Radiator

Hey everyone,

I replaced the radiator in my 98 grand cherokee limited with an OEM replacmeent and upgraded to Goodyear hoses vs. the OEM gates hoses and now the lower left front part of the radiator is leaking like buckets when it becomes cold out on a cold start. any ideas if the hoses could be a problem or has anyone else experienced something like this?

Thanks for the help!

Sounds like you got a bad radiator. Take it to a shop that can pressure test your cooling system.

It's possible that you got a defective unit, and the seal on the core is bad.

Or take it back, and tell them the new one is leaking and replace it.
