Detailed Description
CSF 3944 is engineered as a direct-fit radiator for Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 models from 2019 through 2024. The aluminum core and plastic tank design follows an OE-style layout while the upgraded heavy-duty 2-row core adds thickness for improved heat rejection in demanding towing, hauling, and daily driving conditions. This radiator is cross-flow configured with a 1 15/16 in. inlet on the left and a 1 15/16 in. outlet on the right. CSF states its radiators are developed to performance standards and validated through wind-tunnel testing, supporting consistent cooling performance across real-world use. This part cross-references Mopar 68322491AA and BBB Industries 13871 for the same application.
Common Issues This Radiator Can Address
- Overheating under load in Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 trucks
- Reduced cooling efficiency from a worn or clogged factory radiator
- Coolant temperature rise during towing or stop-and-go driving
- Leaks or tank deterioration associated with aging radiator assemblies
- Need for an OE-style replacement with a thicker heavy-duty core
