Over repeated heat-cycling, the plastic embrittles, causing stress fractures at inlet\/outlet necks and seam blowouts under system pressure. Furthermore, the OEM single-row core lacks sufficient thermal inertia and fluid dwell time, resulting in aggressive coolant heat soak during continuous load on Magnum V6 and V8 powertrains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Engineering Solution: All-Aluminum TIG-Welded Crossflow Architecture\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis high-performance crossflow unit features a robust 3-row tube core vacuum-brazed to 100% TIG-welded aluminum end tanks, completely eliminating epoxy and brittle plastic fail points. Constructed with a 22.5 in x 22 in core, 3\/8-inch tube spacing, and high-density 14–16 fins per inch (FPI), it dramatically increases surface contact area for superior thermal transfer. An integrated 14-3\/8-inch internal transmission oil cooler (TOC) ensures regulated automatic gearbox temperatures under heavy-duty cycling.\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;\"\u003e1997-1999 Dodge Dakota\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;\"\u003eChrysler Magnum (3.9L, 5.2L, 5.9L) \/ AN Platform\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;\"\u003e175-250 hp \/ 225-345 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;\"\u003e22.5\" W x 22\" H (3-Row Crossflow)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Dimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e31.5\" W x 24.75\" H\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInlet \/ Outlet\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e1.5\" Driver Side \/ 1.75\" Passenger Side\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTransmission Oil Cooler\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003eBuilt-in (14-3\/8 in)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart Number\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003eN\/A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1997 Dodge Dakota 3.9L V6 Automatic\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1997 Dodge Dakota 5.2L V8 Automatic\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1998 Dodge Dakota 3.9L V6 Automatic\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1998 Dodge Dakota 5.2L V8 Automatic\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1998 Dodge Dakota 5.9L V8 Automatic\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1999 Dodge Dakota 3.9L V6 Automatic\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1999 Dodge Dakota 5.2L V8 Automatic\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1999 Dodge Dakota 5.9L V8 Automatic\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitment Note:\u003c\/strong\u003e Does not fit 2000-2004 Dakota 3.7L \/ 4.7L models (different core design).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Dodge Truck Heavy-Duty Standard\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt for rigorous towing, hauling, and off-road duty, this all-aluminum cooling system maintains maximum heat dissipation efficiency so your Magnum-powered Dakota operates reliably under demanding working conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VelocityMax","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50417251320056,"sku":"DS-ELZTOJ4YU","price":239.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/1290\/2648\/files\/performance-radiator-for-dodge-dakota-1997-1999-3-9l-5-2l-5-9l-automatic-1.jpg?v=1788333158","url":"https:\/\/performancechiptuning.com\/es\/products\/performance-radiator-for-dodge-dakota-1997-1999-3-9l-5-2l-5-9l-automatic","provider":"Performance Chip Tuning","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
