I'm not interested in converting my system at this time, I just need to replace my leaking stocker. Just wondering if anyone has any horror stories from these guys, or know what brand radiators they are.

I ordered one for my '92 Wrangler. Service from them was good and the radiator was a direct fit w/ no install problems. FWIW I would buy from them again.

How was the reliability on it, I see you list an XJ in your sig now, so maybe you got rid of it before you could tell. Was it a straight replacement or an upgrade, and if so, did it help cooling much? Thanks in advance.

I've had one for about 2-3 years. Leaking now.


Radiator Barn is a distribution center. My actual radiator is a CSF. Radiator Barn is warranting my radiator. Calling can be a pain but once you actually get a hold of someone they are great.

id get an all aluminum silla radiator. i bought mine off ebay for my tj. ive heard radiator barn radiators leak after a few years.

the silla was a direct fit, all aluminum, and i have put it through the "test"
ive offroaded it hard in the sand dunes, jumping off the rev limiter. its still holding up great and it cools fine.i can say i expect it to out live my motor/trans/axles/

and it was only like 140??something like that.

Dude, I've got a 90 as well. I ordered the 3 core a month or so ago. Installed it and removed the mechanical fan. I installed an electric fan. At this point on 90 degree days I don't have to turn the electric fan on unless I'm stuck in traffic for 30min or so. The temp doesn't come close to 210. I think it's a wise investment. It also opens up space in the engine area. Good luck.

Just installed one. Fast shipping. Direct fit. I've got other things torn apart so I haven't driven it yet.

I ordered one from them in December of 2008. worked fine, jeep didn't overheat or leak anymore. Sadly I rear ended my friend on the beach in june of 2009 and it got trashed

i have their 3 core rad and its been holding up fine in hard wheeling and plenty of long hours sitting in traffic, it keeps the temps a few degrees cooler than it used to which is nice

I ordered a CSF 3 row from them last Wednesday and got it on Friday. Installed it and a new water pump over the holiday weekend. Only problem I'm having is reconnecting the lower trans line (those stupid quick disconnects). So I cut it off and am clamping it together. I need to get another barbed connector as the straight one I got is leaking.

I just got my 3 core today, looks pretty good. All metal construction. Should go in pretty well.

i got one from them about a year ago. it's leaking now so i need to send it back and get it replaced. they said they would do it under warranty... i just need to wait until i can afford to shell out for a new one until they process the refund.

I hope I have better luck with mine. I asked a whole bunch of people where to get a replacement and they all said Radiator Barn.

I have the CFS 3 row and it has been doing great for 3 or 4 years now. No leaking or anything and it keeps the XJ cooler than a stock radiator.

Not to hijack, if you get a piece of trans line with a flared end from your local parts store and a compression clamp it will go together nicely. Then all you need to do is slide the rubber hose over and tighten the hose clamp.



I have had one for about 6 months. Runs good now I think I need to replace the new t stat I have in it
