Boy buying a used radiator from a wreckin yard probably would iffy at best. A new one shoulden be but $150 or so and the yards typically get 50% of new, just wouldent be worth the trouble swappin for another used one Id think.

A bottle or two of stop leak, couple bucks. Leaks stopped, priceless.
I went the cheap back woods way and it did the trick just fine. Or you can get the solder out and fill the hole, I had a real fun time along the interstate doing this once. |

the only thing bad about stock radiators is that the ends are plastic... at least mine was...
when you buy a new one you can get a full metal one for less than 140.00 that would be a 2 core, vs factory 1 core. even a 3 core cost less than 180.00. http://www.radiatorbarn.com/s7.asp?ac=Y&year=1997&make=JEEP&model=CHEROKEE&sub model=ALL+MODELS&engine_size=L6%2C4.0L%2C242ci |

Stop leak is trash, imagine what all those beads and metal crap is doing to your water pump. Just go buy a new radiator and you wont be dis-satisfied. Some have a lifetime warranty. Look into those.
