Side or rear radiator diesel pusher
What are the advantages/disadvantages of side vs rear radiator on a diesel pusher?
Forum Discussion
While I favor the side radiator here's a non favorable comparison.
My 04 Endeavor had stacked CAC and engine rear radiators. The tranny radiator was below the radiator and connected to the radiator output. The cab A/C radiator was in a compartment with a electric fan. Very easy to clean the radiators.
My 09 Sector has 3 layers of sandwiched radiators. From the inside - engine, CAC and then the cab A/C radiator plus the tranny radiator cover 80% of the CAC. This would be very difficult to clean and so far I haven't perhaps due drawing in clean and oil free air from the side. It will be very difficult to clean.
