Detailed Description

The Universal Air Crossflow Radiator line focuses on application-specific cooling replacement for trucks that need a direct-match radiator layout. RA1831C is cataloged for the 1997-1998 Ford F-150 and 1997-1998 Ford F-250, both noted as two-row crossflow radiator applications. If you are replacing a worn or leaking radiator on a Ford F-150 or Ford F-250 from these model years, RA1831C provides a clear fitment reference for the correct cooling-system configuration.

Part number RA1831C is also useful when cross-checking a Ford F-150 radiator replacement or Ford F-250 radiator replacement by application. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Coolant leaks from a damaged radiator core or tank
• Overheating caused by restricted or inefficient heat transfer
• Cooling-system replacement after corrosion or age-related wear
• Fitment issues when replacing a radiator with the wrong row count or layout

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s year, model, and two-row crossflow configuration before ordering. Compare the original radiator dimensions, hose locations, and mounting points to RA1831C before installation. For best results, inspect related cooling components such as hoses, clamps, thermostat, and coolant condition during radiator replacement.
