Radiator for Jeep Cherokee (2014-2018) 2.4L 3.2L

Direct-Fit All-Aluminum Radiator for 2014-2018 Jeep Cherokee

What it Does: The all-aluminum performance radiator replaces the failure-prone factory cooling core on the 2014-2018 Jeep Cherokee to lower coolant temperatures, enhance thermal dissipation, and prevent high-load overheating.

The Stock Jeep Cherokee Thermal Degradation and Plastic Tank Failure

The OEM cooling unit in the KL Cherokee relies on crimped plastic end tanks paired with a thin, single-row aluminum core. Over repeated thermal cycles, vibrations from off-road washboards and daily highway operation cause the plastic composite end tanks to embrittle, hairline crack, and blow the crimped rubber tank-to-core seals. Furthermore, under demanding trail ascents, heavy payload hauling, or sustained high ambient temperatures, the factory core's restricted fluid volume and modest fin density allow rapid heat soak, limiting the cooling capacity of both the 2.4L Tigershark and 3.2L Pentastar powertrains.

The Engineering Solution

This upgraded performance unit features an all-aluminum construction utilizing high-efficiency, brazed tube-and-fin core architecture. Aircraft-grade aluminum end tanks are 100% precision TIG-welded directly to the dual-row core, eliminating failure-prone crimped gaskets entirely. The high-capacity 2-row design significantly increases internal coolant fluid volume and core surface contact area. Augmented louvered aluminum fins maximize heat rejection efficiency under low-speed crawl and high-RPM load conditions without impeding airflow to the A/C condenser or transmission cooler. Designed with factory-aligned inlet/outlet ports and OE mounting brackets, it bolts in directly without cutting or chassis modification.
