1995 454 4x4 suburban - Radiator?

[cyoung]

I have a burb as described in the title. It is a 3/4 Ton. I noticed that the radiator has "Chevy 1500" in paint marker on the side. That's started me worrying if the truck has a suitable radiator set up in it. Can anyone help me ID if I have an appropriate radiator in the truck? I haven't driven it enough to know if it has engine heating problems under various conditions but I haven't had any yet. The truck has other known problems but I'll save those questions for later.

Somebody on this board also noted that it should have a fan in front of the radiator, I think. Any more information on the required fan would also be helpful.

Thanks!

I will look at my 97 454 when I get home tonight or tom. and see. I do not think mine has a fan in front of the adiator though.

Thanks!! Could you take a pic or two or measurements of the radiator? Some way to ID it. Come to think of it, there's probably a part number on it somewhere but it may not be visible.
Thanks for any help.

Maybe if you post up your measurements. You might get some more insite.

Also many times they spec the same part for several applications. My 1995 C2500 w/ 454 had the big radiator w/ oil and trans cooler.

Thanks Yager - good idea. Will do.

My 97 has no fan in front. It actually has no electric fan at all, just the mechanical one. Get some measurements and I can measure mine Thursday afternoon to compare.

Thanks.
The main body of mine is only about 1.5" thick by about 40" wide by roughly 20" tall. The end caps are of course wider.

Any more thoughts?
