28.25 Core Dual-Fan LS LT Radiator for 88-95 C/K Trucks & SUVs

A spacious 28.25 inch aluminum core delivers rapid heat rejection for LS and LT swaps in 1988-1995 Chevy C/K GMT400 trucks and SUVs, maintaining stable engine temps during hard pulls, hot weather cruising and stop and go traffic. Dual fans boost airflow at low speeds while TIG welded tanks provide corrosion resistant strength and a precise direct fit for reliable performance backed by USA construction.

1988-1995 Chevy C/K Series & SUVs LS and LT Radiator with Fans

If you are installing an LS or LT motor into a 1988-1995 Chevy C/K Series truck or SUV this 28.25 inch core radiator with fans addresses overheating when towing heavy loads and crawling through traffic. Designed for manual transmission models it drops into factory mounting points with no frame modifications or custom brackets required. The dual electric fans switch on as coolant temperature climbs ensuring constant airflow even at idle. Constructed from full aluminum with precision TIG welds the assembly provides reliable thermal management and corrosion resistance.

Robust Aluminum Core with Precision TIG Welds

The radiator is crafted from high quality aluminum for both tanks and the core, delivering superb heat conduction while minimizing weight. Precision TIG welding creates uniform, smooth seams at every tank-to-core junction, providing dependable leak resistance under varying pressures. This technique also enhances fatigue strength, ensuring the assembly endures vibration and thermal expansion cycles common in towing and off-road use. By combining a lightweight structure with secure welds, the design sustains reliable operation during extended heavy-load conditions and hot weather driving.

Oversized 28.25 Inch Core for Accelerated Heat Rejection

With its extra wide 28.25 inch core, this radiator increases the surface area available for heat exchange, enabling coolant to release heat to ambient air more swiftly. The broader fin stack and thicker coolant passages excel at preventing temperature spikes when towing trailers or climbing steep grades. Maintaining stable engine temperatures under sustained load guards seals and gaskets from excessive thermal stress, while also reducing the risk of warp or hotspot formation. This enhanced cooling capacity proves critical during slow traffic, long highway runs, and demanding hauling scenarios.

Dual Electric Fans Ensuring Constant Airflow

Featuring two high-efficiency electric fans, the assembly enforces continuous airflow through the core even when the vehicle is stationary. Each fan engages automatically once coolant temperature rises, eliminating the drop in ventilation that leads to overheating during idle or stop-and-go traffic. By fastening directly to factory mounting points on manual transmission models, this system avoids frame modifications and custom brackets, streamlining installation. The result is consistent temperature control whether navigating city streets or powering through long highway stretches.

Choice of Bare Aluminum or Protective Epoxy Finish

Installers can choose the raw aluminum look for a clean industrial style or select a black epoxy coating that forms a durable barrier against moisture, road salt, and debris. The epoxy layer undergoes controlled application to ensure even coverage and strong adhesion, effectively preventing surface oxidation. In both finishes, the smooth weld beads remain visible, showcasing build quality while serving as an added seal. This finish flexibility allows the vehicle to retain a factory-inspired appearance with the option for extra corrosion resistance in harsh environments.

Depend on this radiator for consistent cooling performance in demanding conditions; for the same radiator but without fans see our 1988-1995 LS Radiator 28.25" Core Width (Manual Transmission).
