APDI 8013490 Radiator

Overview

This APDI radiator, part number 8013490, is a direct replacement cooling component for Ram heavy-duty trucks. It is built with a plastic tank and aluminum core construction to support efficient heat transfer in demanding cooling systems.

Compatible With Ram 2500, 3500, 4500, 5500, and 4000 applications listed below, this radiator is a fitment-based replacement for primary radiator service. The APDI 8013490 is also cross-referenced to common aftermarket and OE numbers for the same application.

Key Features

• Plastic tank and aluminum core construction for balanced strength and heat dissipation.
• Two-row core design for cooling-system service.
• Core dimensions: 22 in. height, 26-11/16 in. width, and 1-3/4 in. thickness.
• Inlet and outlet sizes measured at 1-13/16 in. and 1-3/4 in.
• Integrated transmission oil cooler connection measured at 12 in.

Detailed Description

The APDI 8013490 radiator is engineered for Ram trucks that require a primary radiator replacement with the correct core size and hose connections. Its plastic tank aluminum design combines lightweight construction with the thermal performance expected in a modern cooling system. For buyers searching for a Ram 2500 radiator, Ram 3500 radiator, or Ram 4500 radiator, this part number provides a fitment-specific option that matches the listed applications.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Overheating caused by a worn or inefficient radiator core.
• Coolant leaks related to aging tank or core materials.
• Restricted cooling performance from a damaged heat exchanger.
• Incorrect replacement sizing when the original radiator dimensions must be matched.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify core dimensions, inlet and outlet diameters, and transmission cooler connection size before installation. Confirm the vehicle application against the listed fitment for 2013-2018 Ram 2500, 3500, 4500, 5500, and 2013 Ram 4000 models. Use the part number 8013490 to confirm the correct replacement radiator before removing the original unit.

Quality Assurance

APDI supplies radiator replacement parts for cooling-system service, and this radiator is built to match the listed application requirements for Ram trucks. Part number 8013490 is supported by fitment data for the specified models and years.
