which radiator do you guys recommend to replace the oem radiator in my 2012 JKUR? the OEM finally started to leak at the plastic/allum matting area. I would rather not replace it with another core that has plastic end caps/tanks. My plan was to go with a Mishimoto all allum one, just wanted to ask you well experienced group your recommendations first.
Thanks..

Mishimoto is garbage. They must be good at advertising because everyone wants to use it until they find out how crappy they are. How many miles on your jeep? Everyone also knocks the factory radiator and yet it lasts a long time. I would replace with factory every time.

I personally have seen 3 or 4 mishimoto radiators fail in the last year. 1 was mine
It just started leaking sitting on jack stands. It was 6 months old. 1 was garbage out of the box leaked as soon as it wss installed. The others lasted less than a year.
I'm back to oem.

My vote is from Performance Radiators. They are quick on shipping and pretty much an OEM replacement.
Otherwise go with a factory mopar replacement

It’s because mishimoto is the first thing that comes up when you search wrangler radiator on Amazon. Amazon isn’t a trillion dollar company cuz only I use it. I was thinking about them until I joined this site. That’s where the vault of experience opens up and makes me happy to get info here.
