Thank you. Can you tell me what the benefits would be of going with the newer model radiator?

your 88 cherokee has a "closed" cooling system, and 95 is when they switched over to the open cooling system which is much more reliable and trouble free.
BleepinJeep has a great how-to on converting from closed to open. It doesn't cost that much and it is a fairly simple swap you can do in the driveway with basic hand tools. I would take the time and do the conversion if you plan on keeping your rig for a while.

Thank you, I have a great Jeep guy and I'm sure he's told me but I probably didn't pay attention and he doesn't like to repeat himself so I didn't want to ask again. Thanks again.

If he's great, start making it a point to pay attention. LOL. And we're here to fall back on.
