Fitment
Fits 1994-2002 Dodge Ram trucks with the 5.9L Cummins. That covers the 12-valve engine (1994-1998) and the 24-valve engine (1998.5-2002). The product title, CSF's application and our catalog tags all agree on 1994-2002. If you want us to double-check before you order, send us your VIN or call the shop.
Why this part
When the radiator on an older Cummins starts leaking or gets damaged, you want a replacement that bolts in like the original and cools like it too. The 3273 is built to OE specifications for a true drop-in fit that matches the performance of your OE radiator. Every CSF radiator design goes through in-house testing, including wind tunnel, burst pressure, vibration, thermal cycle and salt spray corrosion testing. Where CSF finds a weakness in the OEM design or performance, it builds in a stronger solution. Each unit is individually pressure tested and serial # certified.
The build follows the factory recipe with attention to the details. The tanks are made from virgin-grade engineered plastic resins that are glass filled for strength and durability, mounted on an aluminum core. The fins use an OEM-spec multi-louvered design, and the tubes are either welded or CSF's latest-generation B-tube design. All components are installed, torqued and tested on the radiator during assembly, and every unit is 100% leak tested at 150% of operating pressure before it leaves the factory.
