PSA: Mopar radiator (55037652AA) has been discontinued as of late October, 2022

Well, to be precise - the radiator is a cooler, not a chiller…

🙂

The coolest cooler

I picked up my new radiator a few hours ago. On the way home, I stopped and got 2 gallons of G-05 coolant (NOT 50/50) and a couple gallons of distilled water. I plan on swapping tomorrow.

What else would you all suggest I do along with the radiator swap?

Last time I swapped radiators was only about 5 years ago. At that time, I also installed new upper and lower radiator hoses. They both still seem to be in great shape, so I'm wasn't planning on doing those. I'm on my 2nd thermostat which I swapped about 8 years ago. Should I do a new one now? Heater hoses? Water pump? I'm not having any cooling issues.

Suggestions appreciated.

Installed the new radiator today. All went well, as expected. Now to find a spare after you guys have snatched them all up. I probably should have waited a couple days to post this. 😉

Did you replace with Mopar or aftermarket? I’m in a bind right now and it looks like the quickest I can get a Mopar is over a month away. This won’t work. If you did get Mopar where did you get yours from? Thanks
 
Anyone ever have any luck determining who made the OEM Mopar radiator? So many clones out there that look near identical.
 
This really makes me happy I already replaced mine and kept the old because it wasn’t leaking.. could have gotten by with just a evporust flush and been fine…

My guess would be Magneti Marelli. One of the Mopar sites has a spot to order but you have to order a pallet of 25 and says it's Magnetti Marelli. It's discontinued too though. Pretty sure I remember they also made my heater core
 

What is the difference between OEM MOPAR radiator 55037653....AA....AB and AC.?
