Detailed Product Overview

This Global Parts radiator, part number 2215C, is engineered for heat rejection in the engine cooling system by moving coolant through an aluminum core and dissipating heat through the fin pack. The plastic tank design and down-flow layout match the construction commonly used in OE-style replacement radiators for Nissan Frontier and Nissan Xterra models. With a 27.2-inch core width and 17.6-inch core height, this radiator is sized for the listed applications and includes transmission oil cooler fittings for vehicles that route automatic transmission fluid through the radiator.

Compatible With 1998-2004 Nissan Frontier and 2000-2004 Nissan Xterra. This part cross-references APDI 8012215 and Spectra Premium CU2215 for the same application. Global Parts 2215C is also referenced by multiple interchange numbers, including 2215C in related catalog listings.

Common Cooling System Issues

• Engine overheating from a restricted or leaking radiator
• Coolant loss caused by cracked tanks or damaged core seams
• Transmission fluid temperature concerns when the cooler circuit is part of the radiator
• Reduced cooling efficiency from bent fins or internal blockage
• Temperature fluctuation during stop-and-go driving or towing

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify inlet size, core dimensions, and transmission cooler fitting style before installation. Confirm that the vehicle uses the down-flow radiator layout and that the transmission oil cooler connection matches the tube fitting design. Flush the cooling system, inspect hoses and clamps, and check the fan shroud, thermostat, and coolant condition before installing the new radiator. For fitment-specific searches, this radiator is listed for 1998-2004 Nissan Frontier and 2000-2004 Nissan Xterra, making it a relevant replacement for Nissan Frontier radiator and Nissan Xterra radiator applications.

Quality Assurance

Global Parts supplies this radiator as an OE-style replacement built to match the listed fitment and cooling-system specifications. The aluminum core, plastic tanks, and integrated transmission cooler provisions support proper coolant flow and heat dissipation in the specified Nissan applications.
