Heavy-Duty 2-Row Cooling Core

One of the biggest upgrades is the:

• Thick 2-row aluminum cooling core

Specifications include:

• Overall size: 29.9” x 29.9” x 4.5”
• Core size: 29.87” x 23.54”
• Core thickness: 2.28”
• Inlet/outlet size: 1.77”
• Tank wall thickness: 0.08”

This dramatically improves:

• Heat dissipation
• Coolant capacity
• Thermal stability
• Airflow efficiency

Especially beneficial during:

• Heavy towing
• Long uphill grades
• Hot climate operation
• Daily work use
• Sustained highway hauling

Where factory cooling systems occasionally begin spiritually overheating.

The 7.3 Power Stroke is widely known for its reliability and longevity. Mishimoto has released a performance aluminum radiator for the 1995-1997 Ford 7.3L Power Stroke.

Full Aluminum Construction

Unlike aging OEM radiators that commonly use:

• Plastic components
• Old crimp seams
• Weak factory materials

The Mishimoto radiator features:

• Fully aluminum construction
• Welded aluminum tanks
• Reinforced cooling structure

Helping improve:

• Durability
• Pressure resistance
• Cooling consistency
• Long-term reliability

Because towing massive loads with a 7.3 eventually exposes weak cooling systems immediately.

The Mishimoto Power Stroke aluminum radiator is a perfect upgrade in your work truck, mud truck, or modified pull truck. No matter what the usage of your truck, the Mishimoto radiator will stay your engine cool with its brazed aluminum core and TIG-welded end tanks for superior reliability and function.

Perfect for Towing & Heavy Hauling

This radiator is especially valuable for:

• Fifth-wheel towing
• Equipment hauling
• Construction use
• Farm work
• Long-distance towing
• Daily commercial use

Improved cooling helps reduce:

• Coolant spikes
• Thermal fatigue
• Heat-related power loss
• Cooling system strain

Especially when towing trailers large enough to visibly affect acceleration and stopping distance simultaneously.

The Mishimoto 7.3L radiator is precision engineered for exact factory fitment; it bolts right as much as the stock fan shroud, making an allowance for simple installation. Included with the Mishimoto Power Stroke aluminum radiator is a magnetic drain plug and signature lifetime warranty.

Compatible Ford Powerstroke Models

The Mishimoto Performance Aluminum Radiator is compatible with:

• 1995 Ford F-250 7.3L Powerstroke
• 1996 Ford F-250 7.3L Powerstroke
• 1997 Ford F-250 7.3L Powerstroke
• 1995 Ford F-350 7.3L Powerstroke
• 1996 Ford F-350 7.3L Powerstroke
• 1997 Ford F-350 7.3L Powerstroke

Perfect for:

• Tow rigs
• Work trucks
• Farm trucks
• OBS Powerstroke restorations
• Tuned diesel builds
• Heavy-hauling setups

Because nobody buys a 7.3 to drive gently and preserve fuel economy emotionally.

Overall Size: 29.9” x 29.9” x 4.5” / Core Size: 29.87” x 23.54” / Rows: 2
Inlet & Outlet: 1.77” / Core Thickness: 2.28” / Tank Wall Thickness: 0.08”

Ideal for Tuned 7.3 Builds

This radiator is also excellent for:

• Tuner-equipped trucks
• Larger injectors
• Bigger turbo setups
• High-mileage performance builds
• Heavy-duty diesel street trucks

Extra fueling and boost create:

• Higher EGTs
• Increased coolant demand
• Greater thermal load
• Elevated engine bay heat

And modified 7.3s create enough heat to concern nearby asphalt.

Better Reliability for High-Mileage Trucks

A larger aluminum radiator helps improve:

• Long-term cooling stability
• Engine reliability
• Towing consistency
• Preventative maintenance durability

Especially important because:

• Most OBS Powerstrokes now have extremely high mileage
• Original cooling systems are aging
• Many trucks still work daily despite surviving decades of abuse

Pure diesel stubbornness honestly deserves scientific study.

OEM-Style Direct Fit Installation

The radiator is engineered for:

• Direct-fit installation
• OEM hose compatibility
• Factory mounting integration

Typical installation requires:

• Coolant drain
• Socket set
• Hose clamp tools
• Approximately 4-6 hours

No major:

• Fabrication
• Cutting
• Custom mounting typically required

Which is fortunate, because old diesel truck projects already spiral into “while I’m here” repairs instantly.

Why Upgrade the 7.3 Powerstroke Radiator?

Common reasons owners upgrade radiators include:

• Aging OEM radiator failure
• Heavy towing demands
• High-mileage preventative maintenance
• Tuned diesel cooling needs
• Extreme climate operation
• Long-haul reliability

A performance radiator remains one of the smartest upgrades for older diesel trucks because:

• Heat destroys towing reliability quickly
• Modified diesels create enormous thermal load
• Old factory cooling systems were never designed for modern power goals

Especially once tuning and towing combine forces.

Final Verdict

For 1995-1997 Ford 7.3L Powerstroke owners wanting serious cooling improvements and long-term reliability, the Mishimoto Performance Aluminum Radiator delivers major thermal management upgrades with rugged aluminum construction.

Key benefits include:

• Thick 2-row cooling core
• Full aluminum construction
• Improved heat dissipation
• Better towing thermal stability
• Ideal for tuned diesel builds
• Direct-fit installation

Most importantly, your 7.3 finally stops treating every uphill tow like a thermal endurance challenge.
