LS LT Radiator Upgrade for 1988-95 C/K Trucks and SUVs

Large 28.25-inch aluminum core delivers rapid heat rejection and steady temperatures under hard acceleration and hot weather for Chevy C/K Series trucks and SUVs from 1988 through 1995. 100% TIG welded tanks and core provide corrosion resistance and lightweight durability, and the radiator installs directly into factory mounts for a precise fit, effortless installation and long service life.

LS and LT Radiator for 1988-1995 C/K Series Chevy/GMC Trucks and SUVs

When installing an LS or LT engine into a 1988-1995 C/K Series Chevy or GMC truck and SUV, keeping coolant temperatures in check is crucial and the 1988-1995 LS Radiator 28.25" Core Width (Auto Trans) is engineered to meet that need. It sports a 28.25 inch core for rapid heat dispersion and drops directly into factory mounts for the automatic transmission models. Constructed from TIG welded aluminum and assembled in the USA, this radiator stands up to daily driving and towing while preserving vital engine components. With fitment covering C1500, K1500, Tahoe, Suburban and Yukon, it delivers reliable cooling for any LS or LT swap project.

Precision TIG Welding in High Grade Aluminum Radiators

By employing TIG welding for both the core and tanks, this radiator achieves superior joint integrity and a uniform weld bead. TIG welding delivers low heat distortion, preserving tight tolerances that ensure leak free operation under high coolant pressure. The result is a robust assembly that stands up to daily driving demands and towing loads without cracking or warping. Built in the USA from premium aluminum, each weld is inspected for consistency before leaving the facility.

28.25 Inch Core Maximizes Cooling Efficiency

The expansive 28.25 inch core offers a large surface area to accelerate heat transfer from coolant to air. This design maintains stable engine temperatures during hot weather driving and under heavy acceleration, reducing the risk of overheating. Enhanced coolant flow through the wide core passages also lowers fluid resistance, improving overall thermal performance. Drivers will notice tighter coolant temp control when hauling or navigating steep grades.

Bare Aluminum and Black Epoxy Coatings for Protection and Style

Choose between a classic bare aluminum finish or a black epoxy coat to suit your engine bay aesthetic. The raw aluminum option brings inherent corrosion resistance and a weight saving advantage, while the black epoxy layer adds a durable barrier against oxidation and grime. Both finishes retain excellent thermal conductivity to ensure that heat rejection is never compromised. Each radiator is finished with care to provide a bright look that stands up to road debris and chemical exposure.

Drop In Design for Seamless Fit on C K Series Trucks

Specifically engineered to mate with automatic transmission mounts on 1988 through 1995 Chevy and GMC C K Series pickups and SUVs, this radiator requires no cutting or filler panels. Its mounting pads and inlet outlet positions match the factory layout exactly, providing a straight forward installation process. This direct fit design saves time and preserves the integrity of the vehicle frame rails. Whether you are swapping in an LS or LT engine, you can trust that coolant routing will be precise for optimum performance.

Count on consistent temperature management in any LS or LT application. For the same radiator but with fans, consider our 1988-1995 LS Radiator 28.25" Core Width (Automatic Transmission) with Fans.
