Does the 2007 4.6L have the same radiator as the 2005 4.6L V8 F-150 STX?
I want to order the parts to do this, but do not want to pull it apart first.
Thanks for the awesome right up.

my truck is an stx also so i dont think there would be a difference. it is about size. measure your radiator. the derali kit is made for 16x32 radiator. that is an approx size. all depends on the style your going with.

I wanted to remove the shroud to open things up. I don't travel (live 5 minutes from work) and do not tow or haul on regular basis. I was looking at getting a 2 fan kit. So 2 16"s should work for mine?

i think the fans in the shroud kit are 13"...it is cheaper to go with the shoud kit i bought then two individual fans.

also i have mine i can sell since i am not using them. they are in perfect working condition. No physical damage or modifications to them. I have the receipt so if there is a problem derali will warranty them no problem...there is no name on the receipt or serial number so easy transfer.

if you go with two separate fans i think that price was like 270 range and the kit i went with 235 range before tax...

for non towing applications will work perfect. never had an issue at all and i did several hundred miles this way and not a hiccup. I went both ways through raton pass and no fluctuation in the temps.

the shrouded kit cools better than the two 16"s. i know this because when i had the 16s installed i had the truck there idling and it started to overheat after 10 min of sitting there...keep in mind outside temp was 100ish. when i had the shrouded kit installed no overheating at all..sat there idling for a good 20 min and change in the temp.

The shroud should be used whenever possible. Attaching a couple of fans onto a radiator without a shrould is wasting th efficiancy of the e-fans.

I live in Ohio, so it seldom gets in the 90's, mostly mid to high 80's in June-July-August.
What do you want for them? Have a controller and any sensors or relays? Send pics? mastertech007 at gmail dot com

Thanks
