What is the difference between a Saleen radiator, Troyer radiator, Ford Racing M-8005-P221 or the HD Ford radiator that comes with the towing package? Does the larger raditor stick farther into the engine compartment, and if so by around how much?

Well the factory radiator is a single bypass radiator the Ford racing one is the same as the factory on but the ford racing one is solid aluminum compared to the stock one that's plastic and aluminum the saleen radiator is a dual bypass and its about two times as thick as the factory radiator and its 150 bucks

This is a the Ford Racing radiator next to the heavy duty radiator that came in my Lariat with the towing package.

The saleen is the same size but the saleen is a dual bypass radiator meaning it cools the fluid twice

OMFG,

I got it But, no where in town had these gay tools, drove around for hours looking for it, couldn't get the clamp off the water pump, nor could i get it back on! Finally finish it all, this hose looks like crap lol. I plan to cut it out and use stainless still piping.. and yes the stock shroud will fit on...

Got pics? Your running the factory fan? What gay *** tools are you referring to. Other than the lower rad hose and other mods?

I think he's referring to the fan clutch wrench and the transmission cooler line disconnect.

Well I got mine done it was easy I didn't have to remove the oil filter. All I did was jack my front end up and you can get to the lower clamp from underneath. The gay a$$ tools are the transmission line tool see part number above they work wonders. Overall I'm very happy with this radiator.
