OEM radiator is pretty much the best one to get unless you can get something purpose built like a Griffin one. Stick with OE everything if you can. It will be expensive but worth it.

Thanks for the feedback!

Any thoughts on the Mishimoto OEM replacement? Seems to have good reviews and it’s almost half the price of the Mopar OEM radiator.

 

AFE Blade Runners are well liked. The street series is $388. GT is more ($890), but larger and includes the hoses. My 2016 runs slightly cooler with the GT than it did with the original.

 

Thanks for the feedback! Even $388 may be a bit outside my budget but I’ll keep that in mind. Thanks!

 

If you do a search here, you'll find mishimoto isn't that great in our Jeeps.

Oh ok gotcha. Good to know! Thanks for that! So stick with the Mopar OEM replacement then?

 

Any other relatively inexpensive OEM replacement radiators anyone would recommend besides Mopar? Is the Crown one any good? Anything else I should consider?

 

rockauto has wrangler radiators starting at $100

I replaced mine with UAC RA2957C

The non-Mopar OEM radiators are made just like the Mopars, not worth spending the extra $ in my opinion.

So I ended up going with a radiator that my friend who is a master mechanic with BMW was able to order through his parts department (through a company they use for non OEM parts) - and he even helped me install it last night. Thankful to be driving my Jeep again and not worrying about that issue.

Thank you again to everyone who provided feedback - it helped point me in the right direction!
