Stock radiator crapped on me. I was looking for a csf all metal but everywhere I call says they're discontinued. I can find cheap aluminum ones on eBay but they look like garbage and crappy quality. I've been thinking about going with a 26x19 universal from Jegs or griffin but they have 3" tanks and from my measurements that puts it right on the power steering box. Is anyone running a radiator with bigger tanks? If not what are you running aftermarket wise? I've read the totm a bunch of times and pirates as well but the csf answer that's so common doesn't seem to be an option for the 5.9.
The only all-metal radiator I could find for my 93 was a Silla from (IIRC) Radiator Express. I even called some local radiator shops and none of them made "all metal" radiators. I haven't had any leaks. As I said in the TOTM, I just flat out could't justify $400+ for a radiator to cool an old worn out engine anyways...

Ronnie I have been running a griffin for several years now and have been very happy. I know it's a different application but I would recommend their stuff.
Did you run it before you chopped up the front? I really want to go that route but well have to see what happens. Need it good to go for Harlan April 4th-7th
Yep as well as a few other clubs from South Carolina. Its the annual OffroadSC.com ride. There should be a ton of people to wheel with/watch. Yesterday I called every radiator website like radiators.com etc that I could find to try to find an all metal and no one has one in stock or they are discontinued. The search continues...
Last year when my all copper radiator sprung a leak I couldn't find a replacement for a decent price so I just had it soldered and cleaned for $90, better than new now.
We carry new radiators for ZJs. Here's a link to them on our website. Jeep Grand Cherokee Radiator
I ended up getting an all aluminum one off eBay, one of the bolt ins. I had to trim my Efan shroud because the tanks are slightly larger but that's it. Really surprised with the quality of this, was expecting something not so good for pretty much the same price as a stock replacement.
Do you have a link? I'm going to need a new one soon, mines beat to hell
Sorry Dave the forum didn't email me this question. Aluminum middle, plastic sides. I just put three of them in. Did my dad's and my 04 WJ and my 97 ZJ...we all lost our stock radiators within a month of each other....lol My WJ runs about 195 with it. I've had the truck with 41,000 on the ticker and it always ran at 210.
They're good radiators. Tony
