Detailed Description

TYC Radiator 2452 is engineered for 2001-2003 Toyota Highlander applications without the tow package. It uses an aluminum core with a single-row layout, 73 fins per 4 inches, and a downflow configuration to support coolant circulation through the radiator assembly. The integrated concentric transmission oil cooler adds fluid cooling in the same unit, while the hose clamp inlet and outlet connections simplify matching the original plumbing layout.

This part cross-references Spectra Premium CU2452 for the same application. The TYC Radiator line focuses on replacement radiators built around OE-style fitment and core sizing, making it a practical choice when replacing a leaking, clogged, or damaged radiator on a Toyota Highlander.

What It Helps Address

  • Coolant leaks from a cracked or corroded radiator
  • Overheating caused by restricted coolant flow
  • Transmission fluid temperature control through the built-in cooler
  • Reduced cooling performance from damaged fins or tubes
  • Fitment issues when replacing the original Toyota Highlander radiator

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify vehicle fitment before installation: this radiator fits 2001-2003 Toyota Highlander models without the tow package. Confirm inlet and outlet hose diameter, transmission cooler line connection type, and overall core dimensions against the original unit before removal. Inspect hoses, clamps, and coolant condition during replacement, and flush the cooling system if contamination or debris is present.
