Product Details
TYC Radiator 2138 is built for Ford Mustang cooling system service where a replacement radiator must match the vehicle’s factory-style layout. The aluminum core, crossflow configuration, and integrated transmission oil cooler support heat management for both engine coolant and automatic transmission fluid.

This part cross-references Spectra Premium CU2138 and Ford 1R3Z 8005 CA for the same application.
Common Problems This Radiator Can Address
- Coolant leaks from a damaged or corroded radiator
- Overheating caused by restricted or inefficient heat exchange
- Transmission fluid temperature concerns tied to a failing cooler circuit
- Cracked inlet or outlet necks affecting hose sealing
- Reduced cooling performance from worn internal tubes or fins
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify core dimensions, inlet and outlet sizes, and transmission cooler fitting style before installation. Inspect radiator hoses, clamps, and transmission cooler lines for wear, and flush the cooling system if contamination is present. For 1997-2004 Ford Mustang applications, confirm that the radiator matches the vehicle’s factory mounting and line routing before final assembly.
Quality Assurance
TYC Radiator 2138 is built as an OE-style replacement radiator for the Ford Mustang cooling system. Its aluminum construction and integrated transmission oil cooler support consistent thermal control in the intended application.
