What should I get? Aluminum? Brass? 3 core? 4 core? Its for an 97 XJ. Tried to search it but my phone app didn't bring any thing up! Thanks for any help!

 

Help please!

 

I got mine f yet om napa. Runs cooler than ice now. O well $120 is cool for me if it makes 2 yrs

 

I bought a 3 row rad from radiatorbarn.com. all metal design. Highly recommend it. But if I did it over I would go 2 row probably. This one now, its winter, is over cooling. Not a bad thing...just now that's its cold it runs very cool. Had to put some card board in the grill. During the summer the hottest days, 100+ degrees, it was around 210. And didnt go much above that unless I hammered on it. And they aren't much more then what you can get at any parts store. But they will last much longer from what I have heard and read.

 

i got a 3 row core from advance auto and it runs alot cooler

 

Got an aluminum 2 row off ebay for $55 but it had a hole and it was a nightmare to try to return. Had no problems other than that

 

Go to this website! They are the best I've found, two row aluminum works good for most apps.

I did the same. but I have never had over cooling but this has been a warm summer so who knows. the reason I went with the 3 row was for the 5.3 swap I plan on doing. but its doing great for my 4.0 as of now. id definitely go with the 3 row If i were you

 

I got my 3 row from radiatorbarn.com also. It's the way to go, no problems, fit great, and works even better.

 

THANKS for all the Help guys. If I get a 3 core can I use my stock fans?

 

I got a stock one from Advance Auto .... Cost me $80 and have no cooling issues.

 

Yes, stock fans will still work with thr three row from radiator barn. I too bought this radiator and it works great. I would recommend it over an oem aluminium replacement.

 

Stock fans will work. There is still clearace. I actually plan on taking out my mechanical fan for a nice electric fan. And with the 3 row rad working as good as it does I should have no problems with it. That's something to think about too.

 

I have a 3 row from 1-800-radiator. XJ runs much cooler off road now.

 

Just ordered a 3 core from Radiatorbarn Thanks guys
