Tube & Fin

Drive cooler, stronger, and more efficiently with tube-and-fin charge air coolers designed for Peterbilt trucks, available from American Radiator. These high-performance units reduce intake air temperature, enhance boost control, and support peak engine output—especially under heavy loads and hot conditions.

Each tube-and-fin cooler uses tightly spaced aluminum tubes and precision fins to maximize heat dissipation while resisting clogging and airflow loss. Rugged end tanks and reinforced construction enable the unit to withstand vibration, thermal cycling, and highway demands over the long term. The design offers an ideal blend of cooling capacity and cost efficiency, making it a smart replacement or upgrade for many Peterbilt models.

Our coolers are engineered for direct-fit compatibility, with inlet/outlet locations and mounting geometry matching factory layouts—so installation is straightforward with no major modifications needed. Though American Radiator doesn’t fabricate these cores in-house, we source premium aftermarket units rigorously tested to meet or exceed OEM standards in performance and durability.

Pair your cooler with high-quality silicone hoses, clamps, and mounting kits from our inventory to complete your charge air system upgrade. With fast nationwide shipping and expert support, getting the right Peterbilt tube-and-fin charge air cooler is both efficient and reliable.
