Radiator Help

[fyreduck1921]

Bronco Experts,
I have a leaking radiator on my 93 Eddie Bauer (Stock 351W/5.8L, E4OD, 3.55 gears, 31 inch tires). I have searched the forums for information on radiators and have think I have a handle on things, but I want to be sure. I believe that I have the factory heavy duty cooling package. My radiator measures 2-1/4" in thickness and my transmission cooling lines run into the radiator as well as an auxiliary cooler in front of the radiator. I would like to upgrade to a better radiator than OEM replacement, if I can do so with minimal modifications. I am leaning towards the Advance Auto / CarQuest P/N 432183 so far. Any input is appreciated.
Thanks,
Steve

Yo fyreduck1921,
Due to the aux trans cooler, you have the super duper trailer towing package option with super engine cooling, front and rear stabilizer bars, 5.8, tailer tiw harness, quad fron shocks, etc.
See info in 1993 Bronco Dealer Brochure in Google Drive @ 93Bronco.pdf

Hey Miesk5!
Our '96 has the Super Engine Cooling. The fan shroud is damaged and needs replacement. Is there a different shroud for those so equipped? All I can find is one part # for "one-row core radiators" #FO3110121 later changed to F4TA-8146-CC.
Thanks very much!

Happy Easter to you and your family too. I,m sure you do your own work. Anyways if it hasn,t been out before. You might want to remeber to take some PB BLASTER, Kareo oil or MD 4- and spray the fitting and let it soak in before you try to take it out. Most of the time they will give you problems

Yo Bent,
Shroud Modification (Single Core) for Heatbuster 4 Row in a 96 5.0; "...so I didn't find a 2 core shroud They go for about $130 at LMC so that was my last ditch. So I used my 1 core shroud on the heatbuster 4 core radiator. For the bottom clips, there are two sets of holes, if you use the outermost set, you can make the clips work on the bottom of the radiator to hold in the shroud. For the top shroud bolts, I used two self tapping screws with rubber washers as a temporary fix. After I put some miles on it, I'll determine if I need to move it up or down any and will do a more permanent mount. I put 50 miles on it today and had no issues with the fan coming into to contact with anything. I kind of zip tied the throttle body hose loosely to the body for now.I did have to notch the shroud to get my arm in there to put the fan back on, its tight but it works. I'm a little worried about the fan contacting the upper hose so I'll probably come up with a way to put a piece of thin removable sheetmetal over it so I can still remove fan easily. I'd also recommend changing your belt if you use the 1 core shroud as it makes it a little difficult to access it. I still plan to to put a 2 core shroud on when I find one at the yard, but just wanted to inform people that you can make the 1 core shroud work..."

Miesk5,
Solid gold resource right there, thanks very much. Will investigate. Meantime the strap metal and screws seem to be holding it together well enough until a replacement is found.
Happy Easter
