radiatorbarn.com

aluminum radiators with plastic tanks tend to leak if they're too cheap. just my two cents

Holy ˟˟˟˟ dude that is too weird. I am in the middle of looking for a new radiator as we speak. Summit has a one row radiator for $86.95 and Autozone has a two row for $135.99
This one is a two row and looks decent. Actually, I may be buying one myself.....Good find, I say go for it

Don't really see that happening. This one is pretty cheap, and nothing wrong with aftermarket. I'm wanting to upgrade to an electric fan....free up some horses

That question will get you a lot of mixed revues, imho there great for what they are that being a cheap way to gain alittle lift. Others will tell you they're hard on cv axles, bj, etc, and they probably are but lifting a ifs truck is pricey so whats the cost difference. I have them in my runner but can't give an honest opinion becouse I haven't drove it since I installed them, I will say a lot of people run them and love them.

I run them...and I think they're fine for what I need(couple inches lift, relaxing of the T-bars a bit and a lil more flex..... But I also have the Mega Travel Bj's). I also installed the diff drop, to relax the angle of the CV's a bit.... it did do that. Also cheap.

The only way to really get 'GOOD' flex out of these is to widen/separate, like TC Long Travel...... At that point, you're NOT talking cheap any more, at all! lol. BUT, if you want to get air, flex that IFS out a bit, ....... but not go SFA...then it's worth the cost of the TC for them.

I think Ian has one... but we'll have to see if he stops by. I know it's in the FSM/Haynes and Chiltons..... Most any Manual like that will have wiring Diagrams of every wire in the rig...... Don't have my Haynes in front of me, otherwise I'd check the page for ya. I would just hit the FSM and head into the appropriate section and you'll find it.

Hope all is well.
