Repeated thermal cycling and operating pressures degrade the plastic, leading to embrittlement, stress cracking at the inlet\/outlet necks, and catastrophic seam separation. Furthermore, the OEM mechanical clutch fan creates parasitic drag on the L31 5.7L V8 and fails to pull sufficient CFM at low idle speeds during heavy load conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Engineering Solution\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConstructed from 100% TIG-welded AA5052 aircraft-grade aluminum, this 3-row crossflow cooling assembly eliminates mechanical crimp failure points via furnace vacuum brazing. The oversized 34-inch wide core increases fluid capacity and surface area, while the aluminum shroud and matched dual 12V electric fans provide continuous, high-CFM airflow across the entire fin density regardless of engine RPM. Features integrated transmission oil and engine oil coolers designed for direct plumb-in reliability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFitment\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e1996-1999 Chevrolet Tahoe (34\" Core Applications)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEngine \/ Chassis\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003eL31 Vortec 5700 5.7L V8 \/ GMT400\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStock Output\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e255 hp \/ 330 lb-ft (Approx)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCore Dimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e33.98\" x 16.85\" x 1.73\" (3-Row)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInlet \/ Outlet\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e1-1\/4\" Inlet \/ 1-4\/7\" Outlet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart Number Interchange\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003eDPI 1520, DPI 1522, DPI 1693, CU1520, CC1520, RADS1520\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1996 Chevrolet Tahoe:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.7L V8 (34\" core width)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1997 Chevrolet Tahoe:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.7L V8 (34\" core width)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1998 Chevrolet Tahoe:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.7L V8 (34\" core width)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1999 Chevrolet Tahoe:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.7L V8 (34\" core width)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Chevrolet Heavy-Duty Standard\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEngineered to handle the demanding thermal loads of continuous towing, payload hauling, and off-road operation, this cooling assembly ensures your Vortec-powered GMT400 maintains stable coolant and transmission fluid temperatures under extreme duty cycles.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VelocityMax","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50460392816888,"sku":"DS-EI2JDXNRQ","price":358.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/1290\/2648\/files\/aluminum-radiator-with-shroud-for-chevrolet-tahoe-1996-1999-5-7l-1.jpg?v=1788821379","url":"https:\/\/performancechiptuning.com\/es\/products\/aluminum-radiator-with-shroud-for-chevrolet-tahoe-1996-1999-5-7l","provider":"Performance Chip Tuning","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
