Bring your truck down here to Phx in Mid July when temps are 115F. Your ECU will be pulling timing faster than you can shift into 2nd. Fact is our coolant system is marginal. I know many think installing a lower temp thermo is the solution (not) or going in and reprogramming our fans to turn on earlier and ramp up faster (good solution with some results) fixes the problems but the real solution is increasing surface area and volume of the radiator itself.

i still think they work pretty dang good but if the price is right ill get one and try it out
badass looks, hopin some weight savins & extra coolin capacity, IMVHO:rock::rock::rock:
I doubt I would ever need one of these but they sure do look nice. Did the fins per square inch ratio change - increasing the surface area and heat transfer efficiency. Also, is it known if an upgraded water pump or fan would be needed to push more water volume through the larger tubes or air across the radiator surface?

Scoby, i believe Sean knows that not every Viper Truck owner will get one of these.
just like all the other Viper Truck parts that has been generated by our awesome vendors & different manufactures, they know its for the 1% of the 1% & maybe even 1% of that that will buy update/go fast parts for their trucks.:rock:
i for one am excited bout bein able to have the choice of a different/better radiator, coils, catch cans, shifters, etc. (man what a list it would be) :rock::rock::rock:
so thanks to all the members here that get the "parts requests/ideas" in. for the vendors takin it to the next level & gettin'er done so we can have a hell of a to do list for our trucks.:rock::rock::rock:
love my beautiful beast, the folks that make this forum the one & only, the vendors that help keep our pocket books a bit thinner & the knowledge of our very rare trucks.:rock::rock::rock:
the worlds fastest U.S. production truck that ever has been.:rock::burnout::rock::burnout::rock::burnout:long may they shread tires, make folks ask if its got a Hemi & bein able to say HELL NO:rock::rock:
That is very well said Carl, jsut awesome, thank you
Dave, the four above are all that Sean has sent...I will be talking to him tomorrow...he has a beautiful new lady, and he has no interest in talking to me on Sundays! And that's how it should be!
Snow has melted, may be dry enough to get the truck started and get the new radiator installed this weekend!
dang prof I will have one installed before you do!

wish that is the case here. We still got some snow on the ground/roads and its -27*C
Don't feel bad....its about 75 here and I have no truck or bike...I've been stuck to driving a beat up 04 Scion XB

I agree with all these facts. What I do with my cooling system is increase the cooling systems ability to dissapate more heat. I do this by increasing the water ratio in the entire system (75% H20 / 25% Dexcool). I also add the correct amount of water wetter. The ability of this mix reduces overall running tempeatures 20 deg. in my Sportbikes and the Truck.
The Roe triple pass should have significant cooling reduction capacity. Sean was very successful in getting temps way down on racing vipers...my radiator is his prototype to try to do the same for our trucks...I have high expectations...but will not have data for a few months...but he has never let me down in the past...I am confident that this mod will reduce ambient engine temperatures by 25 or 30 degrees...
yep I should know before you
in your truck????
