Does anyone have experience with these: https://www.ebay.com/itm/2481-New-Radia ... -J&vxp=mtr?

Seems like a high number of items sold with a high reviews. I believe the OEM one is ~$400.

For $50 you will have better luck trying to epoxy the OEM radiator which has a 100% failure rate.

That's how good a $50 radiator will be.

But hey you will get real good at replacing it.

As already said, My son had a cheap radiator in both his honda and then his jeep, both lasted about a year and the hassle to return was not worth it, and they had good ratings from ebay....

I remember I bought a cheap radiator and after 9 months there are already some cracks. Won't buy cheap parts again.

I had to replace my radiator about 9-10 months ago. Had a crack on the top front. I was going to go cheap and get it at Pep Boys. When I looked into it, there was no mount for the trans cooler so I would have had to zip tie it. Other issue was reading about people replacing it multiple times. It's not worth the hassle to save a couple hundred bucks. I just spent the money and bought Mopar and got hoses at Pep Boys. Took an hour and a half to replace. No issues so far. And I got 160k out of the old one. Don't think my Jeep will last 160k more ;)
