Thumbnail Filmstrip of 6.7 Powerstroke Bladerunner Street Series Primary Radiator AFE 46-52131 Images
The AFE 46-52131 BladeRunner Street Series Radiator, available at XDP, is the ultimate performance-grade solution to replace the leaking or worn-out factory unit in your 2011-2016 Ford 6.7L Powerstroke. Under heavy towing and demanding workloads, the stock radiator's plastic end tanks and thin core are highly susceptible to cracking and structural failure from constant heat cycles. AFE engineered the BladeRunner Street Series to completely eliminate these vulnerabilities by replacing weak factory materials with a rugged, all-aluminum design. This high-quality cooling upgrade safeguards your diesel engine from catastrophic overheating, ensuring your truck maintains peak thermal efficiency and long-term protection under pressure.
- Oversized 2-Row Core: Features a heavy-duty 1-7/8" thick tube and fin core that is 20% larger than the factory radiator, significantly increasing coolant capacity and surface area for maximum cooling efficiency.
- Aircraft-Grade End Tanks: Fabricated from robust 1/8" aluminum plates, providing exceptional strength and durability compared to fragile, crack-prone factory plastic tanks.
- Billet Aluminum Connections: Equipped with heavy-duty billet aluminum inlet and outlet ports to ensure long-lasting, leak-free reliability under high pressure.
- 100% TIG-Welded Seams: All structural joints and seams are 100% TIG-welded by hand, delivering proven track-ready strength and superior resistance to vehicle vibration.
- Premium Brass Drain Valve: Includes a heavy-duty brass drain valve with an integrated fitting, allowing you to easily connect a hose for clean, hassle-free coolant flushes.
- Perfect Drop-In Fit: Utilizes the original factory mounting locations to provide rock-solid stability and a hassle-free, modification-free installation.
- Custom Styling: Finished with a clean, brushed aluminum appearance and a painted AFE POWER logo on the front face for a premium look under the hood.
From an educational standpoint, upgrading to a 20% larger core drastically improves your Powerstroke's thermal management capabilities. In a heavy-duty diesel engine, heat soak occurs when the radiator can no longer reject heat as fast as the engine generates it, forcing operating temperatures to spike. The oversized 1-7/8" thick, 2-row design of the BladeRunner Street Series increases fluid volume and optimizes coolant flow dynamics, allowing the system to rapidly dissipate heat over an extended period. By engineering a solution focused on power, performance, protection, and value, AFE delivers a professional-grade product that keeps your engine running cooler and lasting longer.
