So i will be putting my original alloy rad in and see how it goes
I really only have issues when towing
As for the 3 core rad, who wants it?
The adrad rad has more tubes so is more efficient but yes its pretty flimsy hence why ive had it repaired many times

Anyone using the 3core all alloy radiator??

I really wanted to go with the all alloy HD radiator. But when I was investigating, I couldn't get any hard answers. Lots of bad raps in the US. They blame the flex in the unibody for work hardening the alloy. ???? Causing failures.
I put it in the too hard basket.

Cheers

Yeah ive seen the bad too
But they also say the tyres i bought are shit and they arent...
I need to do something that doesnt involve burning money like usual.
Id rather not let the jeep thing win.

3 months without problems. Had to change the tabs on the bottom over as they were LHD. Quick grind and tig weld sorted that out.

What temps you running at?
Have you done any towing or extreme labouring?

[XJeepers]

Low to mid 90's in traffic (high 80's on the highway on cooler days).

Mid to high 90's slow crawling on 36 degree day, but mostly mid 90's.

The Adrad radiator held water about as good as seive despite the recommendations from the so called experts.....

I think either my stat is stuck open or the temp sensor is farkd as the temps don't seem to be going over 83 the lat couple of days.

can you get the more solid radiator re cored with more rows locally ? may cost more but save in the long run.

No towing, but handled crawling on a 36 degree day no problem.
