Re: Radiator Tag Meaning
That's the assembly plant "broadcast code" (also known as the "pick code") for the radiator assembly.
Radiator part numbers proliferate based on tank size, end tank configuration (manual vs auto trans and A/C vs no A/C) and maybe other variables that I'm not thinking of. As a result the guy on the assembly line is faced with picking the right radiator out of a selection of a dozen or more choices. So - rather than making him remember that he's after a part number 12345678 (vs a 12345687 or 12345768) we just tell him he needs a "CW" or a "CZ" or a "PAM" or whatever. We do that for any commodity where there is a high degree of proliferation (engines, trans, rear axle, radiator, brake master cylinders, brake vacuum boosters etc). Hope that helps - K
