Customer Guides

Anything that is in excess is bad. That is specifically true to the hot temperature that arises from under your Jeep Grand Cherokee's hood due to the regular process that the engine must do to supply power to the components comprising the vehicle. Performing an important role in maintaining the coolness of the engine is a Jeep Grand Cherokee radiator. Extreme temperature under the hood can negatively affect the efficiency and performance of the engine. To go with the durability and toughness of Jeep makes, Jeep Grand Cherokee radiators are crafted with the same long lasting features to effectively perform its expected task.

 
 
A car radiator is a component of the car's cooling system responsible for cooling down the engine in case it reach its maximum capacity of producing heat which can destroy the power train itself. Automotive radiators serve as the passage for the hot coolant from the engine which is then passed on to the cool metal grate to be pushed out of the car's system. Constant repair and check-up are needed to ensure optimum performance. It is preferable to replace a damaged Jeep Grand Cherokee auto radiator to prevent further negative effects on the car's over all performance.

Any auto market offers various types of radiator replacement that will suit the cooling system of a Jeep Grand Cherokee. There are aluminum radiators, performance radiators, cheap radiators and a lot more. Just make sure that it will match the configurations of the car or else it can do more harm than good especially on the over-all performance of the car. Aside from your local auto parts dealers and sellers, on line stores are also around to give you the type of radiators specially matched for your Jeep Grand Cherokee.

Summary

  • One of the crucial Jeep Grand Cherokee parts that contribute to its optimal performance is the radiator—the primary component of the cooling system.
  • The job of your Jeep Grand Cherokee radiator is to keep the engine running at the right temperature.
  • A faulty radiator puts the engine at risk of overheating and total failure. To avoid these problems, you have to be alert for the following symptoms of a damaged radiator: coolant leakage, sludge, and cold spots.
  • CarParts.com offers both OE and performance replacement radiators, with a price range of $70 to $849. They’re sold individually or as part of a kit. They’re also available in universal fit, but you may opt to get a direct fit to ensure compatibility.

The Jeep Grand Cherokee is known for having a commanding exterior, comfortable interiors, and excellent off-road performance. One of the crucial Jeep Grand Cherokee parts that keep it running smoothly is the radiator—the primary component of the cooling system.

The job of your Jeep Grand Cherokee radiator is to keep the engine running at the right temperature. When hot coolant from the engine passes through its tubes, the radiator cools down the fluid by transferring the heat into the air, which is blown through its fins by the cooling fan. The coolant then circulates back into the engine to cool it down. As with other automotive parts, the radiator will require replacement once it reaches the end of its service life.

Signs of a Faulty Jeep Grand Cherokee Radiator

Driving with a damaged radiator is unsafe not only for your vehicle but also for you. A faulty radiator puts the engine at risk of overheating and total failure. It may even cause your vehicle to catch fire. To avoid these problems, you have to be alert for the following symptoms of a damaged radiator:

Coolant leakage

If you’ve been seeing puddles of yellow, green, or red antifreeze underneath your vehicle, then it’s likely that you have a busted radiator. Coolant leaks will also trigger the Low Coolant light on the dashboard once the coolant tank’s fluid level drops dangerously low.

Sludge

When your vehicle’s radiator goes bad, dirt and other debris may contaminate the coolant, turning it into a thicker consistency with a rusty color that looks similar to oil. A contaminated antifreeze will no longer be able to cool down the engine and may clog up the radiator tubes.

Cold spots

Uneven temperature throughout the radiator’s surface is an indicator that its tubes have been plugged up by rust and contaminants. It may also be caused by damaged or bent fins.

Recall Information for the Jeep Grand Cherokee Cooling System

Knowing whether your vehicle needs recall work or not is important to guarantee its functionality and safety on the road. If you have a second-hand Jeep Grand Cherokee, you should know that there’s previously been a recall that involves its cooling system.

Recall Number: 06V199000

Recall Date: 06/08/2006

A recall for the 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee engine and engine cooling began on September 4, 2006 over concerns of the plastic fan blade separating from the electric motor-driven cooling fan and penetrating the shroud. This could cause injuries in case the blade becomes detached while the hood is open.

This issue has been reported to affect the 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee radiator as well. Many vehicle owners complained of the detached cooling fan blade piercing right through the radiator, resulting in physical damage and coolant leakage.

How much does a Jeep Grand Cherokee radiator replacement cost?

CarParts.com offers both OE and performance replacement radiators, with a price range of $70 to $849. They’re sold individually or as part of a kit. They’re also available in universal fit, but you may opt to get a direct fit replacement to ensure compatibility.

Be careful not to confuse your vehicle’s radiator with a Jeep Cherokee radiator, because the latter is meant for a completely different vehicle. To make sure that you get the right part for your ride, enter its year, make, and model on our website’s filter bar.

How often should the Jeep Grand Cherokee radiator be flushed?

Ideally, a Jeep Grand Cherokee's radiator needs to be flushed once every two years or after 30,000 miles. In some cases like severe winter conditions, the radiator needs to be flushed more often because of contaminant build up. The prolonged use of a bad coolant will damage the radiator, which then impairs the vehicle's overall performance. Aside from flushing the contents of the Cherokee's radiator, it is also advisable to perform a check-up of the radiator's cooling and freezing systems seasonally. Additionally, oil changing can speed up the need for a radiator flush.

 

What are the symptoms of a faulty Jeep Grand Cherokee radiator?

A faulty Jeep Grand Cherokee radiator may cause its metal fins to be bent irregularly. Rust and corrosion may also be visible if the Cherokee's radiator needs to be replaced. In addition, a replacement is also needed if leaks are present when the engine is turned on. Other signs may include cracked or chipped radiator hoses and a green liquid or coolant leakage. It is also advisable to check the radiator a week before summer and winter because the weather conditions greatly affect the radiator's performance. Also, take note of the right coolant mixture to be used so that the Jeep Grand Cherokee won't break down in the middle of a snowstorm or in the middle of a scorching summer.

 

What type of material is best suited for the Jeep Grand Cherokee radiator?

The original radiators were made of copper and brass, but these were soon replaced by plastic and aluminum types. Unlike brass and copper, aluminum is lightweight, cheap, and less prone to rust and corrosion. Additionally, it presents better heat transfer, which makes it the best material for the Jeep Grand Cherokee radiator.
