Chevy Suburban Radiators & Parts

One of the main parts responsible for cooling the engine of your Chevy Suburban is the radiator. Located right behind the front bumper, it's exposed to the flow of oncoming air to dissipate heat most effectively. However, its position makes this part somewhat vulnerable to flying dirt, insects, and other objects that could damage the radiator's thin fins and tubes. In some cases, it makes sense to carefully wash clogged radiator cells or restore the shape of jammed fins to get their initial efficiency back.

But if a radiator leaks, its replacement is the best solution in most cases. Most modern radiators have an aluminum core and plastic inlet and outlet tanks, with special gaskets between the tanks and core. If this construction is made well, it's strong and durable enough, however, cracks in plastic due to extreme temps are the most common reasons for its failure. Another cause is the coolant which has not been changed for too long; due to ineffective or missing additives, it gets too aggressive toward metals. Whatever the reason, a quality replacement can be found in our online selection of Chevy Suburban radiators sourced from reputable brands.
