Over repeated thermal cycles, cyclic pressure expansion and engine bay heat degrade the polymer, resulting in micro-fractures, stress cracking around the inlet tank, and gasket blowouts. Furthermore, the stock core volume offers limited thermal reserve, leading to rapid heat soak when towing, climbing grades, or idling in high ambient conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Engineering Solution\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConstructed entirely from aircraft-grade AA5052 aluminum with 2 mm heavy-wall sheet metal tanks and 100% precision TIG welds, this performance unit eliminates failure-prone crimped plastic seams. The core utilizes a 3-row vacuum-brazed crossflow configuration measuring 27-5\/8 in x 18-1\/16 in with cooling rows spaced at 3\/8 in intervals. Incorporating high-efficiency louvered fins packed at 14–16 fins per inch (FPI), this design maximizes surface area contact and fluid turbulence to drastically improve heat dissipation efficiency over factory standards. Includes precision-machined 1.25 in inlet and 1.5 in outlet ports, an internal automatic transmission fluid cooler, and an OEM-style solid brass drain petcock.\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;\"\u003e2001-2006 Mazda Tribute (Automatic Transmission Only)\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;\"\u003e3.0L AJ-V6 (Duratec 30) \/ EP Platform (CD2)\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;\"\u003e200 hp \/ 200 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 2307, CU 2307, RAD2307, 8012307, 6L8Z8005LA, YL8Z8005JA, YL8Z8005KB, YL8Z8005LB, AJ0315200, AJ0315200A, FO3010138, YF4715200\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2001-2006 Mazda Tribute DX, ES, LX, and s models equipped with 3.0L V6 Automatic Transmission\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDirect fit replacement for OEM Part Numbers: 6L8Z8005LA, YL8Z8005JA, YL8Z8005KB, YL8Z8005LB, AJ0315200, AJ0315200A, FO3010138, YF4715200\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInterchange: DPI 2307, CU 2307, RAD2307, 8012307\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cem\u003eNote: Does not fit 2.0L I4 or 2.3L I4 engine variants.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Mazda Utility Cooling Standard\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt to withstand the thermal demands of utility hauling, high-heat commuting, and off-pavement trail operation, this all-aluminum core delivers the thermal recovery rates and structural rigidity required to safeguard the 3.0L AJ powerplant from catastrophic overheating.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VelocityMax","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50417254039800,"sku":"DS-EIZHL7B15","price":229.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/1290\/2648\/files\/performance-radiator-for-mazda-tribute-2001-2006-3-0l-automatic-1.jpg?v=1788333256","url":"https:\/\/performancechiptuning.com\/products\/performance-radiator-for-mazda-tribute-2001-2006-3-0l-automatic","provider":"Performance Chip Tuning","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
