On to rad install. Note: here's the two side frames you'll need to source to use this Spectra aluminum rad, should you choose to do so. They are designed specifically for this specific model/size of rad (in both aluminum & plastic tank versions) used on a wide variety of Freightliners and other med/heavy duty OTR trucks. With this frame set up the rad install became much easier. It is designed to allow the aluminum radiator to expand/contract inside the two metal side frames, greatly extending durability and service life (I hope). The Spectra tech (Canada) advised that these frames can be hard-mounted directly to the frame of the vehicle as they provide ample shock and expansion accommodations. However, the frames did require minor modifications to work in this application.
