Does anyone know the spec difference between the auto and manual radiators for jeep TJs (mines a 2004)?
Heard the auto is larger than the manual. I'd like to put the auto rad into my manual jeep for some extra cooling.
Any advise?

Yep. Transmission cooler is the difference. __________________

Was checking eBay and DNA motoring have an aluminum that I'm interested in.
Anyone switch to an aftermarket radiator and notice any changes when putting the jeep through its paces? __________________

Anything less is going to dissapoint, will run hotter and may fail at the worst time. One row is the way to go, in the room we have in our Jeeps there is no room to run thicker cores so more rows equal smaller tubes and less cooling. __________________

I lived in the hottest part of the country (except for Death Valley) from 2000 to the end of 2008. The summer temps were over 120 degrees at times. (Yuha desert, west of Yuma, AZ.) That's why I had to install hood louvers, HD fan clutch, 7 blade fan. __________________

It's a manual transmission and yes, the cooling lines are the only difference. Was a piece of cake to do and Jeep still runs at EXACTLY the same temp. Here's the one I got for $115
Radiator | 2001 Jeep Wrangler 4WD 6 Cylinders S 4.0L MFI | AutoZone.com This radiator has been designed to accomodate automatic and manual transmission vehicles, there is no need to make modifications to your vehicle if it does not use the oil cooler. The oil cooler is a sealed unit by itself, it has no direct contact with the radiator coolant, therefore no leaks will occur if left unplugged. Does NOT include Radiator Cap. Purchase separately. __________________

Spectra Premium/Radiator (CU2101) | 2001 Jeep Wrangler 4WD 6 Cylinders S 4.0L MFI | AutoZone.com Well this one still asks for the info but just closing the window still shows the right part. At least it is for ME now. The link in the post above show all results for radiators where as this one shows just the one.
