Want to replace radiator before winter . Got a email from Amazon
Here are choices
Spectra premium cu1193. $77.66

Prime Choice RK485 aluminum. $52.04

TYC 1193 1-row plastic aluminum. $78.98

Soften 109-A0158-X01 $ 105.08

Anyone use any of these ? Don't want to spent big bucks on a replacement , also want to change water pump and hoses

GMB water pumps ? Quality ??

 

Spectra radiators are well thought of around here. As far as the water pump I'd go NAPA.

 

I buy parts from a local store. PITA to return things to Amazon. I believe I received a Spectra through NAPA.

 

We literally just had a discussion of this 2 weeks ago. It's so fresh a simple search would get you answers. Go local, cause if/when it leaks, you can warranty it easier and faster.

 

Some guys recommend the ones from Autozone for around $100. I went with a NAPA for about $100 with no problems.

 

AutoZone under a $100 and lifetime warranty buy local the OEM type.

 

For those who don't know. The Cherokee XJ Auto Zone radiator is a Spectra Premium.

 

I have a wholesale account at O'Reilly's. A Murray was about $94. Lifetime warranty.

 

I just tried the CARQUEST site. Their radiator is suppose to have the trans fittings brazed in place but no pics or info.

 

Thanks Earl didn't know that.

 

is that a decent radiator?

 

Mopar produces a less expensive (heavy duty) OEM quality using plastic tanks.

Not sure how it compares to similar aftermarket radiators. These fit other years, for some reason are only listed under 00-01.

Metal tank versions are significantly higher in price.

MOPAR 52079682AF (I've seen this p/n listed as a copper / brass radiator, uncertain if it's an alum. core. Some of Mopar p/n's switched from copper to alum. cores.)
