2 Row Radiator Install
I have not posted this summer but if anyone recalls I had a new 4.2L Jasper engine put in my 2000 4x4 this winter, 130k miles.
It started running hot this spring when the weather changed. So I flushed the system and replaced the single row original radiator with a 2 row Modine from napa in June, was about $271, and fit in perfectly with no mods and was easy to install. Truck seems to run cooler now. I posted some pics of the before and after.

I had problems with the original motor running hot and personally think the volume of water in the system and small rad in all the F150's, V8's too, is a contributing factor. Just wanted to post if it will help some one else.
