I had a tank develop a crack on my stock XJ radiator this weekend, its got 230K miles on it so its probably time anyways lol.
I have zero cooling problems as is even with the leak. But I figured its as good a time as any to go ahead and upgraded since I will have it apart. Hell its about the only thing I haven't upgraded in the last 8 years of owning this thing. I want a bolt in setup that has the proper hookups for the auto trans cooler. I found DPG offroad has the CSF 3 rows for $209 is that the best thing out there right now? Local parts store listed a 2 core no name brand for the same cost.
ANy idea on what would cause the stock rad to get "soft". I noticed the nipple for the overflow tank had broken off a few weeks ago. Bieng a cheapass I opted to repair it, when I went to dig the broken piece out of the hose it just fell apart. I bet I could scratch a hole in this radiator with my fingernail. I have never seen that before?
Thanks for any info!
