GM Radiator & Cooling Parts

The factory radiator in your GM vehicle is crucial when it comes to keeping your vehicle running smoothly and safely. That's because the engine generates a lot of heat when it's operating. If it gets too hot, it's prone to overheating and shutting down completely. Your radiator prevents that by keeping the various engine parts cool.

How Radiators Cool the Engine

Coolant is sent from the radiator to the engine block, where it collects the heat that is building up throughout. The coolant is carried back to the radiator via a network of hoses. Thanks to the radiator's large, flat, finned surface, the heat collected is able to dissipate into the air. The coolant mix then returns to the engine to start its work anew.

How to Tell if Your Radiator is Going Bad

Don't risk letting a bad radiator cause more significant damage. Look for these signs:

• Your Low Coolant dash light alerts
• There are pools of red, green, or yellow liquid under your GM vehicle
• Odd engine noises
• The syrupy smell of coolant
• Cabin air conditioning and heating trouble

If your radiator cooling is starting to act up, go ahead and replace it to ensure continued comfortable driving. You don't want to trust anything but a genuine GM part, though. They're the only ones that come with a guarantee for both fit and performance, since they're the only ones made for your model. Find yours online.
