Sustained thermal cycles, vibration, and high system pressures cause these plastic tanks to fatigue, embrittle, and hairline fracture. Simultaneously, internal corrosion and fin deterioration severely diminish heat dissipation, exposing the high-displacement \u003cstrong\u003e6.8L Triton V10\u003c\/strong\u003e and turbocharged \u003cstrong\u003e7.3L Power Stroke\u003c\/strong\u003e engines to catastrophic head gasket failure and cylinder head distortion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Engineering Solution\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEngineered for high-stress towing applications, this direct-fit radiator features an all-aluminum, 100% furnace-brazed 3-row core paired with robust, fully TIG-welded tanks. Eliminating polymer end tanks completely removes common seam blowouts and gasket leaks. With a deep 56mm core profile and precision louvered fins, heat transfer surface area is significantly increased over stock units, promoting rapid thermal exchange across 1.77-inch inlet and outlet passages compatible with both automatic and manual transmissions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 x Direct-Fit 3-Row Aluminum Radiator\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"overflow-x: auto; margin-bottom: 20px;\"\u003e\n  \u003ctable width=\"100%\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; font-size: 14px; min-width: 300px;\"\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eFitment\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e2000-2005 Ford Excursion\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eEngine \/ Chassis\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e6.8L Triton V10 \/ 7.3L Power Stroke \/ U137\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eStock Output\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e310 hp \/ 425 lb-ft (6.8L) | 250 hp \/ 525 lb-ft (7.3L)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eReplaces OEM Part #\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e2171, CC2171, CU2171, DPI2171\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2000-2005 Ford Excursion 6.8L V10\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2000-2003 Ford Excursion 7.3L V8 Turbo Diesel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions \u0026amp; Fitment Warnings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes this fit the U137 Excursion?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, this is a direct fit for the 2000-2005 Ford Excursion equipped with the \u003cstrong\u003e6.8L Triton V10\u003c\/strong\u003e or \u003cstrong\u003e7.3L Power Stroke\u003c\/strong\u003e engines. \u003cstrong\u003eDoes not fit models equipped with the 5.4L V8 or 6.0L Power Stroke diesel engines.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eDo I need to flush the cooling system during installation?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA complete cooling system flush and installation of fresh coolant are required to prevent residual contaminants from clogging the new high-efficiency core.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Ford Heavy-Duty Standard\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConstructed to withstand severe duty cycles and maximum GCWR payloads, this cooling component provides the structural durability and heat-rejection capacity demanded by heavy-duty Ford truck platforms.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VelocityMax","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67901872341240,"sku":"DS-EBHSFFAO5","price":230.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/1290\/2648\/files\/radiator-for-ford-excursion-2000-2005-6-8l-7-3l-1.jpg?v=1793341796","url":"https:\/\/performancechiptuning.com\/es\/products\/radiator-for-ford-excursion-2000-2005-6-8l-7-3l","provider":"Performance Chip Tuning","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
