Radiator for Chrysler Town & Country (1996-2000) 3.3L 3.8L

Direct-Fit Replacement Radiator for 1996-2000 Chrysler Town & Country

What it Does: The replacement engine cooling radiator restores thermal efficiency and fluid heat rejection on the 1996-2000 Chrysler Town & Country to prevent engine overheating and transmission fluid degradation.

The Stock Chrysler Town & Country Thermal Breakdown

The factory cooling system on the NS platform minivans relies on composite plastic end-tanks crimped to an aluminum tube-and-fin core with rubber O-ring gaskets. Over decades of high-heat cycling from the transverse-mounted EGA and EGH pushrod V6 engines, the brittle PA66 plastic degrades, leading to hairline fissures, stress cracks around the inlet/outlet necks, and catastrophic gasket blowout along the lower tank header. Furthermore, internal galvanic corrosion and mineral buildup clog the narrow factory coolant passages, causing creeping engine temperatures under loaded highway cruising and prolonged idle.

The Engineering Solution

Engineered to resolve the thermal vulnerabilities of aging factory units, this direct-fit radiator utilizes a high-density, furnace-brazed aluminum core paired with reinforced polymer end-tanks engineered to withstand continuous operating pressures up to 16 PSI. Featuring multi-louvered aluminum fins optimized for maximum ambient airflow transfer across the core tubes, this unit enhances convective heat dissipation while resisting heat soak. It integrates an internal concentric transmission fluid cooler designed to preserve automatic transmission line pressures and protect against transmission fluid breakdown under heavy passenger and cargo hauling.
