Owner reviews for engine radiator

I refused to install anything but a koyorad

Nissens is good, put a long zip tie around the upper plug on the passenger side above the transmission fluid return, the plugs can push out.

I've had my nissens radiator for years and it's fine.

My all aluminum Koyorad radiator is a far superior unit than the factory original.

I'd stick with a new Denso if you want to replace yours.

Replaced with original.

24 years is good for me.

The stock piece lasts well over a decade in my experience. That's more than enough for me for a part that fits and functions perfectly.

I recently did a timing belt job on my is300 and now the car feels weird. I replaced oe denso radiator. The first startup was very rough. After some tinkering with the car by letting it idle for a while, reving it slightly, the car seems to be alright with no check engine light or any missfire codes. However I do feel like the engine vibrates just ever so slightly more than it used to. A barely noticeable difference but I feel like something is not right. The car now also has weird cold starts. The engine only revs up to a 1000rpm and then goes down from there, where it usually would rev up to 1500-1800rpm on cold starts.

Bought it for my coyote swapped F100 and there was a hole in it from the start. Rewelded the whole thing because wasn’t worth the return when I can just do it myself. Welds just looked like someone just started child labor and it was their first day on the job. Wouldn’t buy one again if I had too.

The OEM rad in my ‘13 developed a crack when the car was like 4 years old.
