Spectra 2001-1762P Radiator

Heavy Duty Radiator Replacement

The Spectra 2001-1762P radiator is a heavy duty cooling system replacement built for applications that need dependable engine temperature control and integrated transmission cooling. It uses an aluminum core with plastic tanks and a downflow design to match OE-style cooling layouts.

Compatible With select vehicle applications that use a 41.625 in. core width, 35.75 in. core height, and 2.1875 in. core thickness, this radiator is built for direct replacement service where the original unit uses upper-right inlet and lower-left outlet connections.

Key Features

• Aluminum core with plastic tanks for OE-style construction
• Downflow flow orientation
• Transmission oil cooler included with plated cooler design
• 2-row core configuration
• 2.5 in. inlet and 2.5 in. outlet diameters
• Mounting hardware included
• Engine-side transmission oil cooler location
• Pin attachment method

Detailed Description

Spectra Premium engineered the 2001-1762P to meet or exceed the performance of the original equipment radiator it replaces. The radiator includes an integrated transmission oil cooler, making it a practical choice for vehicles that rely on combined engine cooling and automatic transmission fluid temperature management. The core dimensions, inlet and outlet placement, and downflow layout support OE-style replacement on the correct application.

This part cross-references OE-style numbers such as 8946A and 238692 for the same application. For buyers searching by vehicle, this radiator is a relevant replacement for select Freightliner and related heavy-duty applications where the original cooling module uses the same configuration. Search terms such as Freightliner radiator replacement, heavy duty downflow radiator, and Spectra 2001-1762P radiator help identify the correct part faster.

What This Radiator Helps Address

• Overheating caused by a worn or leaking radiator
• Transmission fluid temperature issues tied to a failing cooler circuit
• Coolant loss from cracked tanks or damaged core tubes
• Poor heat transfer from an aging OE radiator
• Fitment problems when replacing a radiator with the same inlet, outlet, and mounting layout

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify core dimensions, inlet and outlet location, and transmission cooler routing before installation. This radiator uses a pin attachment method and includes mounting hardware, so confirm the vehicle’s original mounting style and connection points match the replacement unit. Inspect hoses, clamps, and cooler lines during installation to help prevent repeat leaks. For vehicle-specific searches, confirm the application against the original radiator on your Freightliner or related heavy-duty model before ordering the Spectra 2001-1762P.

Quality Assurance

Spectra Premium states that its heavy duty radiators are manufactured with engineering, production, and quality control processes intended to meet or exceed OE performance for the radiator assembly and related cooling components.
