If you're looking to keep your engine cool and running smoothly, you really can't go wrong with a CSF radiator. I've had my fair share of experiences with different brands, but CSF stands out for a reason. They’ve been in the game for over 50 years, and they know their stuff. With more than 3,200 applications covering everything from Acura to Volkswagen, it's pretty clear they've got a radiator for just about any ride you might have.

What I love about CSF is that they offer a range of radiators that match the original equipment (OE) in both materials and design. Whether you’re rocking a Copper-Brass setup or something more modern like Plastic-Aluminum, CSF has you covered. Their radiators are crafted with top-notch components, and trust me, you can feel the quality when you hold one in your hands. Plus, they’ve sold over 30 million units worldwide, which says a lot about their reliability.

One thing that really impressed me is how they engineer their radiators. Each one is wind tunnel tested to ensure it performs well under pressure. The construction features OEM specified Plastic Tank-Aluminum Core, which means it’s built to last. The tanks are made from virgin grade engineered plastic resins that are glass-filled for extra durability. You won't have to worry about this thing failing on you anytime soon.

And let’s talk about the details. The gaskets are made from a special grade of EPDM rubber, designed to withstand extreme temperatures, down to -120°F. The fins, which are basically the heart of the radiator, use a high-performance multi-louvered design to maximize cooling efficiency. Plus, every radiator is leak tested at 150% of the operating pressure before it leaves the factory. You can rest easy knowing that you’re getting a product that’s been rigorously checked.

When it comes to fitment, this particular model is designed for the Ford Edge from 2012 to 2014. It’s a crossflow radiator with a single row, boasting a core length of 26 5/16”, a width of 11 5/8”, and a thickness of 7/8”. The inlet is located on the upper driver side, and the outlet is on the lower passenger side, both with a diameter of 1 3/8”. There's even a high-efficiency oil cooler included, measuring 10 1/16”.

Just a quick tip: when you’re swapping out your radiator, don’t forget to check the old radiator pressure cap for any signs of wear. It’s a small detail that can save you a headache down the road.

In short, if you want a radiator that combines quality, durability, and performance, CSF is the way to go. You won’t regret it.
