The part is the central thermal management system for the HOWO MAX 4X2 tractor, integrating the radiator and intercooler into a single, pre‑assembled unit. This cooling module ensures optimal engine temperature control and charge‑air cooling, directly impacting performance, fuel efficiency, and engine longevity. When you choose authentic Howo Parts, this cooling module guarantees OE fitment, premium materials, and long‑term reliability. Below are detailed descriptions of every component included with this cooling module assembly.
The radiator is the primary heat exchanger of The part, designed to dissipate engine coolant heat into the atmosphere. This radiator features a high‑efficiency multi‑row aluminium core with brazed fins, offering maximum heat transfer and corrosion resistance. The radiator is engineered for the MC13 engine’s cooling demands, with a 1000mm width and 800mm height, capable of handling up to 350 kW of heat rejection. The part radiator includes integrated mounting points and a built‑in expansion tank connection, ensuring straightforward installation within the chassis.
The intercooler is the charge‑air cooler component of The part, reducing the temperature of pressurised air from the turbocharger before it enters the engine. This intercooler uses a parallel‑flow aluminium core with high‑density fins, delivering up to 85% cooling efficiency. The part intercooler is rated for boost pressures up to 4 bar and airflow capacities matching the MC13 engine’s output. It is mounted directly in front of the radiator, forming an integrated part of The part assembly.
Cooling module – genuine HOWO complete radiator and intercooler assembly for MAX 4X2
This cooling module combines the radiator and intercooler in a single unit, reducing installation complexity and ensuring optimal airflow distribution. The part is designed for the MC13 engine, providing consistent temperature control even under extreme loads.
The part uses corrosion‑resistant aluminium cores with brazed fins, offering superior heat transfer and durability. This cooling module construction resists clogging and maintains performance over hundreds of thousands of kilometres.
This cooling module is manufactured to SINOTRUK’s original specifications, guaranteeing perfect alignment with the chassis mounts, fan shroud, and hose connections. The part fits seamlessly into the HOWO MAX 4X2 without modifications.
The part arrives as a complete assembly, saving workshop time and eliminating the risk of misalignment. The part includes the radiator and intercooler with all mounting hardware pre‑installed, ready for installation.
The part is engineered to manage the thermal load of the HOWO MAX 4X2 MC13 engine. The radiator core is a cross‑flow design with 62 fins per inch, providing a cooling surface of 12.5 square metres. The part’s radiator is pressure‑tested to 2.5 bar and is compatible with both conventional and long‑life coolants.
The intercooler, integrated into the same cooling module, features a 48‑row plate‑and‑bar design that effectively reduces charge‑air temperatures from 200°C to 50°C under full load. The part’s overall dimensions (1100mm wide, 900mm high, 180mm thick) are optimised for the MAX 4X2 chassis. The part includes built‑in mounting brackets that accept the factory rubber isolators,
reducing vibration transfer. The part also incorporates a pressure‑relief cap on the radiator, which maintains system pressure at 1.2 bar, raising the boiling point of the coolant. This cooling module is designed for continuous duty in ambient temperatures ranging from -40°C to +50°C,
making it suitable for global operations. The part’s aluminium construction ensures lightweight durability, with a total weight of 28 kg for the complete assembly. Regular inspection of The part for debris accumulation and fin damage is recommended to maintain peak performance.
Before installing The part, ensure the engine is cool and the battery is disconnected. Remove the old radiator and intercooler, and clean the chassis mounting points. Position the new cooling module onto the lower brackets, then align the upper mounts. Secure The part using the original M10 and M12 bolts (not included, but available separately),
torquing to 40 Nm for M10 and 80 Nm for M12. Connect the radiator hoses to the engine and the expansion tank, ensuring they are routed correctly. Attach the intercooler pipes using the supplied clamps, torquing to 10 Nm. Fill the cooling system with the recommended coolant mixture and bleed the air using the bleed screw on The part.
Start the engine and check for leaks around The part connections. Verify that the electric fan (if equipped) engages at the correct temperature. The part installation is now complete.
If the engine overheats despite The part being installed, check the coolant level and the fan operation. A blocked radiator core can be cleaned with compressed air. If the intercooler is not reducing charge‑air temperature, inspect for leaks in the piping or a damaged core.
A cooling module that leaks coolant often indicates a cracked core or a failed gasket; pressure test the system to locate the leak. If The part is misaligned, recheck the mounting bolts and brackets. Vibration noise from The part may be due to loose isolators; replace the rubber mounts. Always use genuine cooling module components for repairs.
Inspect The part every 50,000 km or annually. Clean the radiator and intercooler fins with a soft brush and compressed air to remove debris. Check all hose connections for tightness and signs of leakage. Inspect The part for corrosion,
especially around the lower tank and pipe joints. Replace the coolant every two years or as per the vehicle’s maintenance schedule. If The part has been involved in an accident or has sustained impact damage, replace it immediately to avoid overheating. Keeping The part clean and properly maintained ensures the engine operates within its optimal temperature range.
This cooling module is specifically designed for the HOWO MAX 4X2 tractor with MC11 and MC13 engines. It is compatible with all production years from 2018 onward and fits both standard and high‑roof cab variants.
The part is also suitable for SITRAK C7H and HOWO T7H models that share the same chassis and cooling system layout. It is not compatible with older WD615 engines or A7 models, which use different radiator and intercooler dimensions. Always verify your vehicle’s VIN and cooling system configuration before ordering The part.
Aftermarket cooling modules often use lower‑grade aluminium that corrodes quickly or cores with insufficient fin density, leading to poor heat rejection and engine overheating. Non‑genuine intercoolers may have restricted airflow,
causing elevated intake air temperatures and reduced power output. The part’s mounting brackets in copy kits may not align correctly, causing fan shroud interference and cooling system inefficiency. Genuine HOWO cooling module components are manufactured to SINOTRUK’s exacting standards, using certified aluminium alloys, precision‑brazed cores,
and corrosion‑resistant coatings. The small additional cost of a genuine cooling module is insignificant compared to the cost of an engine rebuild due to overheating. For fleet operators, using genuine cooling modules ensures consistent cooling performance across the entire fleet, reducing downtime and extending engine life.
