Over repeated thermal cycles, expansion-contraction stress degrades the rubber tank-to-core seals, causing coolant weeping along the side tanks. Furthermore, aged Dex-Cool coolant accelerates polymer brittleness on the upper inlet neck, leading to sudden cracks under standard 15-psi operating pressure. A loss of cooling system pressure creates hot-spot cavitation and warps the cylinder heads on the high-output \u003cstrong\u003eLLT\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.6L V6 engine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Engineering Solution\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis replacement unit is engineered to match factory downflow geometry while reinforcing high-stress failure points. It features an aerospace-grade aluminum brazed core with high-density, multi-louvered cooling fins designed to maximize laminar heat dissipation across demanding driving cycles. Heavy-duty composite nylon tanks are mechanically crimped with vulcanized gaskets for leak-free durability. The assembly incorporates an internal downflow transmission oil cooler designed for GM 6T75 automatic transaxles, preventing fluid heat soak. Each radiator undergoes pneumatic decay pressure testing to ensure flawless operation matching OEM part numbers \u003cstrong\u003e15950813\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003e20759654\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1x Downflow Aluminum Core Radiator with Built-In Automatic Transmission Cooler\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"overflow-x: auto; margin-bottom: 20px;\"\u003e\n  \u003ctable width=\"100%\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; font-size: 14px; min-width: 300px;\"\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eFitment\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e2009-2017 Chevrolet Traverse\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eEngine \/ Chassis\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e3.6L LLT V6 \/ GM Lambda\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eStock Output\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e281-288 hp \/ 266-270 lb-ft\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eReplaces OEM Part #\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e13007, CU13007, 41-13007A, 15950813, 20759654\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2009-2017 Chevrolet Traverse 3.6L V6 (FWD and AWD)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDirect interchange with 2007-2017 GM Lambda crossovers (Acadia, Outlook, Enclave) sharing matching core dimensions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions \u0026amp; Fitment Warnings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes this fit the Lambda Traverse?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, this is a direct fit for the 2009-2017 Chevrolet Traverse equipped with the \u003cstrong\u003eLLT\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.6L engine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eDo I need to bleed the system after installation?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, thoroughly burp and bleed air pockets from the cooling circuit using an elevated funnel to prevent localized hot spots and boiling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Chevrolet Reliability Standard\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEngineered to handle sustained highway hauling and high-temperature summer traffic, this direct-fit heat exchanger guarantees the thermal headroom your three-row platform demands.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VelocityMax","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67896235491576,"sku":"DS-EAKLLOBEP","price":115.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/1290\/2648\/files\/radiator-for-chevrolet-traverse-2009-2017-3-6l-1.jpg?v=1793295242","url":"https:\/\/performancechiptuning.com\/de\/products\/radiator-for-chevrolet-traverse-2009-2017-3-6l","provider":"Performance Chip Tuning","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
