Plastic or "real" radiator on 95 ZJ 4.0 Limited
 

Am hoping that the few spotlets of anti-freeze directly
under the radiator may be just from the recent flush...

However, if it ain't, does the '95 ZJ 4.0 use a real radiator
or one of those !#@@#$ plastic things?

If it is leaking and it is at all plastic, will a 3 row
aluminum fit on a 4.0 that has the transmission cooler in
addition to the A/C stuck out front of the thing?

Donkeyshines in advance for answers.

The tranny and A/C fit to seperate braces so it should.

These folks have one, never used them though.

Yeah, that was the one thinking of.

Good news is that it doesn't seem to be dripping any more, and the
a/freeze was just replaced, have fingers crossed it is just sloppage
and not seepage. At least crossed enough to put it off until
next weekend....

Thnkz.

The 94 ZJ uses a metal core with plastic end caps. The sign of trouble
is where the core is crimped on to the caps. Corrosion starts pushing
the metal crimp tabs off the plastic. Photos of replacement are at
http://photos.yahoo.com/ononcg. It is a 4 hour job and fairly simple.
New belt or water pump if shot would be good while you are at it.
