Flex-A-Lite (315360): Direct-Fit Extruded-Tube Core Radiator/Fan System for 6.0L Power Stroke Turbodiesel

Thanks to Flex-A-Lite, better cooling is in sight for owners of 2003–2007 Ford F-250/F-350 Super Duty pickups with 6.0L Power Stroke Turbodiesel engines. The 315360 system, which comes with dual electric fans, replaces the factory belt-driven clutch fan and shroud to deliver more engine power to the wheels and better fuel economy. It also allows for faster engine warm-up and improves A/C performance at idle and slow speeds.

The future of performance aluminum radiators includes a variable-speed, adjustable thermostatic controller, moves 6,000 cfm of airflow, and provides better heat transfer—all thanks to the extruded-tube design, which replaces outdated single-, two-, three-, and four-core configurations. The Flex-A-Lite 315360 radiator/fan combo achieves this performance along with more durability (100 psi burst rating) and less weight.

Applications (including LS swap) available for muscle cars, pickups, and Jeep. Also available without a fan (315300).

Features

  • Increased contact between coolant and aluminum tubes—and tubes and fins—for better heat rejection and cooling.
  • Redesigned cooling fins also contribute to improved heat rejection and cooling—wind tunnel tested!
  • 100 psi burst rating.
  • Corner subhead reinforces the cooling tube–to–header connection, an area prone to cracking and leaking in other brands of aluminum radiators.
  • Available with (315360) and without (315300) dual electric fans.
  • Warranty: 2-year transferrable.

When you bought your Ford Super Duty, you made an investment in toughness. You sought it for its rugged, all-American resilience, and you need to ensure that it keeps on truckin’. Maybe you spend your week hauling lumber from site to site, or perhaps you lug trailers of heavy-duty equipment down the interstate or up the trail. On the weekend, you might depend on that 6.4L Power Stroke to get your boat to the lake and take your family on vacation. All of this hard work takes a toll on your Ford: the bumps, the frame-twisting torque, and the potholes. And as the frame moves, so do vital components under the hood, including the cooling system.

Mishimoto is engineering solutions to help you push the limits of your truck. Take the company’s new direct-fit Upper Radiator Support Crossmember Bar for 6.4L Power Stroke–equipped Super Duty trucks (PN: MMUS-F2D-08). Engineered in Delaware, this patent-pending core support bar is constructed of heavy-duty steel and firmly secures to your truck with hefty, cast-steel anchor points—minimizing front-end flex and improving the truck’s rigidity to reduce stress on cooling components.

Designed with the DIYer in mind, the support crossmember installs in under 30 minutes and allows for extra clearance to accommodate Mishimoto and other large cold-side intercooler pipes without any cutting. Finished in a durable black powdercoat, this product was rigorously tested for performance and is backed by the Mishimoto Lifetime Warranty.

  • Improves rigidity and minimizes front-end flex.
  • Reduces stress on cooling components, road forces, and shock to your truck’s front end.

  • Heavy-duty steel, with cast-steel anchor points for improved strength.

  • No cutting required.
  • Mishimoto Lifetime Warranty.
