Thermal fatigue frequently causes the crimped perimeter gaskets to weep or rupture, resulting in catastrophic loss of cooling pressure and head gasket damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Engineering Solution\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis direct-replacement unit eliminates plastic failure points entirely by using high-strength, TIG-welded aluminum end tanks fused to a dense 3-row aluminum tube-and-fin core. The furnace-brazed core significantly expands coolant fluid capacity and increases effective surface area for superior heat rejection. Precision-engineered inlet and outlet ports align directly with OEM hose routing, restoring thermal stability to match factory references \u003cstrong\u003eCU13682\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003e13682\u003c\/strong\u003e without vehicle modification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 x All-Aluminum 3-Row Performance Radiator\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eProtective transit caps for coolant ports\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;\"\u003e2018-2020 Chevrolet Equinox\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;\"\u003e1.5L LYX, 2.0L LTG \/ D2XX\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;\"\u003e170-252 hp \/ 203-260 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;\"\u003eCU13682, 13682\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\u003e2018-2020 Chevrolet Equinox 1.5L L4 Turbo (LYX)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2018-2020 Chevrolet Equinox 2.0L L4 Turbo (LTG)\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 D2XX Equinox?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, this is a direct fit for the 2018-2020 Chevrolet Equinox equipped with the \u003cstrong\u003eLYX\u003c\/strong\u003e (1.5L) or \u003cstrong\u003eLTG\u003c\/strong\u003e (2.0L) engines. \u003cstrong\u003eThis product is specified exclusively for the listed turbocharged 1.5L and 2.0L applications and is not a universal-fit radiator.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eDo I need to bleed the cooling system after installation?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, you must perform a full cooling system flush, refill with proper spec coolant mixture, and completely bleed all trapped air to ensure consistent thermal transfer and prevent localized hot spots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Chevrolet Durability Standard\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEngineered to handle sustained highway commuting and family-hauler demands, this all-aluminum cooling solution delivers heavy-duty thermal protection that outperforms and outlasts brittle factory equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VelocityMax","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67551792070904,"sku":"DS-EO6TW83X7","price":109.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/1290\/2648\/files\/aluminum-radiator-for-chevrolet-equinox-2018-2020-1-5l-2-0l-1.jpg?v=1790802650","url":"https:\/\/performancechiptuning.com\/fr\/products\/aluminum-radiator-for-chevrolet-equinox-2018-2020-1-5l-2-0l","provider":"Performance Chip Tuning","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
