Detailed Product Description

The Spectra 2001-1742P radiator features a 2-row aluminum core measuring 33.25 inches in height, 38.875 inches in width, and 1.9375 inches thick, providing effective heat dissipation. The plastic tanks reduce weight while maintaining structural integrity. This radiator incorporates a plated transmission oil cooler with seven plates, positioned on the fan side, with fittings spaced 18 inches apart to ensure proper transmission fluid cooling. The downflow flow orientation optimizes coolant circulation through the core, with the inlet located at the upper right and the outlet at the lower right, both sized at 2 inches in diameter to match OEM specifications.

Applications and Problem Solving

• Replaces worn or leaking radiators in vehicles requiring a 2-row aluminum core radiator with integrated transmission oil cooler
• Addresses engine overheating issues caused by inefficient heat exchange
• Solves transmission fluid overheating by providing dedicated cooling plates
• Prevents coolant leaks and tank failures with durable plastic tank construction
• Restores proper coolant flow and pressure with OEM-style inlet and outlet locations

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure compatibility with your vehicle’s make and model before installation. The radiator includes mounting hardware such as clevis pins, clips, and u-clips to facilitate secure attachment. Verify that the inlet and outlet hose diameters (2 inches) match your vehicle’s hoses. Properly bleed the cooling system after installation to avoid air pockets and ensure optimal performance. The downflow design requires correct orientation during installation to maintain coolant flow direction.

Quality Assurance and Warranty

Manufactured by Spectra, this radiator meets industry standards for materials and construction. The aluminum core and plastic tanks are designed for corrosion resistance and durability. The integrated transmission oil cooler is plated to resist wear and maintain fluid integrity. Warranty coverage details should be confirmed with the distributor or manufacturer to ensure protection against defects.
