Technical Details and Construction

The Global Parts radiator 2978C features a 1-row aluminum core measuring 15.75 inches in height, 27.5 inches in width, and 0.94 inches thick. The aluminum core material ensures efficient heat dissipation while maintaining durability under high operating temperatures. The plastic tanks reduce overall weight and resist corrosion, contributing to the radiator's longevity. This radiator uses a cross flow design, which allows coolant to flow horizontally across the core, improving heat exchange efficiency. The inlet and outlet diameters are precisely sized at 1.38 inches and 1.4 inches respectively, ensuring a secure connection with the vehicle's cooling system hoses. With 78 core fins spaced every 4 inches, the radiator maximizes airflow to maintain engine temperature within optimal ranges.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

This radiator is compatible with select Mitsubishi models, specifically the Lancer and Outlander. It is designed to replace original equipment radiators in these vehicles, ensuring proper fit and function. The part number 2978C corresponds to this exact fitment, making it suitable for owners seeking a direct replacement radiator for their Mitsubishi Lancer or Outlander.

• Overheating issues due to radiator core damage or clogging
• Coolant leaks from cracked or worn plastic tanks
• Reduced cooling efficiency from bent or damaged fins
• Engine temperature fluctuations caused by inefficient heat exchange
• Replacement of old or failing radiator to maintain engine performance

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Global Parts radiator 2978C, ensure the vehicle is cool and the cooling system is depressurized before removal. Drain the coolant completely and disconnect the inlet and outlet hoses carefully to avoid damage. Verify the inlet and outlet diameters match the vehicle’s hoses for a secure fit. Inspect and replace any worn hose clamps or seals during installation. After installation, refill the cooling system with the appropriate coolant and bleed air pockets to prevent overheating. Proper installation will help maintain the radiator’s performance and longevity.
