Spectra Premium CU1193 Radiator With TOC Compatible With Jeep Cherokee and Comanche

I used this in my manual transmission Cherokee XJ. It has the extra fittings for the transmission cooler which the manual XJ doesn't need. However this is good for me as I might use it as part of a power steering cooler (although I already have a small one).This is a direct replacement for my old radiator. Amazon shipped this in a HUGE box. I thought there was a bathtub in there. Then inside the box is the manufacturers box which was protected b/c of the Styrofoam. In short, no way would this come to you damaged.I haven't had it on too long but It appears to be well made. My old one 'started' to fail where the plastic end tank hits the core. My understanding is that there is an o-ring there that can tend to shrink and get brittle with time. My old radiator had 142K miles on it and was actually still functional with a slight leak, if this lasts 1/2 that time I'd be very pleased.One thing i will note, you can see in the picture of the radiator there are two vertical metal slats that run downwards. This was not present on the factory unit.This made it more challenging to re install my ZJ Clutch Fan (Thicker than Stock) and my power steering cooler/electric fan combo. I thought about cutting the slats, but some cursing helped.Last Update: Note this is an aluminum core radiator.

Went to start up my Jeep Cherokee, started puking coolant, turns out my existing radiator had cracked right where the lower radiator hose goes in. Ordered this based on the reviews. Changed it out, install went smooth. Fired up the Jeep, kept topping off the coolant, all is well. This one fit PERFECTLY in place of the previous one. It was about 19f outside when I did the radiator, thankfully Jeep's are cake to work on. I've had this for a little over a year in my Cherokee, 1 (New England) and a half (NY) winters and 15,000 miles later 0 issues with leaks or anything. This one tends to hold up better when it hits bugs and rocks on the motorway. GREAT PRODUCT!

It’s was easy to put in and is still working no leaks Quality made I’m happy

Fits great and works like stock if not better. Only issue I had was the drain plug was broken. Either in shipping or from manufacturer. Kinda having trouble finding the thing drain plug. Stock won’t fit.

I will agree with others: I was totally blown away with the exactness of fit. I've been working on cars for 50+ years and I can not recall a better fit from an after-market part. I was expecting to have to remove the upper and lower mounting brackets from the old radiator and install (and align!) them on the new radiator. Not needed; the new radiator came with brackets already installed AND CORRECTLY ALIGNED for a perfect, drop-in fit. Also, the angle of the transmission cooler fitting was pointing in exactly the correct direction. The water inlet and outlet ports were exactly the correct length; didn't interfere with anything. So far, the radiator is working great; no more overheating in my '99 Cherokee. Bottom line: i wish all replacement auto parts fit and performed this well. Also, the cost is very reasonable. (Replacement OEM radiators cost well over $200!!)

Radiator appears to be of high quality. Well packaged. Not damaged in shipment. Easy replacement with common hand tools and average skill. System was flushed, radiator installed, and coolant replaced with recommended 50/50 mix. Worked well when first installed but has developed several leaks within the first 1000 miles of use. Auto is a 2001 Jeep Cherokee Sport, driven occasionally on weekends to get project materials from one of the big box stores. Have purchased Spectrum products before and have not experienced any issues. Caveat Emptor!

Worked out great

It fit the frame, etc. well, but the hole for the temperature sensor was smaller than the stock temp sensor; had to convert to a temperature sensor for a 1991 Jeep. Doesn't come with a radiator cap. Also had to add an overflow reservoir. But no leaks and seems to work well so far.
