Radiator for Chevrolet Equinox (2010-2017) 2.4L 3.0L 3.6L

Direct-Fit Replacement Radiator for 2010-2017 Chevrolet Equinox (GM Theta)

What it Does: The direct-replacement radiator restores factory heat dissipation and coolant flow across the 2010-2017 Equinox cooling system to prevent thermal runaway and protect against cylinder head warping.

The Stock Chevrolet Equinox Thermal Weakness

Factory cooling modules on the GM Theta platform are prone to heat-cycling fatigue over time. The original plastic end tanks endure constant pressure and temperature swings from the 2.4L Ecotec, 3.0L High Feature, and 3.6L High Feature engines, causing stress micro-fractures along the inlet and outlet ports. Furthermore, the crimped aluminum-to-polymer perimeter gasket degrades, resulting in coolant weeping, crust buildup, and unmetered pressure drops that lead to severe localized boiling and head gasket damage.

The Engineering Solution

This replacement unit features a 26" x 16-9/16" x 1" furnace-brazed aluminum crossflow core equipped with high-density louvered cooling fins designed to accelerate heat transfer under heavy load. The reinforced PA66 composite side tanks are hydraulic-crimped with durable, heat-resistant seals to resist vibration and thermal expansion. An internal transmission oil cooler keeps line fluid temperatures stable, preventing transmission slippage. Direct-fit inlet and outlet connections guarantee drop-in compatibility with factory hoses, matching OEM specifications for 13103, CU13103, GM3010529, 19130404, and 25952758.
