Getting ready for some top end work and i'm gonna replace the water pump and radiator while it's down. What's the best direct fit replacement radiator and water pump for the LTs. I'm figuring the water pump would be pretty standard but i'm sure someone make a direct fit radiator that is maybe flows better? Dam TX heat. I'm tuned for the 160 stat but she still gets into the 190s in stop and go. Runs about 180 on the highway on a hot day and 170 on a cool night or early morning.

Doing all the hoses too. It'd be nice if there was a whole cooling system hose kit so i don't have to buy them all individually.

Thanks

 

Have you looked into running an electric pump? Of course there will be an argument on whether its the best route or not. Me personally am just running a Checker,CSK,Oreilly pump, new not remand. I think the first one lasted 1 year and went bad. Took it back and got a new one. Not so bad if you know how to pull it apart quick enough. So far so good with the 2nd one. I think its hit or miss with any pump, just dont get remanufactured ones. Thats my 2 cents.
