Detailed Description

Global Parts 13490C radiator is engineered to remove heat from the engine coolant while also supporting transmission fluid cooling through the integrated cooler. The aluminum core helps transfer heat efficiently, while the plastic tank design keeps the assembly lightweight and consistent with common OE-style radiator construction. With a 22-inch core height, 26.63-inch core width, and 1.75-inch core thickness, this radiator is sized for the listed Ram heavy-duty truck applications. Global Parts 13490C is a direct replacement option for Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 models from 2013 through 2018.

This part cross-references Spectra Premium CU13490 and OSC 13490 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Engine overheating from a damaged or inefficient radiator
• Coolant leaks from cracked tanks or a compromised core
• Transmission temperature concerns when the cooler circuit is no longer functioning properly
• Reduced cooling performance caused by corrosion or internal blockage
• Fitment issues when replacing a worn radiator on Ram 2500 or Ram 3500 trucks

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify inlet and outlet hose sizes, cooler line routing, and mounting points before installation. Inspect hoses, clamps, and surrounding cooling system components for wear while replacing the radiator. Proper coolant fill and system bleeding are important after installation to help restore normal operating temperatures.

Quality Assurance

Global Parts 13490C is built as a radiator replacement for the listed Ram truck applications, with materials and dimensions specified for fitment-focused service work. The design combines an aluminum core, plastic tanks, and an integrated transmission oil cooler to match the cooling needs of 2013-2018 Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 models.
