Just a quick update, I have had the radiator in for a couple of weeks now without issues. It does appear to have a little different appearance from my previous two radiators...the filler neck seems different. I will post pics when I get a chance. So far no drips, will update if that changes.

 

Thanks for the update! We also wanted to give you all an update:

We've borrowed this 2016 3.6L JK to double check fitment and look into this issue on a newer model. We have a few ideas for updates and once they're signed off on, I'll be able to give you all more information.



Thanks again!

We just installed one of these radiators in our 2014 Jeep. The factory unit failed before 40k miles. Hopefully this new unit will last a bit longer. We will keep you posted.

 

Definitely let us know how it goes and if we can help in any way!

Thanks,

I have a Mishimoto radiator sitting in its box in my basement. I invested the extra $ in the Mishimoto because I plan to drive this Jeep for a VERY long time. I already have 220,000 miles on my 08 JKUR. Unfortunately it started leaking shortly after installation. I had a trip planned and did not have time to return it and wait for the replacement. So, back to OEM I went.

Steve, I would be happy to send the leaking radiator to you in its original box so that you can perform failure analysis. Just say the word and send me your address.

With kind regards,

Hi Tom,

First let me say I'm sorry for the trouble you had with our radiator, I know how irritating unexpected issues can be, especially when you have plans that rely on your vehicle. At this time we have several new JK radiators from multiple production runs that we're checking out. The two JK's that we've had in also brought along their radiators that failed so we have a couple good case studies to work with. With that said, I would be happy to talk to customer service to see if we could get you a replacement radiator or a refund. Just let me know if that's something you'd like to do and thank you for the offer, we appreciate the community's willingness to help us produce better products!

Thanks again,

-Steve

 

Steve,

I would appreciate it if you would reach out to customer service on my behalf. I would prefer a replacement, but would like your opinion: Would I be better off waiting until you have an opportunity to complete your analysis and make any changes that are made based on that analysis?

Feel free to reply via pm if you think this should be handled outside of this thread.

Thanks for your input,
Tom Johnson

 

Hi Tom,

I'll shoot you a PM so that we don't overtake jsmittyund03's thread.

Thanks!

Anyone put a Griffin 5-00152 into a JK? I see their site says it for 07-12 and I have a 15. My OEM lasted about 30k miles, the 1st Mishimoto about 6k, and this last one about 500.

I contacted Griffin and they said it would fit and everything would line up but the guy seemed unsure. Wondering if anyone had experience putting this radiator in something newer than a 2012.

They are more expensive but I'm willing to pay double that of the Mishimoto to not have to deal with this BS every few months.

 

I'm thinking you might not get a lot of responses about a Griffin in a Mishimoto discussion thread.
