AUTOSAVER88 Radiator for 2009–2017 Ram 1500 CU13129 — Aluminum Core, Direct-Fit Replacement

AUTOSAVER88 Radiator CU13129 is a direct-fit, high-efficiency replacement radiator engineered for 2009–2017 Ram 1500 and select 2011–2013 Ram 2500/3500 models with V6 and V8 engines.

If your Ram is showing signs of overheating, coolant loss, or diminished cabin heating, replacing the radiator with a purpose-built unit like the AUTOSAVER88 CU13129 restores the cooling system’s capacity and reliability. This complete radiator assembly is manufactured with an aluminum core and high-grade plastic tanks, tested for leaks and optimized with multi-louvered fins to improve heat dissipation while matching OEM installation points.

Will this radiator fit my Ram 1500 or heavy-duty Ram?

Yes—this CU13129 model is made to fit 2009–2017 Ram 1500 trucks and is also compatible with certain 2011–2013 Ram 2500 and 3500 configurations. Always verify engine displacement and model year before ordering to ensure a proper match.

• Compatible vehicle years: 2009–2018 Ram 1500, 2011–2013 Ram 2500 and 3500 (verify engine).
• Supported engines: 3.6L, 3.7L, 4.7L, 5.7L V6 and V8 variants.
• Replacement OEM numbers: 55056870AF, 55056858AE, CH3010353, CH3010354 for cross-reference.
• Confirm original part number or vehicle VIN for exact fit.

How does this radiator improve cooling performance?

The radiator uses a high-density aluminum core with multi-louvered fins that increase airflow contact area and accelerate heat transfer from coolant to air. That design helps the engine maintain operating temperature under load, towing, or in hot weather without altering factory cooling system geometry.

• High-density fins increase surface area for faster heat rejection.
• Aluminum core conducts heat efficiently while keeping weight low.
• Multi-louvered fin pattern improves airflow through the core.
• Constructed to OE dimensions for unobstructed coolant flow.

Is the AUTOSAVER88 radiator durable and leak-proof?

Durability is addressed through quality materials and factory leak testing: the aluminum core resists corrosion while high-grade plastic tanks withstand thermal cycling. Every unit is tested for leaks before shipment to reduce early-life failures, though careful installation and proper coolant procedures remain important.

• Aluminum core resists corrosion and dissipates heat effectively.
• High-grade plastic tanks are engineered for thermal stress resistance.
• Each radiator undergoes leak testing prior to packaging.
• Radiator cap is not included; professional installation recommended.

What comes in the package and what should I prepare for installation?

The product ships as a complete radiator assembly with a user manual to guide basic steps; however, the radiator cap is excluded and additional hardware may be required depending on your vehicle. Because alignment, hose connections, and proper coolant fill and bleed procedures are critical, professional installation is recommended if you’re not experienced with cooling systems.

• Included: 1 x complete radiator assembly and 1 x user manual.
• Not included: radiator cap, ancillary hoses, or mounting bolts in some applications.
• Tools needed: basic hand tools, coolant catch pan, torque wrench, and proper coolant type.
• Installation tip: refill and bleed the system to prevent air pockets and overheating.

Who is this for? The AUTOSAVER88 CU13129 radiator is aimed at owners and mechanics of 2009–2017 Ram 1500 trucks and compatible 2011–2013 Ram 2500/3500s who need a cost-effective, OEM-dimension replacement that restores cooling efficiency. It suits drivers who tow or drive in hot climates and technicians seeking a ready-to-install assembly with verified fitment references. Confirm vehicle compatibility and consider professional installation if you want the replacement fitted and pressure-tested to factory standards.
