I looked closely at the radiator. It looks like a small automotive radiator with black plastic tanks and aluminum center section.

I'd take some careful measurements and find a friendly NAPA or maybe a radiator shop that can find the proper one.
You could also have the old one rebuilt.
If you order it from Cummins it will cost a fortune and probably go on back order

Please check back and let us know how it works out?

I don't know your model. Mine has access on the curbside but if I remember right the generator has to be lifted to allow access past the motorhome generator slide out framework. I changed the hoses and flushed it real good but didn't have to remove the radiator.

I have an '04 Sig that I replaced the radiator on the 12.5 unit. I found that the radiator in it had a VW Modine radiator in it from a 1979 VW Rabbit diesel! I replaced it in 2016 for $59.00 delivered. It was a perfect fit with very minor modifications.
