This is for all the folks trying to keep the older 460 running cool..and more
I have an older conversion, 1994 E350 Shuttle Bus converted to a Personal Motorhome.. It had a long life 180K and well taken care of. Also pulling a 16' trailer with 6K load.
Few years back I had a rad hose go and cooked it (simmered it) . I replaced the radiator, all hoses, thermostat, water pump and timing chain housing Since then I struggled with overheat or verge of with temps running 235-245 constantly on highway.
Well I removed transcooler from rad.. for a Jasper remote setup with oversize lines.. Found an OEM New Clutch for fan.. ...Still under heavy pulling in summer she HOT..
I tore into recently, the Radiator I got was a typical aftermarket.. top tank had a small leak,,, so I searched.. these things that require a 1448 Rad are hard to get.
found a Liland Global, All Alum Rad.. well made, reasonable price, Great Fit..
I also added a 185 HiFlow Thermostat from a local speed shop..
WOW What difference..... way better..
another good addon was a power master 150 amp one wire altenator.. , my rig had the amublance package with a 230 amp and dual AC compressors.. since i do not have that type of draw on power the 150amp is more than enough..
Replaced the compuer, it always had a funky skip, and idle surge.. found a bad capacitor and got a reman, what i difference, ran a tad cooler and trans shifted way better..
Last thing i need to to do exhaust.. the dreaded manifold leak.. debating on that..
Hope that helps some one in need...
