How Do Clean Radiator Fins Enhance Heat Transfer and What Are the Best Maintenance Practices on 2000 Dodge Ram 1500?

Radiator and air conditioning fins that become dirty should be cleaned to ensure adequate heat transfer through clean radiator fins. Using cold water and compressed air applied to the back of the radiator will clear out any debris in the radiator and on the A/C condenser. Check the radiator side tanks; do they crack for defects, broken or missing fittings, have seams in the joint through which the tanks seam up with the radiator core starting to leak or deteriorating seals. Also, the radiator core should be checked for corroded, bent or missing cooling fins, bent or damaged cooling tubes, etc.
