Product Details

Nissens 61021A is a direct-fit radiator for the 2001 Dodge Dakota, engineered around OE-style dimensions and cooling requirements. The aluminum core helps move heat away from the engine, while the plastic tanks support a lightweight, durable design. Nissens subjects its radiators to corrosion, vibration, pressure impulse, thermal expansion, and thermal performance testing to verify durability and cooling consistency. This part cross-references 5066386AA and 52079747AA for the same application.

Common Cooling System Issues It Can Address

• Engine temperature running higher than normal
• Coolant leaks from a damaged or aging radiator
• Reduced cooling efficiency from clogged or corroded radiator passages
• Visible tank cracking, fin damage, or core deterioration
• Cooling system performance loss after impact or long-term wear

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the radiator dimensions and OE-style mounting points before installation on the 2001 Dodge Dakota. Inspect hoses, clamps, and coolant condition during replacement, and verify that the cooling system is properly filled and bled after installation. Check for leaks and stable operating temperature during the first drive cycle.
