Hey guys.. since I need a new radiator, I got a good deal to import one from Dubai, the thing is though, umm.. They make radiators for LHD cherokees ONLY!. I wanted to know that what would be the difference in the radiators for the LHD and the RHD Cherokees?

I wasn't aware that there was a difference. Someone might be able to confirm if there is a difference or not however. Posting a pic of your engine bay would also help determine this.

Notice the thermostat housing, that hose pipe connects to the upper hose of the radiator, and at the very same side, there is the transmission oil cooler. On the right of the pic, which you can't see, the pipe from below the engine connects to the lower hose of the radiator, and the filling cap is at the right side too. Hope this helps..

I don't know if there is actually a difference, I wanted to know! Since the guy mentioned its for a LHD Cherokee, I got attentive.

Right, I was just saying if there was a difference, I wasn't aware of it. From the look of the pic and what you described, I highly doubt there is a difference between the two.

Any ideas people?

I just replaced my radiator a week ago and looked at the LHD radiator because it was cheaper. It looked like the thing was backwards/ hose lines were located in different positions.

hmm so you have a RHD cherokee? can any one post their LHD cherokee engine bay pics please :$ I dont care if the tranny cooler is on the wrong side, the hose pipes should be the same I suppose!

My stock LHD has the same upper radiator hose routing..

My Mopar parts catalog does show different part #s for LHD and RHD but doesnt show a pic of both.

Where is your Transmission oil cooler which is in the radiator? According to the pic, is it on the left or right?

The parts book only shows the radiator from the front so I can not see any trans cooler ports.

What's the catalog say about heater core inlet n outlet hoses. I can't seem to find em.

From what I understand, the difference between the 2 is, the tranny cooler in the rad is on the drivers side.

The heater core hoses on a rhd are longer with more bends. I just upgraded my rhd's cooling system. I had to splice a lhd n some 5/8 hose for the core to thermostat line n run it like the stock hose. I used a lhd hose for the core to water pump line n ran it over the valve cover (carefully). The whole heater core hose thing was a pain because each hose needs to be 5/8 on one end n 11/16 on the other end.
