aFe BladeRunner Street Series Radiator 03-07 ford Diesel Trucks V8 6.0L

Application-specific coolant service

The aFe 46-52141 coolant component is for the specified 2003-2007 Ford F-250/F-350 6.0L turbo-diesel; exact cooler connections must match application. TIG-welded aluminum construction with a 2-1/4-inch three-row tube-and-fin core, fabricated 1/8-inch aluminum end tanks, billet connections and brushed finish. The manufacturer describes the core as eighteen percent larger than stock; this is its published comparison, not an independent measured guarantee.

Key Features

• TIG-welded aluminum construction with a 2-1/4-inch three-row tube-and-fin core, fabricated 1/8-inch aluminum end tanks, billet connections and brushed finish. The manufacturer describes the core as eighteen percent larger than stock; this is its published comparison, not an independent measured guarantee.
• Match the exact cooling component, engine, chassis and supplied hardware.
• Use the actual Ford coolant specification, refill and air-bleeding procedure.
• The current exact manufacturer listing states that this radiator does not require a CARB EO number.

Fitment

46-52141: The current exact product listing and sixteen-page manual support 2003-2007 F-250/F-350 6.0L turbo-diesel. Exact-part fixed retailer tables restore ten named Super Duty trim groups while original broad F-250/F-350 rows remain. Existing Excursion Eddie Bauer/Limited/XLT 2003-2005 and XLS 2004-2005 have own-part positive independent retailer rows but are not named in this full manufacturer manual; retain them qualified by actual 6.0L engine, cooler fittings and mounts, not as a primary cross-platform certificate. Broader F-450/F-550 and implausible F-150 retailer claims are not newly mapped. No 7.3L, gasoline or later-year application is inferred.

Specifications

What's Included

• One radiator, two M6 x 1.0 x 20 screws, two M6 washers, two each of three alternative transmission-cooler fitting styles A/B/C, and one drain valve. Select and install only the correct pair of A, B or C fittings for the actual truck; six supplied alternative fittings do not create six cooler connections. No new hose kit, filter, coupler, thermostat, temperature sensor, cap or coolant is established in this exact bill of materials.
• Fit the replacement radiator into the factory lower grommets. Secure the fan shroud with the two supplied M6 x 20 screws/washers and restore upper mounts using factory screws. Connect the actual A/B/C cooler fittings and all original hoses. A brass drain valve is provided; a new pressure cap or sensor conversion is not established.

One radiator, two M6 x 1.0 x 20 screws, two M6 washers, two each of three alternative transmission-cooler fitting styles A/B/C, and one drain valve. Select and install only the correct pair of A, B or C fittings for the actual truck; six supplied alternative fittings do not create six cooler connections. No new hose kit, filter, coupler, thermostat, temperature sensor, cap or coolant is established in this exact bill of materials.

Identify the correct original transmission-cooler connection style A, B or C and install its matching supplied pair. Lubricate the fitting O-rings with suitable grease to prevent tearing and use appropriate thread sealant on the drain valve. Ensure cooler-line retaining clips are fully seated all the way around where fitted. Reuse correct original radiator hoses/clamps and expansion-tank hose.

Start with the vehicle and pressurized cooling system fully cooled. Use the actual Ford coolant specification and full refill/air-bleeding procedure; fill the appropriate expansion tank to its specified max line. Check transmission-fluid level by the proper actual transmission procedure after cooler-line work where applicable. Test-drive, let the vehicle cool fully, recheck coolant and inspect all connections after 50-100 miles. No universal coolant volume is given.

The exact manual supplies mounting hardware and procedures but no numerical mounting, cooler-fitting or drain-valve torque. Use matching factory and boxed hardware instructions; no intercooler-clamp, transmission-pan or other radiator torque is borrowed.

Disconnect both negative battery cables after cooling. Release lower hose and cooler-line retainers/connections, upper radiator and expansion hoses, and the two upper radiator mounts. Remove the fan shroud after its two screws, then lift the radiator. Preserve the factory lower grommets and upper metal mounts/grommets; no fan-shroud cutting is directed for this exact radiator.

Fit the replacement radiator into the factory lower grommets. Secure the fan shroud with the two supplied M6 x 20 screws/washers and restore upper mounts using factory screws. Connect the actual A/B/C cooler fittings and all original hoses. A brass drain valve is provided; a new pressure cap or sensor conversion is not established. Cool completely, park level, set the brake and disconnect both negative battery cables. Drain the cooling system safely, release the lower hose and transmission-cooler line clips/connections, then disconnect upper and expansion hoses and remove upper radiator mounts. Release the fan-shroud screws, lean the radiator forward to lift the shroud from its lower mounts, then remove the radiator. Identify and install the matching A/B/C fitting pair with protected lubricated O-rings and seal/install the drain valve. Check factory lower and upper grommets, seat the radiator, refit the shroud using the supplied two screws/washers and restore upper mounts with factory hardware. Reconnect expansion/upper/lower hoses and fully seat cooler-line retainers. Refill/bleed with correct coolant, reconnect batteries and check actual transmission-fluid level. Test-drive, cool completely, recheck coolant and inspect connections after 50-100 miles.
