1988-1993 Chevy C1500/K1500/Suburban LS and LT Radiator with 34in Core and Fans
When tackling an LS or LT engine swap in a GMT400 C/K Series truck steady coolant temperature under towing load and stop and go traffic is essential. This 1988-1993 LS Radiator 34 inch Core Width with Fans combines a full width aluminum core and dual electric fans calibrated for automatic transmission setups to manage heat during high power operation. Installation aligns with factory mounting points on 1988-1993 Chevy C1500, K1500, and Suburban chassis for a precise fit without additional brackets.
Full Width Aluminum Core Delivers Superior Heat Dissipation
The 34 inch full width aluminum core offers a broad cooling surface that accelerates heat transfer from the coolant to the passing air. Aluminum's high thermal conductivity means the radiator can shed heat faster under towing load or spirited driving, keeping LS and LT engines at optimal temperature. This wide core design minimises the risk of heat soak during hill climbs or trailer duty, contributing to consistent engine performance and extended component life.
Dual Electric Fans Optimized for Automatic Transmission Cooling
Equipped with two high capacity electric fans, the radiator maintains steady airflow even when vehicle speed is low. These fans are tuned for automatic transmission applications to deliver rapid airflow through the core at idle or in heavy traffic. By preventing temperature spikes during stop and go driving, they support reliable coolant temperature control and uninterrupted power delivery under load.
TIG Welded Aluminum Construction for Durability and Leak Resistance
All tank to core joints feature precision TIG welding, producing uniform weld beads that resist fatigue and leaks under constant vibration. The all aluminum assembly combines light weight with strength, eliminating plastic parts that can warp or crack over time. This robust build resists corrosion and simplifies maintenance, giving swap installers a quality USA made component that stands up to demanding conditions.
Factory Mounting Alignment Simplifies Installation
Designed to match the original mounting points on 1988 to 1993 Chevy C1500, K1500 and Suburban GMT400 chassis, the radiator drops into place without custom brackets. This plug and play fit reduces installation time and avoids frame modifications, letting technicians focus on plumbing and wiring. Simplified alignment means engine cooling integrates precisely with the truck's existing support structure for a seamless swap.
