I have a 96 Cherokee 4cyl (with air but condenser was damaged) and now that it's getting hotter out, I look around in the pull its and all I see are 6cyl cherokees.
Can I use a condenser from a 6cyl in front of my small 4cyl radiator?
The hoses look to be the same. Well, usable with the drier..
Thanks E

Comparing part numbers yields similar evidence... though there are more options for the 6 cyl, the 1193 radiator fits both models.

So as far as fitting in front of your RADIATOR, you shouldn't have a problem. Whether or not it's the right volume for your AC system, on the other hand, may be the bigger factor here.

There's a HUGE difference in radiators.
The 6cyl has a WIDE but thin one and the 4cyl is more of a square, that narrowly fits between the steering box and the pass side body/frame under the battery.
When I was trying to order a radiator a while back either for my Comanche or this Cherokee, I was running into the same thing from 'parts' suppliers..
Here's the sizes that you can see the differences.

Since the 6cyl condenser fits IN FRONT of it's radiator, I just assumed that the larger surface area would be more efficient in extracting heat compared to the 4cyl one that is pretty much the shape of the its' radiator.
I just wanted to know if any of the 4cyl owners (in HOT regions) have done this for better cooling and therefore colder charge inside the cabin through the Evaporator..
Like you said, The R-134 might take another can but hey, if it works, Fantastic!!

Doing the rear disc conversion, it says ZJ master, booster and proportioning valve. Grabbed that today. But a question the valve on the 98 ZJ only has 2 lines coming from it, my 93 has three. What do I need to do?

Do you guys know if this would still apply to a swap going into a 1988 Comanche as well?
Was going to do the swap for the next owner or just add it in the sale.
It was a 1995 booster/master/Pop valve.
Thanks again guys. Good info without the flaming.

Comanches have a unique brake distribution block because of the load-sensing proportioning valve (that often doesn't even work).

If so, there should be a "plug" on the ZJ valve that you would remove.

AFAIK, there's no difference in size between the radiators between 2.5 and 4.0L
