BladeRunner GT Series Radiator

The AFE Power BladeRunner GT Series Radiator is engineered to provide superior cooling performance for your 2012-2018 Jeep Wrangler JK equipped with the 3.6L engine. Its unique 1 3/4" bar and plate core design offers 25% greater efficiency than traditional tube-and-fin cores, leading to enhanced heat dissipation and improved coolant flow. This design, combined with aircraft-grade aluminum construction, results in a larger core that increases coolant capacity and helps maintain optimal engine temperatures under demanding conditions. The radiator features robust 1/8" TIG-welded aluminum end tanks for exceptional strength and durability, making it suitable for both off-road and daily driving. It comes complete with upper and lower 5-ply polyester-reinforced silicone hoses, which are designed to withstand high temperatures and offer a longer lifespan than standard rubber hoses. Installation is made straightforward with the use of factory mounting locations for stability and includes quality stainless steel T-Bolt clamps for a secure fit. The billet aluminum inlet and outlet measure 1 1/2" in diameter, ensuring reliable performance. For a clean and convenient maintenance process, a brass drainage valve with a barbed fitting is integrated for easy coolant draining. The radiator boasts a custom appearance with a brushed aluminum finish and a painted aFe Power logo, while the black silicone hoses also feature the aFe Power branding. It is important to note that while the part is designed for the 2012-2018 Jeep Wrangler JK 3.6L, some customer reviews have indicated issues with leaks and fitment after installation. One review mentioned a previous part number (46-52001) leaking after 4 months and not fitting correctly, with a replacement also leaking. Another review reported a leak after only a year and a half.
