Carquest Premium radiators are designed and engineered for maximum performance, using the highest-grade materials to ensure all radiators meet or exceed original equipment (O.E.) fit, form and function. Carquest Premium radiators are built by manufacturers that meet IATF 16949 certified framework, an internationally recognized proof of quality in the automotive industry. Most modern vehicles use radiators with plastic tanks and our parts are engineered with integrated ribbing to prevent damage during thermal cycling. Carquest Premium radiators are also 100% tested to ensure a durable, leak-free cooling system repair.

Product Features:

• Thermal tested under real-life temperature simulations
• High tensile strength aluminum for maximum crimp strength
• Plastic tanks are engineeredáwith integrated ribbingáfor addedástrength to withstand cracks, bowing and distortion during thermal cycles
• Thermal expansion slots extend core life and reduce failure rates by allowing improved core expansion and contraction during systematic heat cycles

Plastic Tank / Aluminum Core Radiator The Nissens Radiator flat tube and double folded fin design offers a significantly better cooling capacity and provides a stronger exterior resisting impacts from stones. This advanced design helps to prevent damage which would negatively affect the cooling capacity and engine performance.

Product Features:

• OE-Equivalent.
• Direct fit for easy installation.
• OE Style mounting brackets and hose connections.
• Integrated transmission oil cooler when applicable.
• Compact and lightweight.
