Australian 4WD Action – August 2019

Give your cooling system the birthday it needs

with this ultimate radiator upgrade from PWR!

WORDS BY JOCK MCDONALD PHOTOGRAPHY BY 4WD ACTION

A

healthy cooling system is vital

to ensuring the longevity of your

engine – and it’s one of those things

we’re all guilty of neglecting at

times. The radiator in your 4WD cops more

punishment than in any other type of vehicle.

They’re easy to block up with mud and silt,

and hard to clean properly without spending

a few hours dropping the radiator out of the

vehicle and cleaning it. After a few years of

hard offroad trips, your radiator can become

mighty tired. On top of that if you’re looking

to increase your engines performance, your

cooling system will have more work to do to

keep things cool. A tired old factory radiator

won’t cut the mustard once you start adding

more fuel to your engine. This issue, we’re

ripping out our tired old alloy plastic factory

radiator and replacing it with a schmick PWR

unit. The PWR radiator has a thicker core, but

not so thick that it impedes airflow. It’s the

ultimate supporting mod if you’re looking to

chase more power, or if your radiator is in

desperate need of an upgrade!
