No, just a dual core like what was supposed to come in the 531 or 535 Tow package. I've ran those crazy expensive custom radiators before and it never fails that something goes wrong and I end up having to replace them with a factory replacement. lol

One of the main things I'm doing is to upgrade items with factory HD/upgraded parts. That way I'm not stuck with a hard to find part when they do break.

That is a really good idea. Especially since this will be your overland rig.

Replaced both u-joints on the rear drive shaft. I had to take the drive shaft in to a shop to have one u-joint cut out with a torch. It looked original (180,00 km), was dry (no zerk) and was rusted in place. The other u-joint was cracked.

No more clunk, drive-line vibration or noises.

The two bed bolts I cut out have to be put in with washers and nuts and the bumpers need to be put on. Then it's just a matter of putting the Radiator in and checking my grounds.

I can see the finish line but I don't have a lot of time today.

You can cut the u joint with a 4 1/2" angle grinder with a cutting blade. Just did this myself this past sunday.

And here is what my u joint looked like on the truck.
