Does anyone know where I can find a GDI 3 row radiator for my 89 xj? Im trying to convert it to a open system instead of the stock closed system. Im havin too many overheating probs with the current radiator.
 
IMHO - 2 or 3 row will do the same job -either way it'll be better than what you have - but buy all metal - not aluminum with plastic tanks - then either fix and maintain the closed system you have or switch to open (that will make a difference in which year radiator to order).

Making the swap is easy, cost around $225 to replace everything. If you swap to an open system you'll have make some changes to how your elec. fan is activated. To get a radiator WITH a neck and cap you'll lose the temp switch bung (91 and up).
