Over continuous thermal cycling, this composite material becomes brittle, leading to stress fractures at the inlet and outlet necks. Furthermore, under sustained load or stop-and-go driving, the narrow OEM core tube passages quickly suffer from internal scaling, reducing flow velocity and pushing cylinder head temperatures on the \u003cstrong\u003eEGA\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eEGH\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e6G72\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003eEDZ\u003c\/strong\u003e engines toward overheating thresholds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Engineering Solution\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEngineered as a direct bolt-in cooling upgrade, this unit replaces brittle plastic with 100% furnace-brazed aerospace-grade aluminum and robust TIG-welded tanks. The high-density fin-and-tube core increases fluid capacity and surface heat dissipation area over factory dimensions, dramatically resisting heat soak during heavy cargo or passenger hauling. Precision-located mounting brackets and integrated transmission cooler fittings ensure proper alignment with factory radiator supports and OEM fan shroud assemblies without cutting or bracket modification.\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; margin-bottom: 20px;\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eFitment\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e1996-2000 Dodge Caravan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eEngine \/ Chassis\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e2.4L (EDZ), 3.0L (6G72), 3.3L (EGA), 3.8L (EGH) \/ NS Platform\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eStock Output\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e150-180 hp \/ 167-240 lb-ft\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eReplaces OEM Part #\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eN\/A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1996-2000 Dodge Caravan 2.4L 3.0L 3.3L 3.8L\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1996-2000 Dodge Grand Caravan 2.4L 3.0L 3.3L 3.8L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes this fit the NS Caravan?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Yes, this is a direct fit for the 1996-2000 Dodge Caravan equipped with the EDZ, 6G72, EGA, or EGH engine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes this radiator retain factory automatic transmission cooling?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Yes, it includes internal transmission cooler lines configured to thread directly into the stock line fittings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Dodge Durability Standard\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt to withstand severe suburban cycles and high-load long-distance travel, this all-welded aluminum radiator provides continuous cooling integrity to prevent severe engine thermal breakdown and preserve drivetrain life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VelocityMax","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50514632671480,"sku":"DS-E9Q81NWD3","price":134.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/1290\/2648\/files\/radiator-for-dodge-caravan-1996-2000-2-4l-3-0l-3-3l-3-8l-1.jpg?v=1789448636","url":"https:\/\/performancechiptuning.com\/products\/radiator-for-dodge-caravan-1996-2000-2-4l-3-0l-3-3l-3-8l","provider":"Performance Chip Tuning","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
