2007 HD Trailer Tow Aux Trans Radiator ??

[chuck s]

Would you guys with HD trailer tow (option 536) look at your auxillary transmission radiator for me please and count the radiator's channels.

The towing guide indicates it should be 11 channels. 7 channels is the standard, non towing option aux radiator.

My truck indicated it has the 536 option but only has the 7 channel aux radiator. Making me wonder if I have the larger engine coolant radiator now...

Thanks,

FWIW - mine came back from the dealer upgraded and it was a five row and now has the 7 row. I have posted the p/n of the parts in another post.

Thanks, Mark. According to the F150 guys the current parts 5 and 7 row are as you note. The HD radiator is full width of the coolant radiator, it used to be only partial width.

Chuck I know this is stupid question, but were is it? I have the HD tow option as well.

Look thru the grill. The transmission radiator is in front of the engine radiator about 2/3 of the way up and runs the full width. "You can't miss it!"

7 rows of fins on the HD version, 5 on the standard version. I fully admit I've not peeked at a non-HD tow package model only because I've not seen one parked. This info is from several sources including quoted emails from Ford so I'm confident.

I looked at my sticker and it says I have the $395 "Heavy Duty Trailer Tow" option. Here is a pic of my radiator I just took. Dont know if this helps or not.

That's it. Seven (7) rows. (Only looked like six in the first photo.)

Nearly full width. I stated full width earlier, but this is as wide as they get.

Here's mine:

Hey Chuck - would you do me a favor- Can you take a pic of the regular radiator from the top looking down to I can see the width?

If you look from the drivers side there is a small area which shows the plastic fan shroud and a view of how thick the rad actually is.

I am questioning that my dealer really installed the rad. during my upgrade because looking from the front, it does not have the nice new looking paint like the trans cooler. Maybe they all look like this, but I thought I would just check the width with someone who has the right one. I will take a pic tonight of the area and post it to compare.
Thanks

Here's the port and starboard "corners" of the engine coolant radiator, there's a cover across the top edge (and I'm in the garage). I can try in daylight, weather permitting tomorrow.

Chuck - Thank you very much. It appears that my rad. is the same as yours. I am relieved now.
Thanks again - Mark
