Detailed Description

OSC engineered this radiator to match OE cooler design where originally equipped, with attention to fit, function, and durability. The radiator uses cadmium-plated tubes inside and out to help reduce premature failure, and the components are fitted and torqued to factory specifications. Enhanced cooling features such as added fins per inch and a thicker core help address heat load in higher-mileage Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana vans.

Part Number 2044 is built for direct replacement service on Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana models listed above, including applications noted with enhanced cooling and transmission cooler requirements. The design supports a clean drop-in installation while maintaining the original look and mounting profile.

Common Problems This Radiator Can Address

• Coolant leaks from a worn or damaged radiator tank or core
• Overheating caused by reduced heat transfer efficiency
• Transmission fluid temperature concerns in vehicles with an integrated cooler
• Corrosion-related radiator failure in high-mileage service
• Poor fit or sealing from an incorrect replacement radiator

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s cooling system configuration before installation, especially the presence of an engine oil cooler or transmission cooler requirements noted in the fitment data. Confirm inlet and outlet sizes, core dimensions, and cooler spacing against the original unit before removal. The radiator is supplied without a cap.

For Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana applications, compare the original radiator layout and cooler style to the replacement unit to ensure the correct OE-style match. Part Number 2044 is designed for straightforward replacement in the listed model years and configurations.

Quality Assurance

OSC tests the transmission and engine oil coolers before tank installation, tests the radiator core before assembly, and tests the completed unit again after assembly. Each radiator is individually pressure tested to help verify sealing and performance before it leaves production.
