What did u do to your raptor today?

Full Race Radiator, fresh coolant and Motorcraft upper & lower radiator hoses this last weekend. Stock one developed a semi-random leak at the plastic tank, 203k miles seemed like a good time to swap the hoses as well. That lower clamp at the block was of course clocked at an impossible angle to get with any of my normal constant-tension clamp pliers (i.e. pliers or pliers at the "wide" pivot haha). Went to Autozone and got one of those cable-operated clamp pliers as I had seen used on redonKiLaus's detailed videos, they DID get the job done but just barely, they never would ratchet to the tightest setting but they did engage the clamp and get it loose enough to work the hose off. Radiator is beautiful, perfect fit and finish, wish you could see more of it when mounted haha!

Hey Ben, any extra capacity in the all aluminum rad? Cant really tell in the picture if the core is wider or if end tanks hold more.

Yes! Full Race doesn't really tell how much increased capacity (although that's probably more marketing hype than anything) but it does say it's a "42mm 2-row (compared to 22mm 1-row)" for the stocker. Here's a little better angle, eyeballing it does look like the core is about twice as thick...

1. Spark plugs replaced -- 4 of them are nasty, after 8 years 40k kms.
2. Wilwood front BBK installed -- brakes better, but not big improvement.
3. swaybar removed-- should have done it earlier!
