Detailed Product Description
The Global Parts radiator 2042C features a robust aluminum core measuring 17.25 inches in height, 30.5 inches in width, and 1.25 inches in thickness, providing a substantial surface area for heat dissipation. The plastic tanks reduce weight while maintaining structural integrity. This radiator is designed with a cross flow configuration, which allows coolant to flow horizontally through the core, improving heat transfer efficiency compared to down flow types.
Both transmission and engine oil coolers are integrated into the radiator, with fittings spaced 11.5 inches apart to accommodate OEM hose connections. The inlet and outlet diameters of 1.31 inches and 1.6 inches respectively ensure compatibility with factory cooling system hoses. The core fin count of 73 fins per 4 inches further enhances the radiator's ability to dissipate heat effectively under demanding conditions.
