Recommendations on radiators?!

[Dirteatr717]

Welp my radiator decided to crap out on me right after I empty my bank account for Christmas :roll: Where should I buy a new one from and should I bother with a fancy 3core?

 

TIA -Nick

I buy mine from Radiator Barn (http://www.radiatorbarn.com/). Competitive prices, free shipping, but best of all - METAL endtanks! Unfortunately, I don't see non-3 row all-metal radiators listed for Renix-era 4.0L's, but if you've already converted to the open system, then there is an all-metal 2 row radiator listed.

I plan on staying with the closed system, I'm not going to fix something that's not broken :D

Are there any downfalls to a 3core besides costing a little more?

I have had good luck with Performance Radiator, they are all over the US. (http://performanceradiator.com/locations.php)

I used a 3 core GDI back in the day when every forum on the planet had group buys on them.

 

LOVED the 3 core. Just make sure you get all metal, not one with plastic sides.

 

Its worth the extra $75 in the long run.

 

Only cheap out if you plan on selling soon.

+1 on radiator barn...

Put one in the TJ a few years ago.

Good prices and good quality.

I Think DPG still has all metal radiators for Renix MJ's.

800-radiator or radiatorbarn (I even got a shirt from them) depending on cost at the time. (we use 800 radiator through work and get a deep discount)

 

PS: You can use the '91+ rad in the Renix closed system by just adding a cap and a reservoir (I wire tied a pop bottle in with a drilled hole in the lid and a hose)

I just run down to the autoparts store and pick one up. Paid 120 for the last one I bought. (98 XJ)

Purchased a three core for the '89 and a two core for the '94 from Radiatorbarn.

 

Never had a problem with either one, fast shipping. When they were out-of-stock on the three core, I called them and they gave me a hard in stock date...and met it.
