  • Increased contact area between the coolant and aluminum tubes for better heat rejection
  • Louver patterns cut into the cooling fins to better direct airflow.
  • Wind-tunnel tested to show significant efficiency gains in cooling over standard tube radiators
  • 100-psi burst rating

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moves 6,000 cfm of airflow, and provides better heat transfer—all thanks to the extruded-tube design, which replaces outdated single-, two-, three-, and four-core configurations.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.

Benefits of Extruded Core Technology

  • Increased contact area between the coolant and aluminum tubes.
  • A flat surface on which to braze the cooling fins maximizes contact between the tubes and fins.
  • Cooling fins have been designed with louver patterns cut into them to direct airflow.
  • Wind-tunnel tested to be more efficient than standard tube radiators.
  • Significantly stronger (100 PSI burst rating).
  • A corner subhead reinforces the cooling tube-to-header connection (an area prone to cracking and leaking in other brands of aluminum radiators).
  • Warranty: 2-year transferable.

Flex-A-Lite is bringing us a new line of performance aluminum radiators designed just for LS engine swaps. These dual-pass, direct-fit radiators were engineered so that the 1.25” inlet and 1.5” outlet are on the passenger-side tank, which includes a 0.25” NPT bung for the steam port tube.

Flex-A-Lite gave these performance radiators a unique Extruded Tube Core technology, which increases contact area between coolant and the extruded tubes and provides a flat surface to braze the cooling fins to; combined, these characteristics allow for better heat rejection and cooling. Wind tunnel testing has shown that this Extruded Tube Core offers significant cooling efficiency over standard tube radiators.

Extruded Tube Core Features

  • Replaces multi-core radiators with an advanced design.
  • Increases contact area between coolant and the extruded tubes.
  • Provides a flat surface to braze the cooling fins to, maximizing contact between the tubes and fins.
  • Louver patterns better direct airflow.
  • Significantly stronger (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).
  • Direct-fit applications bolt in without any drilling or cutting.
  • Available with and without a Flex-A-Lite electric fan installed at the factory.
  • Warranty: 2 years (transferable).
