So this is likely all on me, I have a 1995 4.0 L AW4 auto Jeep, no real mods other than lifted 3" ish inches and 33" tires.
The radiator that was in the Jeep (replaced by Previous Owner) was a fairly nice looking radiator, all metal and heavy duty looking. It got a hole in the core and efforts to repair it did not work.
In 2015 I replaced the radiator with a Spectra Premium CU1193 which now after further research is a single row. My old radiator was likely a double.
Well never had a problems with overheating to the point of boil over until this year and some of the drives going up the Canyon pushed it over the second white line. Thinking the fan clutch could be going out as that is often It I replaced it with the Grand Cherokee HD one.
Just today Jeep had a similar over heat issue and think that It has to come down to the crappy radiator.
So looking for a 2 row, or a better radiator. The reason I went with the one I got (the Spectra) was I needed one quick, a hole in it is a little harder to work with than one that just does not have enough capacity to cool.
also was trying to be some what budget conscious and with minimal mods to over push the jeep I would have though road driving a "standard" radiator would have been more than enough. Guess not.
So Recommendations? What is the best 2 row radiator to use (or any row radiator that can handle the heat of the 4.0L in 110F weather) when still using the stock cooling fans.
Thanks! :wave:
