Description
When it comes to high-performance trucks like the 3rd Gen Ford Raptor and 14th Gen F-150, cooling performance isn’t just a luxury—it’s essential. Whether you’re towing heavy loads, tackling extreme off-road terrain, or running upgraded performance parts like larger turbos and oversized tires, elevated engine temperatures can cause power loss, limit performance, and lead to premature component failure.
The vCSF Heavy-Duty All-Aluminum Radiator delivers the ultimate upgrade in cooling efficiency, ensuring your engine stays within optimal temperature ranges even under the harshest driving conditions. Designed and tested in collaboration with Full-Race Motorsports, this radiator was engineered to eliminate the factory system’s limitations and provide unmatched durability, heat dissipation, and reliability.
Design & Engineering Excellence
This radiator features dual-row 42mm aluminum cores with CSF’s exclusive B-Tube Technology, increasing heat transfer efficiency by approximately 15% compared to traditional oval welded tubes. The multi-louvered 5mm fins maximize surface area and airflow through the core, reducing coolant temperatures dramatically under load.
The all-aluminum TIG-welded construction replaces OEM plastic end tanks for superior strength and heat resistance. Precision CNC-machined mounting pins and brackets ensure a true plug-and-play fit, making installation quick and modification-free.
Key Benefits:
-
Up to 60% larger core volume than the factory radiator for increased fluid capacity
-
20–25% increase in heat transfer efficiency with CSF’s latest 5mm fin technology
-
100% TIG-welded aluminum construction for maximum durability
-
Core straps for added rigidity under extreme stress
-
Ideal for towing, off-roading, and high-boost performance builds
-
Designed for turbo upgrades and heavy-duty applications
Why Upgrade from OEM?
While Ford improved the factory radiators for the latest Raptor and F-150, the demands of high-performance builds push stock cooling systems beyond their limits. Heat from larger turbos, additional boost pressure, and heavy accessories can overwhelm OEM units, leading to performance loss or potential damage. The CSF Heavy-Duty Radiator eliminates this vulnerability—allowing you to drive harder, longer, and with complete confidence.
5mm Fin Technology – Next-Level Cooling
Before production, CSF upgraded the design from a 6.5mm to a 5mm fin spacing—a recent innovation introduced in late 2023. This tighter fin pitch increases cooling surface area and airflow efficiency, resulting in even greater thermal performance in real-world conditions.
Pair it with a CSF Transmission Oil Cooler
For maximum drivetrain protection, pair this radiator with the CSF High-Performance Transmission Oil Cooler (CSF #8102) for 2015–2025 F-150 and 2017–2020 Raptor models. Featuring proprietary AC condenser technology and 32mm 10-channel microtubes, it dramatically reduces transmission oil temperatures for improved longevity and reliability.
