aFe BladeRunner Street Series Tube & Fin Aluminum Radiator 03-09 Dodge Diesel L6 5.9L/6.7L

Application-specific coolant service

The aFe 46-52061 coolant component is for the specified 2003-2007 Dodge Ram 5.9L turbo-diesel or 2007.5-2009 Ram 6.7L turbo-diesel in the documented configuration application. TIG-welded aluminum radiator with a 2-inch three-row tube-and-fin core, fabricated 1/8-inch aluminum end tanks, billet connections and brushed finish. The manufacturer states a thirty-percent larger core than factory; the comparison is a manufacturer claim rather than independent measured certification.

Key Features

• TIG-welded aluminum radiator with a 2-inch three-row tube-and-fin core, fabricated 1/8-inch aluminum end tanks, billet connections and brushed finish. The manufacturer states a thirty-percent larger core than factory; the comparison is a manufacturer claim rather than independent measured certification.
• Match the exact cooling component, engine, chassis and supplied hardware.
• Use the actual vehicle coolant specification, refill and air-bleeding procedure.
• The current exact manufacturer listing states that this radiator does not require a CARB EO number.

Fitment

46-52061: The full exact manual separates 2003-2007 5.9L turbo-diesel from 2007.5-2009 6.7L turbo-diesel. Exact-part named tables restore Ram 2500 Laramie 2004, SLT 2005 and TRX4 2006-2007 within those manufacturer-supported ranges. The original ST 2005 gap remains because exact tables disagree. Existing Ram 3500 2010 portions have positive own-part independent retailer records but extend beyond this primary listing/manual; retain them explicitly qualified by actual engine, mounting, connections and boxed revision, not as manufacturer-certified 2010 coverage. Broader retailer 2008-2009 5.9L text does not extend the primary 5.9L engine range. No later-year or gasoline mapping is inferred.

Specifications

What's Included

• One radiator, one 18 psi radiator cap as specified by the current listing, one drain valve, one coolant-overflow barb fitting, six M8 x 1.25 x 25 screws and one aluminum spacer with 6 mm inside diameter and 6.4 mm thickness. The spacer is specifically for the electronic fan-clutch electrical-conduit bracket where fitted. No hose kit, intercooler, fan-clutch assembly, filter, coupler, sensor or coolant is established as included.
• Use two of the six supplied M8 x 25 screws to attach the fan shroud to the new radiator and the remaining four for the upper/lower coolers. The conduit-spacer bracket reuses its original screw. Refit wire-loom and windshield-washer routing along the shroud and reconnect the intake sensor and overflow hose.

The spacer is specifically for the electronic fan-clutch electrical-conduit bracket where fitted.

Apply appropriate thread sealant to the new drain valve and filler-neck overflow barb. Transfer all four original radiator mounting grommets. Reuse the correct factory radiator hoses/clamps and intercooler couplings; protect connections while moving the attached coolers and condenser.

Begin with the engine and pressurized cooling system fully cooled before opening the cap or draining. Use the actual vehicle coolant specification and complete factory refill/air-bleeding procedure, then set the expansion/overflow tank to its specified max line. Test-drive, cool completely and recheck levels. Inspect all connections again after 50-100 miles; no universal coolant volume is given.

The exact manual provides no numerical mounting, fitting, drain-valve or hose-clamp torque. Use the actual factory and boxed-hardware instructions; no values from intercooler pipes, transmission pans or a different radiator are borrowed.

The full procedure removes the intake, moves the A/C condenser aside while supported by a strap, removes the intercooler with assistance, moves upper/lower coolers aside, and releases the upper crossmember before lifting the radiator with its fan shroud. On vehicles with the electronic fan clutch, place the supplied spacer between its lower-crossmember conduit bracket and the crossmember, using the original screw, to move the conduit away from the new radiator; verify clearance from all moving/hot parts.

Use two of the six supplied M8 x 25 screws to attach the fan shroud to the new radiator and the remaining four for the upper/lower coolers. The conduit-spacer bracket reuses its original screw. Refit wire-loom and windshield-washer routing along the shroud and reconnect the intake sensor and overflow hose. Cool the vehicle completely, park level, set the brake and disconnect both negative cables before draining. Disconnect the intake sensor and remove intake/air box. Loosen charge-pipe couplings, suspend the condenser securely without opening refrigerant lines and remove the intercooler with help. Release and move the upper/lower coolers, disconnect radiator/overflow hoses and move top wire/washer routing aside. Release the radiator and upper crossmember, then lift the radiator and shroud together with assistance. Where fitted, install the supplied conduit-bracket spacer at the lower crossmember using its original screw. Seal/install the new drain and overflow fittings, transfer four mounting grommets and attach the fan shroud using two supplied M8 screws. Seat the new radiator with help, secure the coolers with the remaining four screws and restore crossmember, intercooler, condenser, original hoses/couplings and routing. Restore intake/sensor, batteries and overflow hose, refill/bleed correctly and fit the supplied cap. Test-drive, cool fully and recheck levels/connections after 50-100 miles.
