Unforunatley i forgot the brand of mine, but I know its a 3 core radiator and works perfect. I'll have the A/C blasting and running my jeep all day and it wont ever get ove 210. I would imagine if you go with any 3 core you will be set just make sure you read the review on how it fits and stuff. Later tommrrow I'll find out what brand i got.

Radiatorbarn.com has some good deals on radiators. They have a CSF 3 row for around $175 shipped. May want to contact them regarding fit. Here's a link:

A friend of mine who works at a radiator shop swears by the stock replacement made by Visteon. Says it's a very high-efficient replacement unit, but JMHO I'd go with the 3 row.

I went to my local radiator shop and picked a 3 core one up for 220 bucks, but that included a lifetime warranty as well as free removal and replacement of the new one say it does go bad. I would check out a rad shop first.
