Detailed Description

Global Parts 1831C is a radiator engineered to remove heat from the engine cooling system and help maintain stable operating temperatures. The aluminum core supports efficient heat dissipation, while the plastic tanks provide a common OE-style construction used in many light truck cooling systems. This radiator also includes a transmission oil cooler, making it a practical choice for vehicles that route transmission fluid through the radiator for temperature control. This part cross-references APDI 8011831 and UAC RA1831C for the same application.
