Also for some reason the heep smells like it's running rich. Hopefully Dustin will figure his issue out so he can tell me what he did to fix it. :P
No CELs and I can't find any exhaust leaks.
My buddy got a radiator for 95$ for his 89 Cherokee at autozone

Sweet I will check there.

One thing: Is an all metal radiator REALLY that big of a deal? They cost 2x as much and the stock one with the plastic lasted 14 years. The plastic isn't even the part that is leaking, it's the metal where the fins meet sides. I'm gonna go with "no" but wanted to hear some opinions first. I don't know if they make the new radiators with the plastic like they used to.. LOL

My old plastic one, the upper hose fitting literally fell off when I was replacing the rad with my new all metal one (an all metal 3 row is 232 shipped from radiator barn)
also both tanks were leaking and one was cracked

no idea if it was original or a replacement but probably replaced since the jeep was in a pretty major collision less than ten years ago. even still, a metal radiator won't dry rot and leak. even after 30+ years
