Alternatives to Mopar radiator?

[Mrholland]

I appreciate your motivation, search technique and willingness to share those links, and if I'm able to verify the part number you listed I will likely buy "some" of those radiators. However, my above post stating the product on the website shared by another member is, still discontinued.

Happy to know some still may be available!

I dread the inevitable day when factory parts become unavailable

Why do we deal with this crap??? I have had 3 C3 Corvettes 2 1980’s and an 81 with factory radiators.

I have had 5 TJ’s/LJ’s all needed radiators … I bought an 06 rubicon, unlimited, dual top, bone stock, factory tires even (aka unicorn) back in 09 with 14k miles, dang thing needed a radiator shortly after I got it.

Just a comparison … I did find a radiator I plan on ordering after I do my heater core;

American Made
All aluminum
Pressed tanks
No epoxy
Heavy gauge
1 row or 2 row

If this lasts as long as my Old Chevy brass radiator, I’ll be happy. Lol.

PS: I have replaced factory radiators with stock replacement and always HD fan clutches … I’ve seen elevated temperatures after the swap. You can’t tell me it’s the louder and stronger HD clutch caused that, lol. But Mopar radiator does cool measurably better than the store junk, done back to back.

just bought a Nissen - works/fits fine although clearance to steering on full offside lock is close
