I walked in the living room this afternoon and this was sitting there. My wife said it must have been in the cart when she clicked 'buy'. If it lasts 20 years I'll be happy.

Where can I find a new Mopar radiator?

I had to replace my radiator (2006 4.0 automatic) about 6 months ago. I wanted the cooling line from the trans to fit in the same kind of fitting the orginal radiator had. I had trouble finding a radiator that had the same fittings so I went to a Jeep dealer here in Albuquerque, NM, CASA Jeep. I was able to order
the OEM radiator. It took about 6 weeks to get here and cost me $500 plus. It was exactly like the original, had the trans-line fittings installed with new clips. Took time and was expensive but I'm glad I was able to order it.

Only 33k on my LJ but sooner or later I'll need a t-stat and no way I'd remember this link. Ordered for my stash (OPDA, etc) and hope to be able to find it when needed.
Holding off on a new radiator.
You'll find it when needed. If you're like me there are large storage containers full of parts somewhat organized. I'm sometimes surprised what I find in them, but thankful I kept just about everything I took or cut off my rig and the other two I have. I've given away a fair amount too, which is always nice to be able to do!

Any idea why the aftermarket world hasn’t made an all aluminum replacement that will fit?
Seems like if I can buy one for a ‘73 Camaro, or a ‘66 Chevelle, then I ought to be able to find one for an early 2000’s Jeep.

I carefully installed a Denso recently and filled it up. Ran it for 10 minutes and it started leaking. Not sure if I got a dud or they are just junk. Others on Amazon said they had the same issue. Someone in a different forum mentioned this one as being suitable https://newparts.com/product/nissens/60993
Anyone have experience with it?

I purchased and installed the recommended radiator from RockAuto. I paid $128.28 for delivery to North Texas.
DENSO | 2219234 (221-9234) |
No issues with the installation, everything lined up perfectly. I have driven 50 miles since the replacement. Time will tell, just thought I would update the group. Thanks to everyone who responded with input and guidance.

They do. They come in two categories. (1) Affordable and held together with so much glue that they don't work, or (2), so expensive that nobody will pay that much for it.
You also need to understand that a '73 Camaro or a '66 Chevelle doesn't take the pounding that a Jeep will. A Jeep radiator needs to be able to flex just a bit.
