Detailed Description

This radiator is built around OE-style dimensions and cooling architecture for vehicles that require a direct-fit replacement. Core measurements include a 22 7/16-inch height, 18 1/16-inch width, and 1-inch thickness, with 1 1/2-inch inlet and outlet diameters. The unit uses premium tubes, fins, headers, and tanks, and the transmission cooler is integrated into the radiator assembly for applications that originally used that design.

Part Number 1551 is a practical choice for Lincoln Mark VIII, Ford Thunderbird, and Mercury Cougar owners looking for a radiator that matches factory cooling layout while incorporating design updates aimed at durability. This part cross-references Spectra Premium CU1551 and APDI 8011447 for the same application.

Common Cooling Problems This Radiator Can Address

• Overheating caused by a restricted or aging radiator core
• Coolant leaks from cracked tanks, seams, or worn sealing surfaces
• Transmission fluid temperature concerns tied to a failing internal cooler
• Reduced cooling efficiency from corroded or damaged internal passages
• Poor fitment or mounting issues from a non-OE-style replacement

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify radiator dimensions, inlet and outlet locations, and transmission cooler line routing before installation. This unit is designed as a drop-in replacement for listed applications, and all necessary fittings or hardware are included in each unit. Flush the cooling system, inspect hoses and clamps, and confirm the cooling fan, thermostat, and pressure cap condition before returning the vehicle to service.

Quality Assurance

OSC tests the transmission and engine oil coolers before they are installed into the tank, checks the radiator core prior to assembly, and tests the completed unit again after assembly. The radiator is individually pressure tested and built to meet OE-style cooler design requirements where originally equipped.
