Question:

Is Jeep Cherokee sport prone to radiator failure?

I have a 2000 Jeep Cherokee sport and I have replaced the radiator 3 times (average lifespan 1.5 years)Every time it has failed at the top passenger side corner where the aluminum fins are soldered to the aluminum tubeNOT where aluminum meets the plastic.It was replaced by a professional with an OEM radiatorIs it possible that racking in the frame due to bad sway bar bushings or harsh Michigan roads could cause this problemSame location of the break I am not having over heating issues before radiator breaks.I am using correct coolant mixture.

Answer:

Not at all, I have a 2001 and it runs like a charmYou are probably just having bad luck or something else is causing the failure
You should and always leave it in the aluminum tin!
Definately leave it in the aluminum tinIf you don't it will be a huge mess.
you bake it in the tinIt will tell you whether or not to place the tin on the baking sheetBut definitely leave it in the tin.
Definitely leave in baking tinBest to place tin on baking sheet to create a more even bakingBake at recommended temperature until toothpick poked in center is not stickyIf crust getting too browned, add strips of foil on crust edges.
