Some pretty fart smellers on here!
Sucks about the cranking issue. Did you you replace the FPR on the intake? IIRC, there's one there.

Yes, the OE radiator has the restriction in it. More info here:
2006 Tahoe Cooling system running to cool. 5.3L Flex
I got a 2006 Tahoe 5.3L flex that needed an engine. found a remanufactured (z code engine) had installed with new water pump, radiator and thermostat ( have replaced 3 times wit factory 178 degree stat). Now the engine runs about 165 to 175 on the road. When idling it will get up to about 210...www.tahoeyukonforum.com
Someone on the forum used a part from a TPMS sensor, I think it was, to make the restriction for an aftermarket radiator. @kbuskill maybe?

Yes, kind of... it popped up "Engine Hot, A/C Turned Off" on my way home from church the other night. No CEL but I had to clear a pending P0128 Thermostat malfunction code in order to get the message to go away and the cooling fans to turn off. I checked everything and the truck wasn't...

Sweet thank you! I will scrounge around and see if I have an old TPMS laying around.

The radiator should be here today and the oil cooler lines already arrived, I might get started today since I get home early. I dug through my parts stash and didn't find an old TPMS sensor but then luck struck and I think I have a TPMS sensor going out because the service TPMS message has popped up randomly a few times this week and I know my tires are good because I overfilled them Saturday to 40-45. Also, the message is popping up after 10-15 minutes of driving when the tires should be warm and the pressures up. I'll wait until the radiator has been tested for a week or so before I get the TPMS sensor swapped so I can tell if I need a restrictor or not.
Lol lucky to have a TPMS sensor going out. Said no one ever.

Gotta look at the bright side lol. I'm about due for a rebalance and rotation as well so it all works out in the end.

Does the box look like it fell out of the truck--and run over??Radiator delivered, for some reason, I am very nervous about its shipping condition
Swing by any tire store and I bet they'd give you one or two dead sensors for your science project.
