If you're seeing your temperature gauge creeping higher than normal, noticing coolant loss without an obvious leak, or dealing with a radiator that's simply original to a truck well past 100,000 miles, this radiator replaces the complete unit as a direct fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Radiators Wear Out on These Trucks\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA radiator's job is to pull heat out of the coolant as it circulates through the engine, and it does that through a core made of narrow channels and fins that are especially vulnerable to corrosion and small leaks developing over years of heat cycling and exposure to road debris. On a Colorado or Canyon with the 3.6L V6, the radiator also has to keep pace with a bigger engine's cooling demands than the four-cylinder version of these trucks, which is part of why a radiator sized correctly for the V6 matters rather than assuming any Colorado-fitting radiator will do the job.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCross-referenced to part numbers CU13689 and 84671373\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAluminum core with plastic end tanks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLouvered core fins for improved airflow and heat transfer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirect-fit replacement for automatic transmission models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBacked by a 2-year manufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCore material: Aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTank material: Plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCore size: 24.8 in. x 24.72 in. x 1.02 in.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlow type: Down flow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTransmission type: Automatic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarranty: 2 years against manufacturing defects\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: New\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFits the 2017-2022 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon with the V6 3.6L engine and automatic transmission. Because these trucks were also offered with four-cylinder and diesel engine options across this generation, it's worth confirming your specific truck has the 3.6L V6 before ordering, since the four-cylinder and diesel versions use differently sized radiators.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSigns Your Radiator Needs Replacing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA failing radiator on a Colorado or Canyon typically shows up as a temperature gauge that climbs higher than normal, especially in stop-and-go traffic or while towing, coolant that needs topping off more often than it should without a visible puddle underneath, or in more advanced cases, visible corrosion or a crack along one of the tank seams where it meets the core. Because a slow coolant leak can be easy to overlook until the engine actually overheats, checking coolant level regularly on a truck with over 100,000 miles is worth the minor effort.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Replace the Complete Radiator\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce a radiator's core has developed internal corrosion or a tank seam has started seeping, there's no reliable way to repair it that holds up long-term, since the aluminum core itself is what's degrading rather than a single gasket or hose connection. Replacing the complete radiator with a new aluminum-core unit means starting with fresh internal passages that haven't accumulated years of mineral buildup, which also tends to improve cooling performance compared to an old radiator that was technically still holding coolant but no longer transferring heat as efficiently as it once did.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReplacing this radiator means draining the cooling system, disconnecting the upper and lower radiator hoses along with the transmission cooler lines, removing the radiator's mounting brackets, and lifting the old unit free before installing the new one in reverse order. Because this radiator is built for automatic transmission models with transmission cooler lines running through the tank, double-checking that your truck's configuration matches before ordering avoids a mismatch at installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOrdering Information\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis coolant radiator is in stock and ships ready to install.
