Hi guys I'm new to the forum.... I'm thinking of putting a three core radiator in my 98 xj , will I have to do away with my ac condenser, or modify anything to make it fit????

I only had to modify the top radiator bracket. The radiator I bought the filler neck was too short and was hitting the bracket.

Depends on the model as some manufacturers may give the body a little more depth, but my CSF 3-row fit just like the factory radiator.

If you buy a reputable brand it shouldn't require any serious modification. However, you DO want to make sure your engine mounts are in good shape or, better yet, replace them. The thicker radiator will put the fins closer to the fan, and people have installed their fancy new radiators only to have the fan eat them the first time out on the trail because the engine was able to shift too much.

I installed a Champion 2 row all aluminum radiator and it goes in with no problems and my xj has never run hot after that and the vapor lock problem I had is gone . The Champion 2 row all aluminum radiator comes with a life time warranty .
