Scrippy installed do88s 'Big Pack' [rad, oil, PS coolers] earlier this summer for the same reasons stated. Also, did PM with new OE rad shroud assy for added reliability. Installs were flawless, quality as expected. So-far ~800 mls since install, zero issues.

Great results especially with triple digit heat in SoCal recently, even in stop-go traffic conditions. Temps remain stable in more 'extreme' conditions...overall believe more favorable for engine and maybe a bit more performance consistency.
