Owner reviews for engine radiator

I looked at what I bought like 165k and it was KOYO Radiator A1998 for $175 and I'm like 100k miles later and it still looks good. I just wanna change it for preventative maintenance since I'm gonna have my mechanic add the external cooler

The Koyorad full aluminum radiator is the one to have. Paired to your Hayden 698 since it doesn’t have a section to cool the trans fluid, however definitely worth it for durability as the next alternative over OEM replacement rad.

No, the best radiator is Toyota OEM it can last over 25 years.

I run a Koyo 37mm radiator... and I will hit 200+F under hard driving. Under normal driving, my coolant temps are in between 178-185F.

my 1968 Falcon has the original radiator, and never overheats, even in some pretty extreme driving conditions. It has regularly done stop-and-go traffic in 90+ degree heat, as well as extremely steep and long mountain passes here in Colorado - miles and miles of full throttle. It doesn't even have a fan shroud.

I have a Nissens radiator that’s been solid

Koyo N flow. Only rad you’ll ever need. Even though you want to keep it “stock” the OEM style plastic crimped end tank design is a time bomb and should be avoided.

For the same price, I would get the mishimoto, but my Amazon OEM style radiator was $75 and my only complaint is the unused transmission cooler bungs which aren’t needed on a manual.

I bought a Nissens radiator because it was the highest rated one for my car. Everything went so smooth initially. Bled the system, pressure tested it, drove it for 20 minutes, and it ran beautifully. Checked for leaks, nothing. Then, the moment I drive off the lot, my low coolant light comes on and coolant was pouring out the bottom of the car. I got a (2E83) *Electric coolant pump, reduced power operation* error. The car never overheated or went into limp mode.

Mishimoto is crap.
