Detailed Description
OSC part number 2018 is a replacement radiator designed around original equipment form and function for Ford Explorer and Mercury Mountaineer cooling systems. The radiator uses premium-grade aluminum construction with cadmium-plated tubes inside and out to help resist premature failure, while the die-cut gasket design supports leak resistance. Factory-style fitment is maintained with fitted and torqued components, and the unit is engineered for multi-fit applications without changing the look or installation profile. This radiator also includes a plated transmission oil cooler and is built to meet OE cooler design requirements where originally equipped.
This part cross-references Spectra Premium CU2174 for the same application.
Common Replacement Reasons
- Overheating caused by a restricted or failing radiator core
- Transmission fluid temperature issues related to a worn cooler circuit
- Coolant leaks from cracked tanks, seams, or aged seals
- Reduced cooling efficiency in high-mileage Ford Explorer or Mercury Mountaineer vehicles
- Fitment problems after a previous repair or non-OE-style replacement
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify inlet and outlet hose sizes, cooler line routing, and mounting points before installation. Flush the cooling system and inspect hoses, clamps, and the radiator cap condition if the vehicle uses one separately. Confirm that the transmission cooler connections are clean and properly aligned before tightening lines. Part number 2018 is a direct-fit style replacement for the listed Ford Explorer and Mercury Mountaineer applications.
Quality Assurance
OSC tests complete radiators up to three times during production: the transmission and engine oil coolers are checked before tank installation, the core is tested before assembly, and the finished unit is tested again after assembly. This process supports consistent sealing, cooler integrity, and OE-style performance for 1997-1999 Ford Explorer and 1998-1999 Mercury Mountaineer vehicles.
