Review on ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Spectra Premium CU1193 Full Radiator Solution by Charles Alfian

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Thinner and only single breasted.

I was hoping this would be a one for one replacement for my 2001 Jeep Cherokee. The OE Chrysler-badged radiator has 2 cores and is 1.58 inches thick (front to back). This skinny thing is single row and only 1.03 inches thick. The slats are not much larger than aluminum foil. MUCH weaker than the original. I was hoping to have an equivalent replacement that I could rely on when I was far off the beaten track. But now I'm stuck on a cheap wheel that looks like a strong mosquito bite is going through it. During installation I found that the vertical bars on the inside and outside of the radiator were too tight and were bending the floor. Plate half an inch higher (see pictures). Notice how the crease caused the bottom mounting pins to tilt inward. This put the bottoms of the pins 1/2 inch too close together and it wouldn't go into the insulators. I had to hit it with a hammer to open them wide enough to install it. I'm giving it 3 stars for now and will update later.
