Recommended radiator?

CBR or Ron Davis

A handful of people had leak issues with the CBR ones, meaning it wouldn't be any better than the Mishimoto issues. The Ron Davis one doesn't even have a price or availability.

I’ve ran CBR’s and never had an issue with them. You have to call Ron Davis for pricing.

I didnt see a ford specific on CBR site…?

For the hose clamp tool I’d recommend the Astro. It’s more expensive than the cheapies (but wayyy less than Snap on). When you need it (like for the brutal lower rad hose on these), you will be glad you spent a bit more!

I’ve only ran a CBR on a Gen1. RPG sells it. CBR will make a custom radiator for a Gen2 or Gen3, however I have not ran one in those year Raptors. Keep in mind, you will still have to trim the fan shroud for the Gen1.

Definitely a good looking piece but...I can almost get another 2 Full Race spares for that much (and my labor is free heh). Or a massive transmission cooler (I'm good with the Ford Saudi cooler there). Not knocking CBR at all and I did seriously consider them but couldn't justify that price since I'm not like competing in SCORE or NORRA.

I ran the full race 20 Row transmission cooler in conjunction with the CBR radiator and also ran the Aftco heat exchanger with two 10” SPAWL fans for the supercharger in my last Gen1. For cooling purposes, I found that this was the best set up after running all the other radiators (with the exception of the Ron Davis) and heat exchangers on the market. The only radiator that would be superior to the CBR would be the Ron Davis.

What about running remote mount somewhere else for some of that stuff?

At this point I'm just gonna go with the Full Race radiator. I'm assuming it would be a good idea to go with their transmission cooler as well? Any other recommended upgrades to do at this time?

Full Race, I have had a FR radiator in my gen 2 now for 2.5 years and it has been great. As for trans cooler, I kept stock, as even towing I don't see anything beyond middle of the road normal temps
