Over years of thermal cycling, vibration, and pressure fluctuation, the plastic degrades and brittles, leading to seam separation and hairline fractures around the inlet\/outlet necks. Furthermore, the confined engine bay of the GMT060 platform restricts natural passive airflow, causing the single-row factory core to saturate under heavy cargo loads, hill climbs, or high-ambient towing conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Engineering Solution\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis heavy-duty upgrade is manufactured from aircraft-grade AA5052 aluminum with 100% TIG-welded tanks, completely eliminating failure-prone crimped plastic seams and internal O-rings. Featuring an oversized 3-row crossflow tube-and-fin racing core (28-1\/4\" W x 17-1\/2\" H), it significantly expands fluid capacity and thermal dissipation surface area. Integrated, high-efficiency transmission and engine oil coolers are built into the end-tanks to stabilize critical driveline fluid temperatures under sustained load.\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;\"\u003e1996-2005 GMC Safari (Automatic Transmission)\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;\"\u003e4.3L Vortec 4300 (L35\/LU3) \/ GM M-Body\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;\"\u003e190 hp \/ 250 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;\"\u003e28-1\/4\" W x 17-1\/2\" 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\u003eInlet \/ Outlet\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e1-5\/16\" Inlet \/ 1-9\/16\" Outlet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCoolers Included\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003eInternal Engine Oil Cooler \u0026amp; Transmission Oil Cooler\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInterchange Part Numbers\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003eDPI 1786, CU1786, Q1786, RAD1786, 411786, 15180873, 52472906, 52482175, 8012003, GM3010303\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1996-2005 GMC Safari Base Extended Cargo Van 4.3L V6 Automatic\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1996-2005 GMC Safari Base Extended Passenger Van 4.3L V6 Automatic\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1996-2005 GMC Safari SL\/SLE\/SLT\/SLX Standard \u0026amp; Extended Passenger Van 4.3L V6 Automatic\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1996-2005 GMC Safari AWD \u0026amp; RWD Configurations 4.3L V6 Automatic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe GMC Heavy-Duty Standard\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt to withstand extreme payload and commercial hauling duty cycles, this all-aluminum direct bolt-on radiator ensures stable operating temperatures, maximum drivetrain longevity, and complete peace of mind on the highway or job site.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VelocityMax","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50426427736312,"sku":"DS-EWOUIR8HT","price":244.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/1290\/2648\/files\/performance-radiator-for-gmc-safari-1996-2005-4-3l-automatic-1.jpg?v=1788398336","url":"https:\/\/performancechiptuning.com\/fr\/products\/performance-radiator-for-gmc-safari-1996-2005-4-3l-automatic","provider":"Performance Chip Tuning","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
