1988-1995 Chevy C/K Series LS LT Radiator with Dual Fans

Built around a massive 28.25-inch extra wide aluminum core, this radiator offers superior heat rejection for LS and LT swaps in C/K Series GMT400 OBS trucks. Dual fans deliver consistent airflow while 100% TIG welded aluminum tanks and core provide lightweight durability and corrosion resistance for reliable long term operation under load. Made in the USA and engineered for a direct fit, it keeps temperatures steady during hot weather cruising, stop and go traffic, and hard pulls.

LS and LT Radiator for 1988-1995 Chevy C/K1500, Tahoe, Suburban, GMC Yukon

When fitting an LS or LT engine into a 1988-1995 Chevrolet C/K1500, Tahoe, Suburban or GMC Yukon, controlling under hood temperatures becomes crucial and the 1988-1995 LS Radiator 28.25" Core Width (Manual Trans) with Fans was engineered to excel in that role. Offered with a full aluminum core and dual electric fans, it maintains stable coolant flow during demanding drives or towing chores. Assembly requires no frame cutting or custom mounts on manual transmission setups. The radiator's generous 28.25 inch core area ensures consistent heat rejection even under sustained load.

Oversized 28.25 Inch Core for Maximized Heat Rejection

The extra wide 28.25 inch core dramatically increases coolant contact area, allowing heat to move away from the engine more rapidly. Under hard pulls or during high ambient temperatures, the larger surface area prevents heat buildup and maintains consistent operating temperatures. This design helps protect internal components from thermal stress, extending the life of gaskets, seals, and coolant passages. By prioritizing rapid heat transfer, the radiator supports sustained heavy towing or spirited driving without risking overheating.

Dual Electric Fans Ensure Consistent Airflow

With two high performance electric fans installed, airflow through the core remains strong even in stop and go traffic. These fans automatically ramp up speed when temperatures climb, guaranteeing that air continues to circulate when vehicle speed alone is not sufficient. Consistent airflow is critical for keeping coolant temperatures stable at idle or during prolonged low speed operation. The result is a more reliable engine under urban driving, track sessions, and highway cruising alike.

Precision TIG Welding in Aluminum Tanks and Core

Every tank and core joint is fused using TIG welding, a process known for creating smooth, uniform weld beads that resist cracking and leakage. Combined with high quality aluminum, this construction method yields a lightweight assembly that stands up to vibration and thermal cycling. Aluminum's natural resistance to corrosion further contributes to long term reliability without adding unnecessary weight. The precision welds also ensure that coolant passages remain fully sealed under high pressure and temperature swings.

Finish Options for Corrosion Protection

Choose the raw aluminum finish to highlight a modern industrial look or opt for the black epoxy coating for enhanced environmental resistance. The epoxy layer forms a barrier against road salt, moisture, and debris, reducing the risk of pitting and surface oxidation. Both finishes are applied in controlled conditions to ensure uniform coverage and adhesion. This flexibility lets builders match their aesthetic goals while securing dependable protection for years of service.

Trust this radiator to maintain stable coolant temperatures under all conditions. For the same radiator but without fans see our 1988-1995 LS Radiator 28.25" Core Width (Manual Transmission).
