I’m proud of that thing I do need to do something to protect it though. These things you put in the window I swear by, just like deer whistles. It keeps the cab atleast 20* degrees cooler all the while protecting your dash from those UV RAYS man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89 MJ Posted July 20, 2021 Author Share Posted July 20, 2021 I could do that. No more PA for me. Radiator decided it was not going to play along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

89 MJ Posted August 4, 2021 Author Share Posted August 4, 2021 Special delivery! Side note, this appears to be a very well made product. Excellent looking welds and the lifetime warranty will be nice. It dropped right in, as it should, and seemed much lighter than my OEM one. A new fan clutch, heater hoses, and coolant recovery bottle for a 2.5 are on the way! I strongly considered the Cold Case product, but this one had more reviews and they were more helpful, so I decided to go this route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiNi Beast Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Should of went that route 2 radiators ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I never want to deal with this again, so this is what we wound up with. Maybe you need one in yours. That said, yours did make it to PA… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiNi Beast Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 I have a aluminum radiator in mine. Only got hot in the tunnel on way back. I need new head or rebuild engine for that matter. My issues have mostly been due to the motor mounts shifting and putting clutch fan into radiator. No longer an issue 😌 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howeitsdone Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Which model did you end up going with? I was looking at the MMRAD-XJ-89 but thinking the one may be overkill for my application. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 2012 GC is on it's 3rd radiator and 3rd water pump. I went with lesser products for the 1st replacement and paid the price, both literally and figuratively. I'll keep following to see how it goes!

89 MJ Posted August 11, 2021 Author Share Posted August 11, 2021 New radiator in and we are ready for the road. We let the truck idle for probably 15 minutes and turned on the AC for a few of those minutes, it never crossed 210. I also got my collector plate. In WI, the collector plate numbers are way over 200,000 at this point, but I got number 45242 from my grandma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89 MJ Posted August 11, 2021 Author Share Posted August 11, 2021 Took the truck for a 30 minute town, country, and interstate drive today. It stayed pretty happy and ran at about 195 (I’d estimate from looking at the temp gauge) tue whole time with the AC on max. Outside temp was around 90 and super humid.

89 MJ Posted August 21, 2021 Author Share Posted August 21, 2021 Today we used the truck to move some of the generator lights to our local baseball field for the Army Golden Knights nighttime jump. Very cool experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
