Technical Specifications and Features
This radiator features a downflow flow configuration, which directs coolant downward through the core for effective heat exchange. The core consists of a single row of 70 tubes measuring 26 by 2 inches, paired with 73 fins every 4 inches to maximize cooling surface area. Both the top and bottom headers measure 2.01 by 29.13 inches, ensuring structural integrity and proper coolant flow. The integrated concentric transmission oil cooler uses tube fittings with 0.39-inch inlet and outlet diameters, facilitating transmission fluid cooling without the need for a separate cooler.
