I would highly recommend replacing the AC condenser while you have the radiator out. If it dirty the new rad isn't going to breathe as well. I would also highly recommend flushing out the whole engine and heater core so you don't clog up the new rad. Just my two cents.

For future reference, the radiator hose clamps are 8mm or 5/16". A socket and 1/4" driver works well for these. Just did this upgrade to my 95 XJ. Got mine on Amazon for $107.00. Also mine is a manual transmission. Great job as usual. God bless, stay well. I also removed my airbox to give better access to the lower hose.

Today I had to take out the radiator from my Cherokee 4L 2001 for replacement and it was the original 20 years of service man. Those years are gone, now you buy anything and doesn't last a shit. Excuse my language. I learned a lot from you and it makes so much easier for repairs or to go to a mechanic and understand what he's telling me. Thanks 👍keep the great job.

Pretty good lighting and coverage with tool information. Another good thing is that you did not add any background or lead in music that can be annoying. I have yet to do this for my girlfriends '89 XJ that I will be adding a drain valve with a length of hose. In doing this I'll be able to drain and change the coolant as needed into a receiving container. I did this previously on the '97 ZJ LTD and it has made coolant system work so much easier. Thank you for the great coverage on this topic. :)

Hey what’s going on brother... I lucked out when I bought my XJ it had already been replaced with the aluminum one great video Thank you for sharing...☮️

Should’ve done this when you did the t-stat and water pump then go ahead and do the hoses, tensioner pulley as well. If you’re getting an older used vehicle just go ahead and do everything Rated at same time.. do all cooking at once. Do all braking at once.. will save you a lot of time and money in the long run and will help when a problem occurs to not be constantly chasing ill crap vs new crap. While you’re at it now would also be the time to replace fans if needed as well as transmission cooler

can you tell me where you find the fiting for the cooling oil transmission

Best vid yet. Tnx

Great video ! Thanks !

Got the same radiator to install in 97xj- anybody have an issue with the bottom transmission cooler fitting? The quickconnect on the line doesnt want to clear the fitting bumpout

You don't need to remove the T30 bolts. It will come out as one.

Have you posted a video on how to replace the oil pan gasket? Currently looking through. Own a 2001 Jeep Cherokee 4x4 4.0 automatic and I MUST do these things before driving across the country: -oil pan gasket -oil filter housing adapter gasket -valve cover gasket

Need to do this in the near future. In regards to the radiator and amount of rows, what do you suggest? I currently have a factory one that needs changing. And do you have any vids on installing a transmission cooler? Thanks! Great vid as always!

@5:49, Did you transfer the quick disconnect from the old radiator? The quick disconnect on my jeep is leaking and needs to be replaced. But I can't find a part number for it. Thanks for the video Austin!

Attached to the engine in front, behind the belt, is there a gasket or rubber seal? I’m leaking coolant like a crazy person.

Why dont you have more subscribers your channel is good

Four years later… to the best of your knowledge how has this radiator held up?

Need help, where can i order the new fitting for transmission line? For both top and bottom, mine was siezed

Can you give an update on this radiator?

Awesome

Where can I get that lower transmission cooler fitting?

Austin, thanks for the great video. Helped a lot when i overhauled and beefed up my cooling system. Ordered this same rad from blackhorse racing on ebay and it works as you described (never touch 210F). The one thing i ran into was i had to transfer the old trans cooler fittings over to the new radiator as the included fittings were the wrong size. How did you shim up the radiator at the bottom mounts? Mine does sit low in the frame by about 1/2”-3/4” since the new rad has mount pins welded to the bottom and the factory lower radiator insulators would not transfer over...

Do you fixed isolators? How you doing it?

Does anyone know where i can get those fittings on there own.

Bought this same radiator from a different vendor and now my 1999 Xj sport runs at 210 and sometimes spikes over that driving on the San Diego freeways... I replaced the fan clutch, thermostat, hoses, water pump and no improvement. My jeep ran at perfect temperature before this radiator but the old one leaked. I do not approve of this radiator at all and you can't grasp how pissed I am. Now I need to replace my new radiator.

I've heard nothing but problems with this rad to be honest lol I believe rusty411 made a video on it not too long ago

Was there ever a video for an upgraded electric fan assembly? Or anyone have a suggestion for one? My OEM replacements keep failing. I have the exact same radiator and I'm overheating when I'm idling. My electric fan isn't coming on unless I turn my air conditioning on.

what’s the coolant capacity

I'm changing out mine Ina 98 zj. This was perfect thank you. I noticed you have a ground wire from battery to cross member. What's up with that?

I need a aluminum one now. I wanna get one next Friday. But what would happen with the over flow would that still be the same?

How is holding up after 4 years??

Hey my radiator didn’t come with any of those fittings, more specifically the quick disconnect. I’m having so much trouble finding the correct one that’s ours thread right into the spot. Any idea or place you can get that fitting? Thanks

Did the fittings you had to use to connect the transmission cooler lines back to the radiator come With the radiator? I ordered the same Radiator And cannot find those fittings for the life of me. Do you have any suggestions?

How has this radiator been holding up? I may order this same one soon. Did it come with the transmission fittings?

So has it helped after 3 years? Any problems? Extra ideas ?

I live in so hot state, Do you recommend it ?

Where did you get the trans cooling line fittings?

How is this radiator holding up?

How about the eBay part # for the radiator, I want one!

Ok what tool do i need for the quick release?

Hey is the aluminum radiator still doing good I’m thinking about purchasing one

what size nut is used on AC/Condenser ?

please tell me where u got those fittings

Hey how long did the radiator last you would like your feedback please

Is the radiator still holding up so far?

How is the radiator holding up?

Would you still recommend to buy

Whats the word been holding up ?? Or

not to play the bad guy but i would have replaced the radiator rubber mounts with new one's for less chance the radiator failing added a trans. cooler hooked up to the radiator because of cold winter's off road in the summer can be hard on the cooling system and trans. radiator out was good time to do it all hoses etc. to C😎😎L

Wow!!!Let us know how this $123.00 radiator holds up....

Is this a direct fit, with zero fabrication? Other than the rad cap? And is it worth it over the oem?

How is this radiator holding up? is it keeping your jeep cool? I'm needing to replace mine and want to go with a 3 row

Thats not the AC condenser. He used an impact on the aluminum radiator studs 🤣🤣🤣

What year is that jeep?

Whatever you do don't buy a flex a lite, overpriced junk. Mine made it less than 10k before it started leaking. My old Auto Zone plastic tank radiator with a lifetime warranty I've been through 2 in 11years and 180k miles. That's what I'm putting back in it tomorrow. F#$@ flexalite.
