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.

 

Received an email today and they are sending out a new radiator . Should get it Monday.

 

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.

 

You mean the stock plastic radiator is superior to this? Maybe I should rethink my anti-plastic jihad...

 

Stock is much more superior to the CSF. I did just purchase a Mishimoto radiator, which only costs a little more, but seems like it is built a little better.

 

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.

 

Mine lasted 6 weeks. Junk.

 

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.
