GEN 1 Mishimoto Radiator upgrade experience?

[Dane]

I'd going with a company known for heavy duty racing parts. Mishimoto is OK, but they aren't that.

Which would you recommend?

Which would you recommend?

Ron Davis or C&R.

Full race and Ron Davis have decent radiators . I have a Ron Davis it is the largest you can fit without modifying anything. Works very well but is twice as much as mishimoto and full race . http://www.rondavisradiators.com/Ford-Raptor-Radiator.htm

Well, I can't get to the Ron Davis site. I called this place that sells them - https://www.racereadyproducts.com/radiators-and-accessories/ron-davis-radiators/ and was told they don't make drop in products, you need to measure it all out and have a custom radiator built. Is that accurate?

Ron Davis or C&R.

Not Full Race?

Don't know if there is a difference in radiators from 2012 to 2013, but I went on the Ron Davis website for you and found a part number for 2010-2012 Ford Raptors:

They don't show a price, but here's the description:

• Installs without modifications
• All aluminum construction

I don't know anything about them. They may be good.. I don't know.

Since Ron Davis makes one according to TDBrown's post, I'd buy that if I needed a rad for my Raptor. It ain't gonna be cheap tho!

Mine's a 2012. Thanks for the link. Apparently that site doesn't work if I'm connected through VPN. Go figure. I'm checking it out now. Appreciated.

I also had a Ron Davis radiator for my Gen 1. The quality was superb and it is massive! Most of the Mishimoto products that I have read about are hot garbage and poor quality. As in most things in life, you get what you pay for. Pay the extra money and get a Ron Davis or CBR radiator.

I'll give them a call and see how painful it is. I'm in no rush.
