IOmfg! So yesterday at dunkin doughnuts getting a coolata (delicious) and my radiator cracked in the same spot as before. I have an 02 grand cherokee. That's the 3rd one that's cracked in. The same place in 6 months. What could be causing it? I'm not Wheeling or anything just a daily driver. I have replaced the thermostat the coolant temp sensor the fan relay sensor multiple times the radiator multiple times, the water pump and the head gasket. Yet this happened again.

 

Getting squeezed or ratteling around in mounting area.

 

It doesn't appear to be squeezed. How would I fix that? With the rattling around.

 

What brand radiator are you using?

 

is it cracking on the driver side or the passenger side, did you re install the difficult bolt next to the steering box?

 

Idk what brand its just the one I got from the auto parts store. And yes I've reinstalled all the bolts

 

In other words, cheap Chinese crap. Buy a Mopar radiator and be done with it.

 

Ever been wrecked ? I see it mounts with isolater to core support are the there ? What motor ?

 

it has the minor dent in the fender, nothing serious for a wreck, it has the straight 6. 4.0L


I might just have to go get a mopar one. the one I have is all plastic

 

pretty sure mopar is going to be plastic too and probably not usa made either
there are all aluminum ones available try a google search
probably cost close to what a dealer one would

 

I put one in my Chevy truck that was made for a diesel. It was all brass.

 

i replaced my radiator, i dont know which rubber transmission line goes to which metal transmission cooling line, does it matter? times a factor i need the car to get to work tonight and im running out of light it being 820pm here
