Product Details

This CSF radiator is built with a 3-row, 46mm heavy-duty copper core, a design choice that significantly increases the surface area for heat dissipation compared to stock. It's specifically made to fit your 1987-2004 Jeep Wrangler YJ and TJ models, whether they have an automatic or manual transmission, offering a true drop-in fit without needing any modifications. CSF has been making radiators for over 50 years, and this model is a favorite for Jeep owners who want to keep the original style but get better performance and a more durable part.

The construction features single-piece, deep-drawn brass tanks that are ribbed for extra strength, helping them withstand the vibrations and chassis flex common when off-roading. The tubes themselves have double lock seam joints for a long service life, and the side channels are made of coated steel for added durability. Every radiator is assembled with torqued and tested components, and each one undergoes a 100% leak test at 150% of operating pressure before it leaves the factory. This attention to detail ensures you get a reliable cooling system that can handle everything from daily driving to demanding trail use.

This radiator is designed to maintain OEM cooling performance while offering enhanced durability. It's a solid option if you're looking to replace an old, worn-out radiator or want to upgrade your Jeep's cooling system for more demanding conditions.
