Well are the issues warranted just beacuse off the rad? Is there another prob causing the truck to heat up?
Anyway i just know off hand about the fluidines, they some of the best out there. they are also very PROUD of what they make too.

I bought a dual core radiator from autopartswarehouse.com, for towing purposes. cost about $200 bucks shipped to my door. Direct fit factory replacement"visteon" brand. I also put a heavy duty fan clutch that makes the truck sound like a semi! That keeps things really cool. I pulled a fully loaded 8'x18' cargo trailer from Oak Harbor, Wa. to Jacksonville, Fl. this past summer. No overheating problems!
Have you flushed your radiator lately? maybee she is a little dirty. Here it is:http://www.autopartswarehouse.com/de...3-1703077.html

Thanks guys, well i have had it flushed within the past year, and i have a dual e fan set up, the only time it does it is in stop and go traffic in the summer when its like 90... im just afraid to take it on long trips knowing its gonna spew out and overheat, i did a fluiddyne in my mustang and it solved the problems, so i was hoping to do so in the truck, i will check out the dual core that you linked for me, thanks alot!
