1982-2004 Chevy S-10 Radiator with Cooling Fans for Automatic Transmission
Tackling overheating woes in LS or LT swaps, the 1982-2004 S-10 Truck Radiator with Fans (Auto Trans) is built to provide dependable coolant flow for Chevy S-10 restorations and custom projects. Designed for S-Series trucks from 1982 through 2004, it installs without modifications on 4L60E or 4L80E transmissions thanks to automatic transmission compatibility. Featuring TIG welded aluminum core and tanks, this system resists corrosion and manages heat precisely under demanding conditions. With twin electric fans pulling air through the entire core, your engine temperature stays in check during city traffic or towing chores.
Dual Fans Enhancing Cooling Airflow
The pair of high-efficiency electric fans work together to draw air evenly through the entire radiator core, maintaining consistent airflow at idle and in stop-and-go traffic. By operating in tandem, they prevent hot spots and ensure rapid heat rejection even under heavy towing loads. This coordinated fan setup keeps the engine's temperature within the optimal range, reducing the risk of overheating during extended periods of high demand. Precision mounting and clearance accommodate the S-10's front end without sacrificing performance.
TIG Welded Aluminum Core for Durable Performance
Every joint in the radiator's tanks and core is created using TIG welding, delivering precise, contaminant-free bonds that withstand repeated thermal cycles. Aluminum's superior thermal conductivity accelerates heat transfer, while the welds eliminate the need for sealants that can degrade over time. The resulting assembly is both lightweight and exceptionally rigid, standing up to vibration and elevated engine temperatures without warping or leaking. Crafted in the USA, it meets stringent quality standards for long-term reliability.
Finish Choices for Superior Corrosion Protection
Choose between a polished bare aluminum finish that highlights the metal's natural sheen or a black epoxy coating that provides an extra barrier against moisture, road chemicals, and oxidation. The epoxy option extends service life in harsh environments by preventing corrosion, while the bare aluminum finish makes it easy to spot any early signs of wear. Both finishes are applied with precise thickness control to preserve the radiator's thermal performance and visual appeal under the hood.
