    OEM doesn’t, but CSF isn’t the only game in town anymore. There are AFE and big Ron at a minimum now.

    CSF is acting like they’re the only game though. The chick on the phone was so arrogant and dismissive it caught me off guard.

    yah thats the feeling I get from them too. I would have gone with AFE or Mishi or someone that I knew more but everyone was on the CSF tip when I picked up mine and the idea of plug and play was a big component. It will work but yah their customer service is really bad. You need to be an IG whore or something that will benefit them. If they made a slight change and were nicer to customers it would be a different story.

    Right after I ordered mine AFE came out with one but have not seen any reviews of it.

    This is really good info! I was going to get a CSF one to help with the heat in Phoenix. Then Covid hit and I've only driven 1k miles in the last 8 months. So I haven't been motivated to put any work into it and now I'm glad I waited!

    I can’t even find a photo of one installed on a truck. I’m weary of paying for the privilege of doing R&D for companies at this point. I’ve had my fill while building this truck.

    It would be nice to see Mishimoto come out with one for the 2nd/3rd gens. I just bought a really nice intercooler kit from them and it was very impressive down to minute details, even the packaging.

    When doing my research I found mishimoto and afe rads to be more problematic than csf. Still at the end of the day, they should have warranties within a certain time frame.

    One of the easier examples I found when I was looking for a better rad.

    No, she made it immediately clear she didn’t want to talk to me. It was a very short conversation.

    Everyone should give her a call :cookiemonster:

    What other radiator did you order? I thought this was the only one?

    I was planning on ordering one in the new year.. I thought the new part number changes fixed things.

    overall it’s been ok the fitment of the shroud being the main issue. but would love to hear how the AFE one is.
