Jeez, how big is that radiator? From that picture it has me wondering if the radiator in my gaming PC is more girthy.

If you can get it, see if you can get the dealer to replace the stock radiator with the one from the 4k. A little extra cooling never hurt anybody.

Is that even an option for non-4K trucks, such as the regular EB or even the hybrid?

Dunno for the hybrid. That stuff is cybertron technology.

As for the other EcoBoosts, I strongly doubt there'd be all that much difference in the mounting for the radiators. Only complication I can imagine is if the 4k radiator doesn't have a mini- cooler for the trans slung underneath it. And in that case, it shouldn't be a lot more to add an external trans cooler as well.

That having been said, I'm going from an "if the part fits..." position here.

Pull the grille and solder it. done.

He has the Hybrid in which the radiator has two separate portions. The upper larger portion is for the higher temperature ice coolant and the bottom smaller portion lower temperature high voltage battery coolant. (Separate pumps etc, etc, etc).

Got stuck with the Mav, error read Powertrain control system has detected a fault in the high voltage system coolant pump. Car was towed to the dealer (Ford Roadside assistance is useless but that is a rant for another day). Dealer sent me a vid of a pinhole in the radiator spraying coolant and states it was caused by road debris and not covered under warranty. Hard to imagine since I was driving on local streets (30mph) but so be it. Then the real news came, $1,600 to fix.

Ridiculous price or am I missing something?

Ouch

Hybrid yes, recall no. The only recall I have so far is the heat shield/fire concern and dealer said I was ok (different dealer). I didn't catch the leak as I had moved the Mav out of traffic in to a spot when I was able to restart the truck (could not shut off and had to wait for it to power down). Reservoir was above the minimum line and I saw no coolant on the ground so the vid was a surprise for me. I am not near the dealer so I will have to wait and see the radiator when I pick up.

Not ideal but odds are I'll have to bite the bullet and start looking in to some screen protection

You’ll be lucky if they still have the radiator when you pick up the Mav
