Ford Galaxie 500 Radiators and Parts

Keep your Ford Galaxie 500 motor healthy and cool with replacement or upgrade radiator components. Your cooling-system includes a variety of devices charged with keeping temperatures where they should be. By performing regular inspections of these parts, you can avoid costly engine damage and promote performance.

Cooling your Galaxie motor requires various parts to cooperate. Even the smallest components perform important functions, and it helps to know a little bit about these parts when you shop for replacements or upgrades. You can find details about the part you need in your Ford Galaxie user’s manual. The spare parts you can find include the following:

• Water pump: This is the heart of the cooling-system, supplying steady quantities of cooling-fluid to the rest of the system.
• Thermostat: Temperatures of coolant need careful regulation, and the Galaxie thermostat does just that. The thermostat keeps coolant out of the radiator when the system is cold and allows it to run through the radiator when the system heats up.
• Upper/lower hoses: These parts deliver hot coolant to the radiator and route cool liquid back into the engine block. They tend to be large in diameter and carry copious amounts of fluid, so keeping these in good working order is key to system safety.
• Pressure cap: These regulate the pressure in open systems.
• Heater core: These devices enable the transfer of heat from the hot coolant to cabin air streams.
• Fan: Your Galaxie engine generates a large amount of heat while at rest, and the fan system keeps things cool until the car starts moving.
• Transmission coolers: Many radiator designs include built-in coolers for transmission fluid, which can get hot during long journeys.
• Overflow reservoir: If things get too hot and your cap needs to vent fluid to release pressure, the reservoir accommodates the overflow.

They certainly are. Whether you live in hot or cold climates, a well-functioning fan can be the difference between smooth operation and severe motor damage. When looking at replacement options consider including replacement shrouds in your plans. Shrouds perform several important functions, including routing air directly through the radiator and protecting the fan-blades. Also take note of the power source for your fan as various designs include electric, clutch driven, and belt driven models.

Water pumps need consistent sources of energy, and they get this from engine motion. They often use three main power sources, including serpentine belts, timing belts, and fan belts. In each case, they usually share the belts with one or more additional belt-driven parts.

Heater hoses are smaller in diameter than the main hoses. Their main job is to transport hot fluids to and from the heater core. Their auxiliary task is to route coolant away from the heater core when you activate your air-conditioner.
