Nope, its copper. But cheaper, and still a huge improvement over stock. Not an option to overlook.

Well copper is actually a better conductor of thermal energy it just weighs significantly more than aluminum as well. I was trying to find a nice balance. By the way, how is that weather up in Milwaukee? That's where I am originally from.

Just a quick question, are the CSF all metal radiators 100% copper? even tanks?

The tanks are metal, yes.

One big reason its such a large improvement over stock.

They have a sister company that USED to offer up a large 2 row all alum, that they discontinued unfortunately sometime last year. they now have a 3 row, and small 2 row I think.

In my Race XJ I needed more surface area, but didnt want to reduce airflow that much by all the extra core surface of a 3 row. So the thick 2 row was much better for my slow yet hard on it usage, the fan is able to pull the air as needed with out static pressure loss.

But for a street jeep or even typ off road XJ the 3 row should be nice.
