Radiator

I have a 1998 Jeep Wrangler, 2.5L with 134000mi. I have only owned it for about 5 years and have gone through 3 radiators. 2 of them in the last year and a 1/2. Can you tell me why I could be going through so many? Could this problem be connected to my A/C somehow? :Cry:

G'Day there,

What is the fault with the radiators, are they cracking? Or a corosion problem? If they are cracking they may need a bit mere insulation on the mounts, to alaow for a bit of flex, is this a known problem, as I have not seen this problem in Aus.
Also if the radiators are after market, they may be of a poorer quality construction, cheaper is not always better.

Yeah, they are cracking. But the radiators are not aftermarket. I checked into that. Weird I know. For example, I was driving home yesterday when anti-freeze shoots all over the hood and windshield and my gauge runs to hot. I'm so sad. Sniff.
