LS and LT Swap Radiator for 1988-1995 Chevy C1500, K1500, Tahoe, Suburban, GMC Yukon
If you're tackling an LS or LT powerplant in a 1988-1995 Chevy C1500, K1500, Tahoe, Suburban or GMC Yukon this radiator provides the cooling capacity needed for demanding street or light track duties. Featuring a 28.25 inch core width and dual high-performance fans it moves more air through the engine bay to maintain steady temperatures under load. Installation fits automatic transmission applications in the C/K series chassis without modification to factory mounting points. Crafted from TIG welded aluminum it offers corrosion resistance and reduced weight compared with original equipment radiators.
Oversized 28.25 Inch Core Design for Enhanced Cooling Efficiency
The extra wide core greatly increases the surface area exposed to coolant, allowing heat to transfer more rapidly from engine to radiator fins. Under hard acceleration or sustained towing, this design prevents temperature spikes by maximizing the coolant flow path length. It helps LS and LT engine swaps maintain stable operating temperatures during demanding street or track use. With more core volume than stock radiators, it reduces the risk of heat soak and keeps coolant within the optimal range for sustained performance.
TIG Welded Premium Aluminum Construction for Lasting Reliability
Every joint of the radiator is fused with TIG welding, a process known for creating precise and leak resistant bonds that stand up to engine vibration and thermal cycling. The use of high quality aluminum provides exceptional corrosion resistance and a noticeable weight savings compared with traditional units. Built in the USA under strict quality controls, this radiator delivers consistent durability and service life even in aggressive driving conditions. Its sturdy build also resists road debris impact, ensuring long term reliability.
Dual Fan System for Steady Airflow and Temperature Control
A pair of integrated electric fans work together to maintain uniform airflow across the entire core, keeping engine temperatures in check during idle or low speed traffic conditions. Each fan engages based on precise temperature thresholds, enabling rapid heat removal the moment coolant begins to rise. This arrangement outperforms single fan setups by covering more surface area and responding with greater speed to sudden load changes. As a result, the system guarantees consistent cooling on highway runs or during stop and go driving.
Direct Fit for 1988 to 1995 GM C/K Truck and SUV Applications
This radiator is engineered to install into factory mounting points on 1988 to 1995 Chevy C1500, K1500, Tahoe, Suburban and GMC Yukon models without any modification. The inlet and outlet locations match the stock automatic transmission layout, so existing hoses and brackets align perfectly. Whether you are performing a fresh LS engine swap or upgrading an older cooling system, this design simplifies installation and reduces workshop time. The end tanks and mounting rails integrate seamlessly with the chassis to deliver a clean under hood presentation.
