I wasn't sure if this should go here on in the Cherokee Chat but yesterday I did the radiator in my '01. I had put it off because it never looked like the easiest job and it only had an intermittent very small leak. Just enough to smell, no steam, drips, or puddles.

Well my advice to anyone who might be putting it off. DO IT! Its one of the easiest jobs on the XJ.

Download a copy of the service manual and do it. I had to remove the header panel and not just the grill/lights to get to my drain **** but even that is just 8 nuts/bolts and its off.

I wish every vehicle was designed to pull the front crossmember out. This is the only job I have done on this thing where there were no snags.

If your putting it off, do it.

 

Haha you read my mind. Just flushed mine and a week later i find it dripping,steaming,puddles, you name it. Looks like ill be doing that
