Spectra CU847 Radiator

Spectra CU847 Radiator for Ford E-Series

The Spectra CU847 radiator is a direct-fit cooling replacement for select Ford E-Series vans and club wagons from 1975-1991. Built to meet the durability expectations of an OE-style radiator, it is a practical choice for restoring cooling performance on high-mileage Ford E-250 Econoline, E-350 Econoline, and E-100 Econoline applications.

Key Features

• OE-style radiator construction for select Ford E-Series applications
• Fits vehicles that originally used a 4-row core replacement setup
• Designed for models without a sensor
• Radiator cap is required
• Part number CU847 for catalog and fitment lookup

Detailed Description

The Spectra Premium CU847 radiator is engineered for Ford E-250 Econoline, Ford E-350 Econoline, Ford E-350 Econoline Club Wagon, and Ford E-100 Econoline coverage across the 1975-1991 model years. It follows the durability expectations of original equipment cooling components, making it a straightforward replacement when the factory radiator is worn, leaking, or no longer maintaining proper operating temperature. This part cross-references CSF 2278 for the same application.

Use CU847 when you need a radiator for Ford E-Series vans that matches the original application requirements, including the note for 4-row core replacement vehicles and no-sensor configurations. The Spectra CU847 is a focused solution for restoring coolant flow and heat transfer in older Ford van platforms.

What It Helps Solve

• Coolant leaks from a deteriorated radiator core or tank
• Overheating caused by reduced heat dissipation
• Temperature instability in aging Ford E-Series cooling systems
• Replacement needs after corrosion or internal blockage
• Fitment issues when replacing the original 4-row core radiator

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s original radiator configuration before installation. This radiator is listed for no-sensor applications and requires a radiator cap. Confirm hose routing, mounting points, and cooling system condition before filling and bleeding the system. For best results, inspect related components such as hoses, clamps, thermostat, and fan operation during radiator replacement.

Quality Assurance

Spectra Premium radiators are built to meet OE-level durability expectations for the listed Ford E-250 Econoline, Ford E-350 Econoline, Ford E-350 Econoline Club Wagon, and Ford E-100 Econoline applications. Part number CU847 is supported by catalog interchange references for fitment verification.
