Spectra 2001-1754P Radiator

Spectra 2001-1754P Heavy Duty Radiator

The Spectra 2001-1754P radiator is built for heavy-duty cooling performance with an aluminum core, plastic tanks, and an integrated transmission oil cooler. It is engineered to meet or exceed original equipment performance for applications that require dependable engine temperature control and transmission fluid cooling.

Key Features

• Aluminum core with plastic tank construction
• Downflow radiator design for OE-style cooling layout
• Integrated plated transmission oil cooler on the engine side
• 2-row core design for efficient heat transfer
• Upper right inlet and lower left outlet configuration
• Mounting hardware included
• Pin attachment method
• Inlet and outlet diameter: 2.5 in. (64 mm)

Detailed Description

Built for demanding cooling systems, the Spectra 2001-1754P radiator uses a 42.125 in. core height, 41.25 in. core width, and 2.1875 in. core thickness to support consistent thermal management. The plated transmission cooler is mounted on the engine side and uses a 12 in. fitting distance, making this unit a practical OE-style replacement for vehicles that rely on combined engine and transmission cooling. This radiator is a strong match for heavy-duty radiator replacement needs where fit, flow orientation, and cooler integration matter. It is also a relevant option for owners searching for a radiator for Freightliner and similar heavy-duty truck applications, including the Spectra 2001-1754P part number.

This part cross-references 3A0573340003 and FRE96 for the same application.

What This Radiator Helps Address

• Overheating caused by a worn or restricted radiator core
• Transmission temperature rise from a failing integrated cooler
• Coolant leaks from aging plastic tank and core assemblies
• Reduced heat rejection in heavy-duty cooling systems
• Poor fitment from non-matching inlet, outlet, or mounting layouts

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify inlet and outlet placement, cooler fitting spacing, and mounting style before installation. The Spectra 2001-1754P uses an upper right inlet, lower left outlet, and pin attachment method, so alignment with the original radiator is important. Confirm hose diameter, transmission cooler line connections, and available clearance around the engine side cooler before final assembly. This radiator is commonly searched as a replacement radiator for Freightliner heavy-duty cooling systems, and the part number 2001-1754P should be matched against the original unit before installation.

Quality Assurance

Spectra Premium states that its heavy-duty radiators are manufactured with engineering, production, and quality control processes intended to meet or exceed original equipment performance. The 2001-1754P follows that OE-style approach with integrated cooling components and application-specific construction.
