CSF All Aluminum Performance Radiator For our trucks FINALLY!!!

Wow I remember that Flexalite being a lot more expensive. Tempting mod now.

Now will it fit the CSF without mods?

 

It has the same attach points as the stock shroud does, so there should be no issues!
And I think you are right.. I believe I paid more like 500 for it... grr

 

Just ordered my CSF. Now to see how long it takes my supplier or if all of them are pre sold to URD?

 

They all come from CSF. URD is just one dealer of the radiator. Who did you order it through? No need to reply if you don't want to answer.

 

Yeah they come from CSF, but if they are only building like 10 at a time and URD has 10 on backorder will I get one? I ordered it through a wholesale vendor I have at work that is a CSF Race distributor.

 

Anyone the diameter of the stock clutch fan inside the shroud?

 

?

 

??

 

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

I know my autocorrect fucked up but it was a pretty straight forward question lol


What is the diameter of either the stock fan or the inner diameter of the stock shroud?

I would grab it myself but I’m out.

 

@Roostfactor

 

Not really, I didnt know If you wanted the diameter of the clutch fan or the stock fan shroud. Very different dimensions.

 

Aren’t they only off by a few inches or so? I have yet to pull it out but it looks like the fan itself rides pretty close to the shroud.

 

And thank you

 

The fj shroud is approx 2 inches taller but the same width. The opening for the fan is probably the same. I am pretty sure they use the same clutch/fan combo as the tacoma. There is about 1" gap between the stock fan and shroud. (Not actual measurement)

 

Just talked to my vendor for the CSF because the estimated ship date was 6-18-18 and I hadn't received a tracking number yet and they contacted CSF and was told that they had a small issue with production of the radiator and that the ship date as been pushed back to the end of July. Said it has something to do with QC and the product not meeting their quality standards so they were fixing the issue and then going into production. Just an FYI for anyone waiting on the next batch of radiators.

 

This is my stock 2013 TRD off road V6 auto on a highway trip, not towing anything, at 108 ambient temp. It was fluctuating between 196 and 200 depending on GPH(gallons per hour). I live in AZ and have seen ambient temp in the 120's, so it will be interesting to see how hot she gets on those days.


I'm already planning on installing a larger trans cooler because sometimes I tow a small sailboat. If I want to keep this truck forever, would these engine temperatures be high enough to warrant the CSF radiator upgrade? How hot is less than ideal? Normal driving in 65 degree weather(AC off) gives me 182-186F consistently, so I worry when i see 200.

 

The spal fans are awesome.

 

I wouldn't worry about the engine temp until I saw over 210. I hit 200 all the time. I was between 207 and 211 all weekend towing my camper. As for the trans cooler, I will always recommend one as I did take out a trans because I didn't have a cooler and was not monitoring the temp. That being said, are you monitoring the trans temp in two spots? What is TRA and TRB on your guage? I just did some quick searching and all I can find is the one set of x-guage codes I am running to monitor the trans temp after it leaves the trans to be cooled I believe.
