Detailed Description

One Stop Solutions 1831 is a replacement radiator engineered for OE-style fit, function, and cooling performance. The radiator uses premium-grade aluminum tubes and fins, plastic tanks, and a die-cut gasket design to help maintain a secure seal. It is built with a 2-row core and a plated transmission oil cooler, and the unit is tested during production to verify the core and cooler assemblies before final assembly and again after completion. This radiator is a direct-fit solution for Ford F-150 and Ford F-250 trucks from 1997-1998, making it a practical choice when replacing a leaking, restricted, or heat-stressed factory radiator. The 1831 part number is also referenced by APDI 8011831, Dorman - HELP 56035, Koyorad A1831, and Spectra Premium CU2165 for the same application.

Common Problems This Radiator Addresses

• Coolant leaks from a cracked or aging radiator tank
• Overheating caused by reduced heat transfer through a worn core
• Transmission temperature concerns related to a failing cooler circuit
• Restricted coolant flow from internal corrosion or debris buildup
• Fitment issues after replacing a damaged factory radiator

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify core dimensions, inlet and outlet size, and cooler line spacing before installation. Transfer any vehicle-specific components required by the application and inspect hoses, clamps, and mounting points for wear before installing the new radiator. Confirm that the cooling system is properly flushed and filled after installation, and check for leaks once the engine reaches operating temperature.

Quality Assurance

OSC designs this radiator to OE form and function and uses engineering updates aimed at improving durability and service life. Each unit is pressure tested during production, with cooler and core testing performed before and after assembly to help confirm sealing and performance.
