You don’t want this one lol
If I’ve been working mine harder and in high ambient temps, it’s get 180-190ish. I’ve never seen it go above 200 at all so I essentially don’t pay attention to it. I’ve got an air cooler underneath.

Outside of your bubble there were transmissions made that 12th and 17th are direct, just not recently.

Damn gliders...damn thing has an aluminum radiator in it, with no options for direct replacement.
So, now I have to try and figure out what PACCAR changed in 2012. 2012 and down I can buy other options, 2013 up is just an aluminum replacement. WTF.

Were Here to Help You! - Radiator Supply House
Where I got my aluminum radiator.
The aluminum radiator will outlast the truck. Had a wrecked 389 here with 1.3mil miles and radiator looked perfect.
Why do you need a replacement?

Because I can't recore it.

Truck gets hot, driver can't use any of your power you gave him. Need more radiator, or there is something messed up about how this thing is built. The old T800 never gets over 205* but this glider will get to 230+ if you don't start backing way out of it.

Could be, I don't think there's anything wrong with aluminum radiators other than you have to have special chit to work on them.

I’ve recored one radiator ever and swore I would never do it again. Was not worth the effort, was only cheaper if your time isn’t worth anything. I pulled the entire OEM cool pack out of my truck and replaced it with the best aluminum radiator RSH could make and got a Duralite CAC and I don’t have heat issues and my cool pack is the same as a 389.
I would rinse yours out and look at the gauge in the truck. It’s been my experience (especially with my uncle) that “hot” isn’t really hot. He went from one truck to another and the gauge is different. Just because the needle was farther to the right vs his old truck he thought it had an issue and drove around with his engine fan on all the time. Effectively pulling as much dirt in the radiator as he could.
Radiator supply house was the only place I found that didn’t just try and convince you to convert to the older copper fins that rotted away in a few years. But there are lots of trucks around here with more power than your running that have the same radiator you have with no issues. Someone didn’t put cold thermostats in that truck did they?

Who the hell knows? Ohio CAT built the engine with Larson telling them we wanted 475...we never told them anything other that 550hp since we can never have enough. Who knows what we have....
Here's what I get told....Gauge goes to 230, lights, buzzers, and warnings go off and he has to get out of the fuel...Only happens pulling mountains. Used to pull same hills at 40-45mph, now he's at 30-35mph trying to keep it cool.
Finally got told transmission gets to 275* before the lights come on.
As far as recore on a radiator, we do a ton of them since I do them in house. You can't buy radiators for half our stuff, so we're used to that.
I reckon we'll have to tear the charge air off it and give everything a bath and see what we have after than. Blown everything out twice in the last week with air, not dirty with an air wand, but I know that's not as good as the power washer. I'll have to pull the thermostats and change them out too, along with adding a mechanical temp gauge.
