Reviews for Griffin Radiator & Thermal Products 5-70032 ExactFit Aluminum Radiator for 87-06 Jeep Wrangler YJ, TJ & Unlimited with Automatic Transmission
Does not come with drain plug!! Major waste of time to find out after ordering that there is no peacock included I'm not even sure where to get this part.
QUADRATEC!!! YOU NEED TO TELL AUTOMATIC OWNERS THAT THEY MAY NEED AN ADAPTER TO FIT THEIR TRANSMISSION LINES FOR THIS THE 'EXACT FIT' GRIFFIN RADIATOR!!!! Kinda sucks when you are in the middle of the swap and you realize you are dead in the water because the fittings don't swap over. How am I supposed to get to the parts store and pray they have what I need without a working vehicle?!?! Not COOL QUADRATEC! not cool... Even Griffin on their website advises TJ owners that they may need adapter KPP-228 Adapters to install the radiator!! https://www.griffinrad.com/details2c.php?key_id=5-70032&db=parts1&partno=PartNumber PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE update your website and this video, it may work with earlier TJs but not my 2004.
Weld cracked after 30k miles over 5 years. Spend a little more or get a something with a better warranty if you can
If you have a TJ with an auto transmission, this is NOT A DROP-IN. The transmission cooler lines do not connect to the fittings on the radiator. You will have to buy some adapters in order to run your stock cooler lines to the Griffin radiator. You'll need two of them. It also does not come with a radiator cap, so you'll need to buy one of those too.
Good Radiator, but be forewarned that you MUST ORDER A RADIATOR CAP separately. The original cap will not work. Odd decision in product packaging.
Developed 2 leaks after only 3 years of weekend use. I would not recommend Griffin. I got 134,000 miles out of my factory radiator and got around 30,000 miles out of the Griffin. Save your money and buy OEM replacement.
Cracked after almost three years of light use (Less than 15k miles). Not what I expected from such a highly reviewed product. Perhaps that is the reason they only offer a 2 year Limited Warranty.
caused engine to run HOTTER then the stock radiator we removed- idle temps over 214
degreese- even when partnered with a 160 deg stat, new fan clutch - etc- this radiator does not allow for efficiant cooling
On my third Griffin Radiator in a year. After a few weeks, leaks start where the cooling fins meet the tank. Don’t buy this radiator! If it wasn’t for Quadratec’s outstanding service and their strong belief in backing up what they sell, I would have been out hundreds of dollars. Buy from Quadratec to avoid disappointment.
Started leaking after only 1 year and 20.000km.
buyers beware! This terrible product (((
