Detailed Features of the TYC Radiator 2962

This TYC Radiator 2962 features a crossflow flow configuration that optimizes coolant flow across the core, enhancing heat exchange efficiency. The aluminum core measures 25.12 inches in height, 22.87 inches in length, and 1.02 inches in thickness, providing a robust cooling surface. The radiator includes a concentric transmission oil cooler, allowing it to manage transmission fluid temperature without the need for a separate cooler. Both the inlet and outlet connections use hose clamps with a 1.38-inch diameter, ensuring secure and compatible hose attachment. The radiator’s fin count of 78 every 4 inches and a total of 64 fin rows contribute to effective heat dissipation, while the 63 tubes arranged in a single row support consistent coolant flow.
