Spectra 2001-1760P Radiator

Spectra 2001-1760P Heavy Duty Radiator

The Spectra 2001-1760P is a heavy duty radiator built for demanding cooling-system service. It uses an aluminum core with plastic tanks, a downflow design, and an integrated transmission oil cooler to support stable engine and transmission temperatures.

Compatible With select heavy duty applications, this radiator is built around OE-style dimensions and connection points for straightforward replacement service. It is a practical choice for owners and technicians looking for a direct-fit radiator for truck and commercial cooling repairs.

Key Features

• Aluminum core with plastic tanks for a durable OE-style construction
• Downflow flow orientation with upper right inlet and lower left outlet
• Integrated plated transmission oil cooler located on the engine side
• Core dimensions: 38.75 in. height, 38.5 in. width, 2.1875 in. thickness
• 2-row core design for heavy duty cooling service
• 2.5 in. inlet and 2.5 in. outlet diameters
• Mounting hardware included; attachment method uses pin mounting

Detailed Description

Built by Spectra, part number 2001-1760P is engineered as a replacement radiator for heavy duty cooling systems where consistent heat transfer matters. The aluminum core helps dissipate heat efficiently, while the plastic tank design follows common OE replacement construction. This unit also includes a transmission oil cooler with a plated design and six-plate configuration, making it suitable for vehicles that route transmission fluid through the radiator assembly. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

For buyers searching for a heavy duty radiator replacement, radiator with transmission cooler, or OE-style downflow radiator for truck cooling repair, the Spectra 2001-1760P offers the core dimensions and connection layout needed for service work. It is listed with broad interchange coverage and is commonly searched alongside heavy duty radiator replacement terms for commercial and vocational vehicles.

Common Problems It Can Help Address

• Overheating caused by a failing or restricted radiator core
• Transmission temperature issues related to a damaged cooler circuit
• Coolant leaks from cracked tanks or worn radiator seams
• Reduced cooling efficiency from corroded or clogged internal passages
• Fitment issues when replacing an OE-style downflow radiator assembly

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify core height, width, thickness, inlet and outlet locations, and transmission cooler connection spacing before installation. The inlet is positioned at the upper right and the outlet at the lower left, so hose routing should match the original layout. Confirm that the vehicle uses a pin-style mounting arrangement and that the included hardware matches the existing mounting points. Flush the cooling system, inspect hoses and clamps, and check transmission cooler lines for wear before installing the new radiator.

Quality Assurance

Spectra Premium states that its heavy duty radiators are engineered and manufactured to meet or exceed original equipment performance standards, with quality control applied to the radiator assembly and related components, including engine and transmission cooling functions.
