Aftermarket Radiator For stroker
So I'm about to put my stroker in and i want to get an aftermarket radiator. I have an 88 cherokee. What are some of the best aftermarket radiators out there and what do you guys suggest? I am having overheating issues now and need to replace my radiator regardless

I've been running this for about a month now.
Takes a little bit of work to install, the radiator support needs to be notched out for the rad cap and some people have had issues with the trans cooler lines, I opted just to use an external trans cooler.

Strokers run hotter than stock 4.0s. I would strongly recommend a 2 or 3 row radiator. Cheap plastic single row radiators wont cut it. Im using a flowkooler water pump on my 4.6L definitely helps when wheeling and crawling through traffic. Also make sure to inspect other cooling system related components. Radiator, water pump, thermostat, fan clutch, efan hoses etc. If you have an automatic tranny id pick up a large oil cooler for that too.
