Over time, plastic end tanks become brittle from constant thermal cycling under the hood, leading to hairline cracks and sudden coolant loss. Furthermore, the factory single or dual-row cores lack the internal surface area required to dissipate heat effectively when engine airflow is restricted during low-speed crawling or heavy towing. This results in severe heat soak, elevated coolant temperatures, and an increased risk of premature engine failure, particularly in the 4.0L AMC inline-six which runs notoriously hot under load.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \n  \u003ch3\u003eThe Engineering Solution\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eUpgrading to this 3-row performance radiator resolves these thermal management issues through superior material science and core design. Constructed entirely from TIG-welded AA5052 aircraft-grade aluminum, it eliminates the failure-prone plastic crimped tanks. The 2mm thick aluminum end tanks ensure structural rigidity against trail vibrations and extreme system pressures. Internally, the brazed core features an optimized tube-and-fin design with cooling rows spaced just 3\/8\" apart. Combined with a dense louvered fin count of 14-16 fins per inch, this configuration yields approximately 1500 more fins than standard aftermarket replacements, resulting in a 30% to 45% increase in cooling efficiency. The expanded fluid capacity drastically reduces temperature spikes in high-stress applications, keeping your powertrain well within its ideal thermal threshold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \n  \u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003ctable width=\"100%\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFitment\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e1987-2006 Jeep Wrangler\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEngine \/ Chassis\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e2.4L PowerTech, 2.5L AMC, 4.0L AMC \/ YJ, TJ, LJ\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStock Output\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e120-190 hp \/ 140-235 lb-ft (Approx)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart Number\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003eN\/A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/table\u003e\n \n  \u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e1997-2002 Jeep Wrangler SE 4Cyl 2.5L 150CID\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e2003-2004 Jeep Wrangler SE 4Cyl 2.4L 148CID\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e2005-2006 Jeep Wrangler SE 4Cyl 2.4L 148CID\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e2006 Jeep Wrangler SE 6Cyl 4.0L 242CID\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e1997-2004 Jeep Wrangler Sport 6Cyl 4.0L 242CID\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e2005-2006 Jeep Wrangler Sport 6Cyl 4.0L 242CID\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e1997-2004 Jeep Wrangler Sahara 6Cyl 4.0L 242CID\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e2002-2004 Jeep Wrangler X 6Cyl 4.0L 242CID\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e2003-2004 Jeep Wrangler X 6Cyl 4.0L 241CID\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e2005-2006 Jeep Wrangler X 6Cyl 4.0L 241CID \/ 242CID\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e2003-2004 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 6Cyl 4.0L 241CID \/ 242CID\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e2005-2006 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 6Cyl 4.0L 241CID \/ 242CID\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e2004 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited 6Cyl 4.0L 242CID\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e2005-2006 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited 6Cyl 4.0L 242CID\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e2005-2006 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon 6Cyl 4.0L 242CID\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e2006 Jeep Wrangler 65th Anniversary Edition 6Cyl 4.0L 242CID\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePlease Note: This radiator's upper hose is located on the Passenger Side, and the bottom hose is located on the Driver Side.
