$^&*(((*&*^&^%$#@#$$^*()&* radiator
while trying to get the crossbar bolt that holds the bell crank together i managed to whack a already fragile radiator. Now not a leak but a drain the whole damn thing in a hour leak. Can not see but probably messed the petcock valve on bottom, what the hell pulling it tomorrow and biting the bullet whatever it takes to make it hold coolant and do its damn job,,, even to spending 500.00 on a new one
boogers
Pelago if you can get the one I have to work out of a (52 M38) I’ll give it to ya.
Sorry Buddy if it wasn’t for bad luck you wouldn’t have any:(:(
Oh man! Of all the things. If its just the petcock, that might be an easy fix.
I think there was prior discussion about that radiator on this thread. Isn't it unique to the M38A1? I thought gmwillys said something about it hooks to the engine so it can be R&R'd as a unit motor and all. Maybe a CJ3B radiator can be made to work if it's more than an easy fix.
Your right bmorgil, gm did say it was unique to the m38a1 after going back through the comments but like you said if it’s just the petcock it may be an easy/cheap fix!!!!
Hopefully it is.
THIS ONE IS AVAILABLE AND PRICE IS GOOD BUT WAY TO WIDE, DIMENSIONS JUST DONT WORK AND THE WING IS REVERSED OR THE INLET AND OUTLET ON WRONG SIDE, BUT THOSE MAYBE CAN BE CORRECTED, HAVE TO CALL THEM. SENT THEM TWO OF THEIR OWN INQUIRE SYSTEMS,,, EVEN SENT PHOTO NEVER GOT A REPLY? CURIOUS
WILL KNOW A LOT MORE WHEN THE BUGGER OUT OF MAGOO AND ON THE FLOOR??

I like these guy's Ira. Give them some time, I think they can get you going if you need a new one.
I’m with bmorgil Ira, you tell them what you need and they’ll get it or make it.
Their CS is the Best and they go out of their way to help ya!!!
the link had dimensions on it and i took those outside and matched to the actual radiator in the jeep. way way too wide, could i finagle it in, maybe. and everything is backwards, the entire system designed to come out as a power plant removal includes radiator when lifted out
that new radiator is 600.00 us dollars from kaiser
