TYC Radiator Product Line Details

The TYC Radiator product line focuses on delivering quality cooling components that meet or exceed OEM specifications. Radiators in this line feature robust aluminum cores and integrated transmission oil coolers where applicable, designed to maintain optimal engine and transmission temperatures. The TYC Radiator 2438 exemplifies this approach by combining a downflow core with a concentric oil cooler to support vehicle cooling system efficiency.

Technical Specifications and Features

This radiator features a 2.01 by 29.13 inch top and bottom header, supporting a sturdy frame for the core assembly. The core itself measures 28.27 inches in height, 13.78 inches in length, and 1.02 inches in thickness, with a fin count of 64 every 4 inches and a fin wave height of 0.31 inches. The flow configuration is downflow, which directs coolant downward through the core for effective heat exchange. The transmission oil cooler uses tube fittings with 0.31-inch inlet and outlet diameters, ensuring proper fluid flow and cooling. Both inlet and outlet connections for the radiator are hose clamp types with a 1.38-inch diameter, facilitating straightforward installation.

Applications and Problem Solving

• Replaces faulty or leaking radiators in Chrysler Sebring, Dodge Stratus, and Mitsubishi Eclipse vehicles
• Addresses overheating issues caused by inefficient heat dissipation
• Resolves transmission fluid overheating with the integrated concentric oil cooler
• Improves cooling system reliability in vehicles with downflow radiator configurations
• Supports engine temperature regulation to prevent performance loss or damage

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure compatibility with your vehicle’s make and model before installation. The hose clamp inlet and outlet connections require proper hose fitting and secure clamping to prevent leaks. When replacing the radiator, inspect all hoses and clamps for wear and replace as necessary. The downflow design requires correct orientation during installation to maintain proper coolant flow. The integrated transmission oil cooler connections use tube fittings; verify secure attachment to avoid fluid leaks.
