Restore and upgrade cooling performance with this replacement radiator kit for select classic Chevrolet, GMC, Buick, Cadillac, Oldsmobile, and Pontiac applications. Built with a 3-row, 52 mm aluminum core and supplied with a customized radiator cap, electric cooling fan, and thermostat switch, it is designed to replace an aged, leaking, clogged, corroded, or damaged factory radiator while supporting airflow during idling, low-speed driving, warm-weather operation, and classic vehicle use. 

Vehicle Fitment & OE Reference Numbers

OE / Interchange Reference Numbers: CU162, DPI162, CC162, MC162, SRW128.

Before ordering: Compare the OE number, overall dimensions, inlet and outlet positions, mounting points, drain location, fan mounting area, and engine-bay clearance with the original setup.

Product Specifications & Package Includes

Package Includes: 1 × 3-row 52 mm radiator, 1 × customized radiator cap, 1 × electric cooling fan, and 1 × thermostat switch.

Signs Your Radiator Needs Replacement

• The engine runs hotter than normal or overheats during idling, cruising, towing, or warm-weather use.
• Coolant leaks appear around the radiator, seams, hose connections, drain area, or lower corners.
• The coolant level drops repeatedly without an obvious hose leak.
• The original radiator shows corrosion, damaged fins, internal blockage, or weakened seams.
• Airflow is insufficient during idling or low-speed driving.
• The temperature gauge fluctuates during city traffic, spirited driving, or classic vehicle use.

Replacing an aged radiator and improving low-speed airflow can help restore coolant circulation and reduce the risk of repeated overheating.

Key Features & Benefits

3-Row 52 mm Aluminum Core: Provides increased cooling surface area and coolant capacity for compatible classic applications.

Electric Fan & Thermostat Switch: Supports controlled airflow during idling and low-speed operation where natural airflow is limited.

Broad Classic-Vehicle Coverage: Designed around CU162-style mounting and connection locations for multiple compatible GM-platform applications.

Stable Cooling in Demanding Conditions: Helps support engine temperature during cruising, warm weather, traffic, towing, and performance-oriented street use.

Complete Cooling Package: Combines the radiator, customized cap, electric fan, and thermostat switch in one kit.

Installation Notes & 4-Step Guide

Important: Classic vehicles may have modified engines, brackets, pulleys, hoses, or electrical systems. Confirm fan clearance, wiring requirements, and airflow direction before installation. Professional installation is recommended.

1. Drain: Allow the engine to cool completely, remove the radiator cap carefully, and drain the old coolant into a suitable container.
2. Remove: Disconnect the radiator hoses, overflow hose, fan shroud or existing fan components, and factory mounting hardware.
3. Install: Compare the dimensions and connection points, install the new radiator, then mount the electric fan and thermostat switch according to available clearance and the supplied wiring requirements.
4. Refill & Test: Reconnect all hoses, refill with the recommended coolant mixture, bleed trapped air, verify fan operation, and inspect all connections for leaks.

After installation: Inspect hoses, clamps, radiator cap, thermostat, water pump, wiring, fan direction, and fan clearance. Recheck coolant level and all mounting points after the first drive and again after the engine cools.
