TYC Radiator Product Line Details
The TYC Radiator line focuses on delivering quality cooling components engineered to meet or exceed OEM specifications. This radiator model 1985 is part of that line, offering a balance of durability and performance tailored for the Toyota Tacoma. The aluminum core and precise fin count contribute to effective heat exchange, supporting engine longevity and consistent operation.
Technical Description and Features
This radiator features a downflow flow configuration, which directs coolant downward through the core, optimizing heat dissipation. The aluminum core material enhances thermal conductivity while reducing weight compared to traditional copper cores. With 64 fins every 4 inches and a fin wave height of 0.31 inches, the design maximizes airflow and cooling efficiency. The radiator includes a single row of tubes, each measuring 22 by 2 inches, arranged to provide uniform coolant distribution. Both inlet and outlet connections use hose clamps with a 1.34-inch diameter, ensuring secure and leak-resistant hose attachment. The top and bottom headers measure 2.2 by 25.93 inches, providing structural support and coolant flow management.
Compatible Applications and Common Issues Addressed
- Replacement for damaged or leaking radiators in Toyota Tacoma vehicles
- Resolves engine overheating caused by inefficient cooling systems
