Product Details

CSF designs and manufactures radiators to high-performance standards, with engineering validation that includes wind tunnel testing for cooling performance. The 3262 radiator follows an OE-style configuration with plastic tanks, an aluminum core, and a cross-flow layout to match the original cooling system architecture on supported vehicles. This radiator is a practical replacement choice for drivers servicing a Chevrolet Impala radiator, Buick LaCrosse radiator, or Chevrolet Monte Carlo radiator application where factory-style dimensions and hose connections matter. This part cross-references Spectra Premium CU2827 and APDI 8012827 for the same application.
