Radiators - Mishimoto or Denso ?
 
2013 JKU with 116K and the radiator decided to urinate. Considering Mishimoto or Denso. Seeking feedback on these and any other that performs and lasts. LMK.. TIA.

I really think they're all just a crap shoot. I presume you're talking the OEM equivalent mishimoto and not an aluminum one. i can certainly suggest alumimun rads really don't perform any better in regard to longevity or performance, and those that might say they do are just smoking some placebos. I think my first replacement was a factory equivalent OSC, followed by an aluminum Griffin and now an AFE BladeRunner GT. I might lean towards Denso for no real reason. Curious to hear if anyone else chimes in with actual experience with either.

My JK OEM original made it 15 years and 220K miles. I like em. None are like the old days when they lasted as long as the car. I’ve had Nissan, BMW, Ford and Jeep all give up the ghost seemingly before their time.

Thanks to all. Decided, went with Mishimoto - lifetime warranty and I chose the lesser cost, $170 on Amazon.. After all , as a part time DD is 13 years old and we are keeping it..
