Product Details

CSF’s 1 Row Plastic Tank Aluminum Core line focuses on OE-style radiator construction for vehicles that require factory-fit cooling performance. This radiator uses an aluminum core paired with plastic tanks, following the original equipment layout for the Ford E-Series platform. The core measures 29 7/16 inches wide, 23 5/8 inches long, and 1 1/4 inches thick, with a down-flow design and left-side inlet/right-side outlet routing. CSF manufactures radiators to controlled standards and validates cooling performance through lab testing, making Part Number 3112 a practical replacement for aging or leaking factory units.

This part cross-references Spectra Premium CU1994 and APDI 8011994 for the same application.

Common Reasons for Replacement

• Coolant leaks from cracked or aged plastic tanks
• Restricted cooling from a clogged or corroded core
• Overheating caused by reduced heat transfer efficiency
• Damaged inlet or outlet connections
• Failure of the original radiator oil cooler section

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify radiator dimensions, inlet and outlet placement, and down-flow configuration before installation. Inspect hoses, clamps, and mounting points for wear, and confirm the cooling system is clean before filling with fresh coolant. Because this unit uses plastic tanks and an aluminum core, proper hose alignment and secure connections are important for long-term sealing.
