Plastic or "real" radiator on 95 ZJ 4.0 Limited

Feb 08, 2004 3 Replies

Am hoping that the few spotlets of anti-freeze directly under the radiator may be just from the recent flush...



However, if it ain't, does the '95 ZJ 4.0 use a real radiator or one of those !#@@#$ plastic things?



If it is leaking and it is at all plastic, will a 3 row aluminum fit on a 4.0 that has the transmission cooler in addition to the A/C stuck out front of the thing?



Donkeyshines in advance for answers.



The 94 ZJ uses a metal core with plastic end caps. The sign of trouble is where the core is crimped on to the caps. Corrosion starts pushing the metal crimp tabs off the plastic. Photos of replacement are at

It is a 4 hour job and fairly simple.New belt or water pump if shot would be good while you are at it. Again search of groups using

is good form. Cheers, Jim
