Flex-a-lite introduces its direct-fit Flex-a-fit aluminum radiator and electric fan combination for ’99-’12 full-size GM trucks and SUVs (except with 8.1-liter or diesel engines). This range of vehicles includes:
CADILLAC | CHEVROLET | GMC | HUMMER |
Escalade ESV | Avalanche | Yukon | H2 |
EXT | Suburban | Yukon XL | |
TahoeSilverado C/K 1500/2500/3500 pickup trucks | Sierra C/K 1500/2500/3500 pickup trucks | ||
With an installation time of approximately four hours, you can improve your vehicle’s cooling. Also, by removing the belt-driven fan and fan clutch, you will realize a performance gain and improve gas mileage with this bolt-in aluminum radiator and dual electric fan combination.
The Flex-a-fit radiator is manufactured in the U.S., has greater coolant capacity than the stock radiator, and features a 2-row, all-aluminum core, hand-welded to side tanks with patented “T” channels to dissipate heat more efficiently. Radiator mounting brackets are included for an easy bolt-in installation in the stock location, and the “T” channels also provide secure attachments.
The aluminum radiator is available both with and without a Flex-a-lite dual electric fan system. The dual 15-inch electric fans move up to 6,000 CFM of airflow, and include a Flex-a-lite Variable Speed Controller that starts the fans at 60 percent power and increases fan speed as the temperature rises. It also lets you adjust the temperature at which the fans turn on between approximately 160 and 240 degrees Fahrenheit.
For automatic-transmission trucks and SUVs, an optional transmission cooler kit mounts a Flex-a-lite Translife cooler to the front of the new radiator. This is a direct-fit kit that includes brackets and a cooler for ’99-’12 full-size GM trucks and SUVs. This kit makes it possible to hard-mount the transmission cooler without going through the radiator core.
