Detailed Description
Koyorad A1728 is a replacement radiator engineered to match OE-style fit and function for the Ford Explorer. The aluminum core helps manage engine heat, while the plastic tank design follows common factory-style construction used in many original cooling systems.

Installation Notes and Tips
Verify core dimensions, inlet and outlet sizes, and transmission cooler connections before installation. Flush the cooling system, inspect hoses and clamps, and confirm the radiator mounts securely in the factory location. For best results, replace aged coolant and check for any related cooling system wear during service. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
