CSF radiator
Here is my 4 month old CSF radiator. Coolant pouring out of it. CSF says I have to deal with the company I bought it from. The company only does emails, no phone calls. I have a feeling this not going to be a quick and easy ordeal. That is the rear of the rad with the fan off. no damage.

I purchased the same CSF radiator and mine now has a leak after 8 months. I found several people that purchased CSF radiators that leak after a few months. Those lucky enough to get a replacement, typically develop a leak as well. I STRONGLY urge anyone looking at radiators to stay clear from CSF.
They look good, but develop several leaks.

my first CSF lasted about 9 months, second one a month... I'm hoping JC Whitney will just refund my $$$ or let me pay the different and get a Mishmoto one now. it's sad when a stock product last 5X longer than an aftermarket performance radiator.

A forum member was recently selling two Mishimoto radiators that had leaks, so I would suggest researching quality issues there as well.

I ended up going with a stock style replacement from Omix ADA. From everything I'm seeing the 2 row all Aluminum is just a time bomb to start leaking within a year.

I'm on my 2nd stock radiator I've had my Jeep about a month and a half FWIW..
Be carefull of Mishimoto when I was in a H3 some of the Hummer owners had some problems with Mishimoto's leaking..
A lot of them went with Ron Davis Racing as a replacement not sure if they do Jeep stuff or not I didn't look.
