For a radiator you could try these guys
Detroit Radiator Corporation Heavy Duty Truck Radiators, Radiator Cores, Charge Air Coolers
If your engine is still bone stock, I think there is a better flash file for your ecm and turbo upgrade to gain more power and mpg.
@superhauler or @swaan @rollin coal would you guys have any recommendations?Last edited: Mar 31, 2018
Bigrigmayo93 Thanks this. -
Thanks for the info. I know about the flash. But was thinking of a temporary turbo for now till I do the full tune.SAR Thanks this.

I went to their website. I clicked on “find by vin” it asks for email & phone number so I’m assuming I wait for them to respond?

Yes they will get back to you. I would call them, they are super nice and helpful. They will want to know a part number on your old radiator so they can narrow down which one you need. There is different inlet and outlet tube angle and sizes. If you can't find a part number just call Kenworth with your vin and call them back.Oxbow and Bigrigmayo93 Thank this.

Not to badmouth anyone and maybe there quality has changed as of recently. Stopped using Detroit radiator years ago due to repeat tank sealing issues at the cork seals. Seamed like every one would come back inside a year. Yes , they were taking care of under warranty, but not the labor. Big job to do all over again. Finally gave up on them.

I personally would go CAT on the turbo.BoxCarKidd, SAR, Oxbow and 1 other person Thank this. -
Alright sounds good. I will look for a part number first then look into calling them. Thank you again.

Thanks for the advice. I will look into them.
That’s what I was thinking on the turbo. Well at least for now.Oxbow Thanks this. -
You might want to compare prices with your Kenworth dealer. When I checked on a radiator for my T-600, local KW dealer was cheaper then Detroit radiator so I ended up going with them and they also had it in stock.BoxCarKidd, Bigrigmayo93 and Oxbow Thank this.

I don't have any experience with them(Detroit radiator), @snowman_w900 recommended to check them out as he bought a radiator not to long ago from them and was happy with the results, but I ended up going local with a radiator cause they were cheaper and was in stock.
I did talk to Detroit and were super nice to chat with. They would do 7 year warranty on a radiator and was a 4 row.Oxbow Thanks this.
