Salvage Yard Radiator Options

[odevalech]

Hello everybody. I recently blew the radiator in my 05 TJ RME. I’ve on foot for two weeks and need to get myself back on road ASAP as this is impacting my income. I’m curious of anyone knows of any other vehicle that used or radiator part number? There are not any “Wrangler Yards” in Oklahoma that I know of so I’m looking for something I can find that will work temporarily while I’m putting the funds together for a correct, new replacement.

Anything, even a cross reference website to check party numbers would be sick!

Thanks for all you’re help!!

That's gonna be a tough one to answer.

I was going to suggest that your best bet would be to take some measurements of what you have, draw it on cardboard and take it with you to the junkyard but AFAIK radiators with the tanks at the top and bottom haven't been used by many, if any, vehicles for quite a while.

Go to car-part.com and find it.

I looked and several within 10 miles of 73008

Keep the cost of a cheap one in mind, it may or may not be worth it if a $100 gets you going and the donor vehicles are iffy…

Denso and CFS are the two aftermarket replacements people here are going with.

I’ve already priced rock auto.. I’m ordering their radiator as soon as money allows. My issue is that money is tied to vehicle, vehicle not running, money not available. With kids, wife, household expenses, etc. created perfect storm to be broke down penniless temporarily. Just trying to find something that will be a temp fix until I can get a new one here.

Try RockAuto, eBay, or Amazon for cross-reference info. You might find a temp fix from another Jeep model or even a Ford Ranger. Good luck!
