Detailed Product Description

The Spectra 2001-1738P radiator features a 2-row aluminum core measuring 35.75 inches in height, 37.75 inches in width, and 2.1875 inches thick, providing effective heat exchange to maintain optimal engine temperatures. The plastic tanks reduce weight while maintaining structural integrity. This radiator incorporates a plated transmission oil cooler with five plates, spaced 12 inches apart between fittings, located on the fan side to ensure proper transmission fluid cooling. The downflow flow orientation, with an upper right inlet and lower left outlet both sized at 2.5 inches, supports efficient coolant circulation. This radiator is designed for compatibility with specific vehicle makes and models requiring these dimensions and features.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replaces damaged or leaking radiators in vehicles requiring a 35.75 x 37.75 inch core
• Addresses overheating issues caused by inefficient or clogged radiators
• Restores transmission cooling functionality with integrated oil cooler
• Improves coolant flow and heat dissipation in vehicles with downflow radiator design
• Resolves coolant leaks from plastic tanks or corroded aluminum cores

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure compatibility with your vehicle’s radiator core dimensions and flow orientation before installation. The included mounting hardware kit contains bolts, u-clips, nuts, and grommets to facilitate secure attachment. Verify the inlet and outlet locations (upper right and lower left) match your vehicle’s hose connections. Properly bleed the cooling system after installation to prevent air pockets and ensure optimal performance.
