Detailed Description

APDI Radiator 8010738 is a GM radiator built around the listed core size and hose connections for vehicles that require a 26-1/4 inch core and transmission cooling support. The plastic tank aluminum construction helps match the original radiator layout used in many 1980s and early 1990s GM passenger cars, including Buick Century, Chevrolet Celebrity, Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera, Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser, and Pontiac 6000. This APDI 8010738 radiator is specified with a single-row core and integrated transmission oil cooler dimensions to support proper replacement selection.

APDI’s radiator line focuses on replacement cooling components for passenger vehicles, and this part follows that approach with application-specific sizing rather than universal fitment. For buyers searching for a radiator for 1982-1991 Buick Century or a radiator for 1982-1990 Chevrolet Celebrity, the listed dimensions and cooler configuration are the key identifiers to verify before ordering.

This part cross-references Four Seasons 20195 and 20196 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Overheating caused by a leaking or restricted radiator
• Coolant loss from cracked plastic tanks or aged seams
• Poor heat transfer from a worn aluminum core
• Transmission fluid cooling concerns when the radiator cooler is damaged
• Fitment issues when replacing a radiator with the wrong core width or hose size

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify core width, inlet and outlet diameters, and transmission oil cooler length against the original radiator before installation. Confirm the vehicle uses the 26-1/4 inch core configuration listed for the application. Flush the cooling system, inspect hoses and clamps, and check the transmission cooler lines for wear before connecting the replacement radiator. Fits 1982-1991 Buick Century, N/A.
