34-Inch Core Radiator for 1988-1993 Chevy C1500/K1500/Suburban LS and LT Swaps
When you’re fitting a robust LS or LT powerplant into a Chevy C1500, K1500 or Suburban with a manual transmission, maintaining reliable cooling becomes your top priority. This 34 inch core radiator with dual fans is engineered with a full width aluminum core and precision TIG welds to deliver consistent temperature control under towing loads and track use. Featuring matched fan assembly and reinforced inlet and outlet fittings, it ensures uniform coolant circulation and resists heat soak in stop and go traffic.
Advanced 34 Inch Aluminum Core for Enhanced Thermal Management
The expansive 34 inch aluminum core dramatically increases coolant volume and surface area, allowing heat generated by LS and LT engines to dissipate quickly. Extruded channels within the core ensure uniform coolant flow, reducing hotspots that can lead to thermal spikes during towing or spirited driving. By maximizing contact between coolant and fin surfaces, this design maintains stable engine temperatures even under heavy duty use, extending component life and preserving peak performance.
Optimized Dual Fan System for Consistent Airflow
Equipped with two high-flow fans, the radiator delivers continuous airflow through the core during idle and slow moving traffic, preventing heat soak common with manual transmission setups. The matched fan assembly reacts instantly to temperature signals, providing precise cooling exactly when needed. This active approach keeps coolant temperatures in the ideal range whether you're navigating city streets or pushing the limits on the track.
Precision TIG Welding Ensuring Leak Free Construction
Every tank and joint on this radiator is crafted with 100% TIG welding, a process known for its precise fusion and extremely low porosity. These welds form a robust, leak free bond that endures vibration and pressure fluctuations typical of high output engine swaps. Combined with high quality aluminum, the radiator resists cracking or separation, delivering reliable performance through daily driving and demanding applications.
Custom Coating Options for Corrosion Protection and Style
Choose the natural bare aluminum finish to maximize heat transfer or opt for a black epoxy coating to guard against moisture, road salt, and debris. The epoxy is baked on to create a long lasting barrier, helping to prevent corrosion and maintain a fresh appearance under the hood. Both finishes preserve the core's strength while offering visual customization to match any engine bay aesthetic.
