TRQ Radiator Assembly Aluminum Core Compatible with 02-06 Jeep Liberty

In this review the TRQ radiator assembly is evaluated for owners of 2002-06 Jeep Liberty V6 3.7L who need a direct OE-style replacement. The bottom line: this radiator fits like the original and provides the core functional needs of engine cooling while offering easier installation and solid value for the price. It is best for someone replacing a failing OEM radiator who wants compatible dimensions, transmission oil cooler integration, and a straightforward direct-fit solution without chasing an exact factory part number.

Key Features

• Direct Fit: Designed to match OE mounting points so installation lines up with existing brackets and hoses for a quicker swap.
• Aluminum Core: The aluminum core provides effective heat transfer and a lighter assembly compared with older heavy cores.
• Transmission Oil Cooler Included: Built-in transmission oil cooler plates eliminate the need for a separate cooler when your application requires one.
• Vehicle Specific: Fitment is specified for 2002-06 Jeep Liberty V6 3.7L, helping buyers avoid generic mismatches by checking vehicle compatibility.
• OEM-Comparable Thickness: Core thickness is equal to the OE part, maintaining expected cooling performance when installed correctly.

Who It's For

This radiator is aimed at do-it-yourself mechanics and independent shops working on 2002-06 Jeep Liberty V6 3.7L vehicles who want a direct-fit aftermarket replacement that includes the transmission oil cooler. It suits buyers who value parts that align with OEM mounting and hose locations to reduce installation time.

It is less suitable for someone seeking a performance upgrade beyond OE cooling capacity or for vehicles outside the listed fitment. Also, if a purchaser needs a radiator with an integrated engine oil cooler or wants a metal tank design, they should look for alternate models.
