Has anyone installed one in an XJ with a manual tranny? I purchased a CSF radiator thru Radiatorbarn for my 88XJ manual 4.0L. The item I received is not a direct replacement. It has a permanently attached metal tube (~1/4 inch) coming from underneath the bottom hose orifice. My OEM radiator does have a plug in this location, but the Radiatorbarn item does not allow removal of the tube. Anyone know this tube is for? Any ideas as to how to adequately plug this line (JB Weld, etc)? There are also three threaded posts (for the radiator support beam) where my original radiator has two. This can be fixed if 2 of the 3 posts match the OEM placement.
I have sent a note to Radiator barn with my problems. As luck would have it, they are closed until Monday, and my XJ sits in pieces in the garage.
