Leaky Radiator
« on: December 30, 2009, 09:38:42 AM »
So the radiator on my TJ appears to be leaking along the top. Can this be fixed or is it better to replace? Can I replace it with a used one or should I consider an upgrade?

if it has plastic tanks (most stock radiators on late models do) they\'re usually not worth repairing.  I\'d suggest a replacement from RockAuto personally.  Most likely the cheapest option for a new part.

dont upgrade unless you have had overheating problems with the current size rad.
the stock ones seem like good size.
