aussie 6.9

I am currently doing maintenance on my 6.9 including cleaning the radiator. Did the 6.9 have a different radiator or was it the same as the smaller v8s and the sixes?. Regards Mark

Hi Mark, the 6.9s had two types of Radiators. the high compression engine had a separate engine oil cooling Radiator, with the Australian and American version having a somewhat wider unit, and that version also incorporated gearbox oil coolant with the prerequisite plumbing changes on account of a separate gearbox oil cooling pump. You may be able to adopt a 450 unit, but with a lot of difficulty. Regards Styria

Gets pretty hot out here in summer and i took my 6.9 radiator out and got the local radiator expert to take the tank’s off and ”rod” the tubes.. 15% of the tubes were blocked solid so I took the radiator out of my parts car and tried it and it came up really good . It’s going into my drive car today and hopefully it will handle the hot weather a bit better. Regads Mark.
That's a good outcome - nice to have the parts on hand. You could also have considered having a new core manufactured, but even that sort of facility is starting to die out. It's becoming more and more difficult to find the right tradespeople. Regards Styria
