Nearly Perfect - Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 Radiator R&D, Part 1: Prototype to Production

The 2012+ Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 is a nearly perfect sleeper. With four doors, enough room for the kids and the dog, and a 475 hp 6.4L Hemi V8 under the hood pushing it to a sub-five second 0-60, there's not much the Grand Cherokee can't do quickly. But all that capability and power comes at a cost. 475 hp moving 5,200 lbs. around generates a massive amount of heat. It's not uncommon for engine coolant temps to hit 220°F or more, especially in modified Cherokees.

The Grand Cherokee SRT8 is certainly capable, but if it overheats, it's useless. That's why we decided to develop a performance aluminum radiator to put the finishing touch on your 2012+ Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8.

We started development on this radiator as we do with most of our projects by measuring the stock components. Our engineer, Ye pulled our volunteer Grand Cherokee into the shop and removed the stock radiator. To get the most accurate measurements, Ye used our 3D scanner to model the stock radiator along with its mount
