Installed Cold Case Radiator

[Old Dogger]

anecdotal. JK’s are so commonly failing that they completely ran out of stock in all major brands in the past 2 years.

Yep, that problem with defective radiators, started in 2014 and continued through 2015. Plus some in later years. But as my post stated, never a issue on our part. We have had a 2013 JKR, 2016 JKRUHR, and a 2018 JLR. Plus Jeeps prior to. The Forum that I spent close to 10 years in and moderated for about five years, had about 435K members. I have seen these members try just about every brand of radiator available. Non of them lasted any longer, and in most cases didn’t last as long as the original OEM. So I am basing my statement on what I have experienced, plus what others have tried.

All radiators are pretty bad. We have good luck with Koyorad.

So 20 months and 35,000 miles later my Cold Case radiator is performing as I had hoped. I have been off-roading in Moab, Colorado, Nevada, and Arizona. Towed a trailer 10,000 miles and not a single issue. Last weekend I pulled the trailer (2800 lbs) in 109° heat up 6% grades to 9,300 feet to go camping (it was 109° at 3000 feet) with zero issues. Max coolant temp was 240° pulling up a grade and then I turned the AC off and it dropped to the low 230’s. It has been a game changer for me.
