does anyone know of a replacement radiator that is fully aluminum for the E-series super duty?
Mishimoto doesn't make any for the E-series.
only the F-series.
they told me to try extreme diesel performance?
they dont have any either?
ive been looking on the internet but cant seem to find any?
i have a 2005 Ford E-350 super duty with 6.0 powerstroke.
i only got 3 years of of this one?
it cracked up top by the small overflow hose.
took me 1/2 hr to find it!
it shot out a little when i pushed the hose over a little.
image attached.
it was new just before i bought the bus.
receipt only says $450 with no part # so i dont know what brand it is?
we have extreme weather changes where i live here in oregon.
so the engine compartment gets really hot in the summer.
making things get brittle.
i am thinking of adding some type of hood scoop for more air flow?
but not sure weather to face it forward or open in the back toward the window?
we drive in the rain a lot also.
any thoughts?
thanks in advance.

any suggestions on what i should get if i cant find a all aluminum one?
Motorcraft OEM, Napa or is there a good aftermarket one?
i am waiting for a response e-mail from bulletproof diesel?
probably not much of a E-series demand for them to produce any?
 
You may have to go to a radiator shop, and give them dimensions of your current radiator and see if they can look up a generic one for you. They make them in all shape and sizes, and you just need one that fits.

My bus currently has something similar. It has a radiator that doesn't even fit right but works fine.

As long as your capacity is similar, and can stay in the car mounted it should work fine.
