CSF manufactures radiators to performance-focused standards and validates cooling performance through lab testing, with broad application coverage across many vehicle platforms. This part cross-references Spectra Premium CU1396 and CU2182 for the same application.
Common Cooling System Issues
- Overheating from a restricted or aging radiator core
- Coolant leaks from cracked or deteriorated plastic tanks
- Transmission or engine oil temperature concerns tied to a failing cooler circuit
- Poor fitment from a replacement radiator that does not match shroud or line configurations
- Reduced cooling efficiency in high-load driving conditions
Installation Notes
Verify inlet and outlet orientation before installation: inlet is 1 1/4 in. on the right and outlet is 1 1/2 in. on the left. This radiator is an enhanced multi-fit model intended to accommodate variations in fan shrouds, and it includes 3/8 in. and 7/16 in. flare fittings for oil cooler line connections. Confirm the vehicle’s existing line style and mounting layout against the radiator dimensions before final assembly.
Quality Assurance
