Thought I would throw this out there to you all.
I have had problems with keeping my 92 XJ cool. Couldn't run the A/C because it would head toward the red end of the spectrum and ideling in traffic would cause it to do the same. All in all, it just wasn't cutting it.

I started with the inexpensive things, flushed the radiator, changed the thermostat, no help. So I broke down and ordered a three core HD Off road rad from Radiator. com. It showed up the next day, I installed it and what do ya know, now, it has a rough time hitting 210 with the A/C on pulling a 1/2 ton trailer in traffic.

It wasn't an expensive investment $165.00 w/shipping.

There ya go, hope this helps someone out there with their cooling concerns.:repair:

Well, what can I say, some times you get good deals on e-bay and some times you don't. I have had some unfortunate dealings with e-bay so I tend to stay clear. Good to see that there are still deals to be made out there...
I have no complaints, love how my jeep is running much cooler.
