One Stop Solutions 2196 Radiator

Radiator Overview

This OSC Premium New Automotive Radiator is built to OES form and function for direct replacement service. It is engineered for multi-fit applications while maintaining the look and fit expected from a factory-style cooling component. Part number 2196 is a practical choice for drivers needing a radiator with integrated transmission cooling.

Key Features

• Premium aluminum construction with plastic tanks
• Downflow design with a single-row core
• Concentric transmission oil cooler included
• Cadmium-plated tubes help resist premature failure
• Individually pressure tested during production
• Die-cut gasket helps reduce leak risk

Detailed Description

Part number 2196 is designed for 1995-1999 Dodge Neon, 1995-1999 Plymouth Neon, and 1995-1997 Chrysler Neon applications with air conditioning and condenser mounting tabs on the side rail. The radiator uses premium-grade aluminum construction, plastic tanks, and a downflow layout with a concentric transmission oil cooler. OSC also uses factory-style fitment targets and production testing to help maintain cooling performance and installation consistency. This part cross-references Spectra Premium CU2196 for the same application.

Common Issues Addressed

• Coolant leaks from a damaged or aging radiator
• Reduced cooling efficiency from worn core materials
• Transmission heat management concerns in integrated cooler applications
• Fitment problems caused by a non-OE-style replacement
• Premature failure from corrosion or internal tube wear

Installation Notes

Verify condenser mounting tab style, air conditioning equipment, and cooler line connection points before installation. Part number 2196 includes the necessary fittings or hardware referenced by the manufacturer, and the factory-style design supports a straightforward replacement process. Confirm hose diameter, header dimensions, and transmission cooler layout against the original unit before final assembly.

Quality Assurance

OSC pressure tests each radiator during production and checks the cooler circuits before and after assembly. The design is engineered to meet OES cooler construction where originally equipped, and the radiator is built to factory specifications for fit and function.
