CSF’s 88-90 Cherokee (XJ) 4.0L radiator without filler neck, featuring a 3-Row Copper Core design, represents the pinnacle of quality and durability in cooling solutions for Jeep vehicles.

With more than five decades of expertise in radiator manufacturing, CSF ensures that each radiator meets rigorous standards for reliability and efficiency, making it the preferred choice for keeping your engine operating at optimal temperatures.
The radiator’s design is rooted in traditional copper/brass construction, renowned for its superior thermal conductivity and repairability.

This robust construction ensures that the radiator withstands the demanding conditions faced by Cherokee owners, whether navigating rugged terrain or enduring the stresses of towing.
The 3-Row 46mm Heavy-Duty and High-Performance Copper Core is engineered to deliver exceptional cooling capacity, surpassing many standard radiators on the market. Its design allows for a true “drop-in” fit, requiring no modifications during installation, which facilitates a seamless replacement process. This feature is particularly valuable for professional mechanics and vehicle owners seeking a reliable upgrade without the complications of custom fitting.
Whether your driving involves challenging off-road excursions, heavy towing, or everyday commuting, the CSF radiator provides consistent and efficient cooling performance. This product embodies the expertise of CSF’s engineering team, combining traditional craftsmanship with modern enhancements to meet the rigorous demands of Jeep vehicles.
