RADIATOR

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I had a customer bring in a M38a1 to my shop.  Radiator is junk.  He has a 4.3 in it.  Any recomendations on a good replacement.  Want to determine if factory style radiator is sufficient to cool a 4.3 or would I be better off with an aftermarket.  Thanks for the input.

	I had a M38 with a Buick V6 and the original radiator did fine. Quality brass core replacements are expensive. Many have used the aluminum radiators, perhaps someone with a 4.3 in their Jeep will see this and report on what they use.
	If you can't get there in a Jeep you don't need to be there!
