I'm trying to see if a radiator out of a 2008 Tahoe will fit and work in my 2007 Chevy Tahoe.

Hi,

That is a good question. LOL I looked up the part numbers for both model years with the 5.3L and 2wd. They are different. With that in mind, I wouldn't think it would work. However, closely inspect the two side by side and check to see if the water outlets are in the same locations as well as the transmission cooler lines. If everything seems correctly oriented, then measure it. If it is the same, you should be able to switch them. However, please keep in mind that regardless if you can force it in, something is different.

Pics 1 and 2 show the OEM part numbers for each model year.

I don't know if you need them, but the last two pics are the directions for the removal and replacement on a 2007.

Additionally, here is a link you may find helpful:

Let me know if this helps or if you have other questions.

Take care,

Joe
