Over prolonged heat cycles, vibration, and continuous hydraulic expansion, these nylon end tanks suffer plasticizer migration, leading to micro-fractures, seam separation, and sudden coolant loss. Furthermore, the thin factory core lacks sufficient thermal inertia when hauling full passenger loads or driving through elevated ambient temperatures, causing heat soak and elevated transmission fluid temperatures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Engineering Solution\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis high-efficiency replacement engineered for the \u003cstrong\u003eD4\u003c\/strong\u003e chassis eliminates plastic failure points entirely by utilizing 100% 5052-grade aluminum construction. Featuring an expanded 3-row tube-and-fin core, it significantly increases fluid capacity and total convective surface area compared to stock. The tanks are hand TIG-welded to the core using controlled furnace brazing, ensuring absolute structural integrity under elevated system pressures. Retaining factory-located inlet and outlet geometry, it matches OE routing while providing superior heat rejection for the \u003cstrong\u003eDuratec 35\u003c\/strong\u003e engine.\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 port transport caps\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;\"\u003e2010-2019 Ford Flex\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;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDuratec 35\u003c\/strong\u003e \/ \u003cstrong\u003eD4\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\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;\"\u003e262–287 hp \/ 248–254 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;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAS629546MM\u003c\/strong\u003e\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\u003e2010-2019 Ford Flex (3.5L V6)\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 D4 Flex?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, this is a direct fit for the 2010-2019 Ford Flex equipped with the \u003cstrong\u003eDuratec 35\u003c\/strong\u003e engine. \u003cstrong\u003eThis unit is engineered strictly for the listed 3.5L Ford Flex applications; do not attempt installation on other platforms or non-specified engine configurations.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eIs a system flush required upon installation?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, technicians must thoroughly flush the engine block and heater core to prevent particulate contamination from reducing the efficiency of the new brazed core.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Ford Caliber\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEngineered for high-mileage dependability, this structural cooling upgrade delivers the thermal overhead required for extended family highway towing, steep elevation climbs, and extreme climate duty.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VelocityMax","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67551738036472,"sku":"DS-EC2G2GQZC","price":139.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/1290\/2648\/files\/aluminum-radiator-for-ford-flex-2010-2019-3-5l-1.jpg?v=1790802262","url":"https:\/\/performancechiptuning.com\/fr\/products\/aluminum-radiator-for-ford-flex-2010-2019-3-5l","provider":"Performance Chip Tuning","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
