What This Radiator Helps Address

• Overheating caused by a worn or restricted radiator core
• Coolant leaks from aging tanks, seams, or gasket surfaces
• Reduced cooling efficiency in high-mileage Astro and Safari vans
• Transmission fluid temperature concerns tied to radiator cooler wear
• Engine oil cooler performance loss from internal cooler deterioration

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify core dimensions, inlet and outlet sizes, and cooler line routing before installation. This radiator is a crossflow design and includes both engine and transmission oil cooler provisions, so matching the original cooling configuration is important for proper installation. Inspect hoses, clamps, and cooler lines for wear before transferring the new unit into service.

For best results, flush the cooling system and check for contamination before installing Part Number 1688. Confirm that the radiator mounts, fittings, and hose connections align with the vehicle’s original layout on the 1995 Chevrolet Astro or 1995 GMC Safari.

Quality Assurance

OSC tests the transmission and engine oil coolers before installation, checks the radiator core prior to assembly, and tests the completed unit again after assembly. This multi-stage process supports consistent sealing and cooling performance for Part Number 1688.
