Over repeated thermal cycles, continuous heat soak from the 3.7L and 4.7L PowerTech engines embrittles the composite plastic, leading to fatigue fractures at the inlet\/outlet necks and blown tank-to-core seals. Additionally, the stock single-row core lacks adequate fluid volume, creating thermal bottlenecks during sustained grade climbs and payload hauling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Engineering Solution\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis drop-in unit features an all-aluminum vacuum-brazed 3-row crossflow core (23.4 in W x 18.8 in H) fully assembled with 100% TIG-welded end tanks and zero structural epoxy. Multi-louvered high-density fins significantly enhance convective heat transfer while expanding overall fluid capacity. It includes an integrated 5\/8-18 UNF transmission oil cooler (TOC) to maintain safe automatic transmission fluid operating temps, protecting against thermal breakdown and transmission slip.\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;\"\u003e2000-2004 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;\"\u003e3.7L V6, 4.7L V8 PowerTech \/ 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;\"\u003e210–235 hp \/ 235–295 lb-ft (Approx)\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;\"\u003eDPI 2294 \/ OE 55056426AA, 52028917AD, 52028916, 52028918\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2000-2004 Dodge Dakota 4.7L PowerTech V8 (Automatic Transmission)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2004 Dodge Dakota 3.7L PowerTech V6 (Automatic Transmission)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFits Automatic transmission models with 5\/8-18 UNF internal TOC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDoes not fit 1994-1999 Dodge Dakota models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Dodge Truck Durability Standard\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEngineered to handle severe towing, off-road articulation, and severe duty cycles, this all-aluminum cooling system ensures maximum thermal stability and engine protection under heavy mechanical load.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VelocityMax","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50416643375352,"sku":"DS-ERANS50NC","price":234.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/1290\/2648\/files\/performance-radiator-for-dodge-dakota-2000-2004-3-7l-4-7l-automatic-1.jpg?v=1788323388","url":"https:\/\/performancechiptuning.com\/products\/performance-radiator-for-dodge-dakota-2000-2004-3-7l-4-7l-automatic","provider":"Performance Chip Tuning","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
