Bigger radiator/second trans cooler help with towing

Postby Tritony on Sat Aug 13, 2022 5:48 pm

Hi guys, I was wondering if anyone here has upgraded their radiator to the Offroad Daily one link here: https://offroaddaily.com.au/products/mr ... 2mm-3-core
And noticed an improvement with their cooling system? Mine only gets hot when towing, hottest I have seen is 100c, but ideally I want to do as much as possible to prevent it getting that hot in the first place.

I have also been thinking about going with the wholesale automatics trans cooler and bypassing the one in the radiator, will that help with further cooling of the engine.

Has anyone done the above and was it worth spending the $1,000?

Best regards,
Blake.

You dont mention what model/ year Triton. The only thing with by passing radiator cooler is it will take a lot longer for the trans to reach optimum operating temp, That's a hell of a lot of money, if you fail to achieve the result you are hoping for.
You wouldnt by any chance have a Bullbar, Spotties, Blocking natural airflow

Well, they did link the radiator for the MR so lets assume they have an MR.

It's a good question. There seem to be varying reports of heat issues depending on vehicle use and whether a bullbar is installed. I'm also interested in hearing a bit more about this.

G'day Blake

I had similar thinking until I received advice here to install an automate and it works very well indeed!

Cooling system upgrade for MR Triton

Postby Tritony on Thu Aug 25, 2022 1:10 pm

Good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone knew of a good upgrade for the cooling system on the MR Triton? I've been told to steer clear of the aluminium aftermarket radiators as apparently they are bad for leaking.
Anyone upgraded theirs and had good luck with it?

Best regards,
Tritony.
