Engine radiator Denso or KOYORAD

Experienced a full separation of the top (and possibly bottom) plastic from the aluminum portion - would leak about as fast as I could pour it in. Replaced with Koyorad A2807 from RockAuto.com for $104 plus tax and shipping. Nominal time to repair for a non-mechanic is probably 4-to-6 hours - call it a day project.

got a Koyorad off Rock Auto for around $100 and slapped it in there. Runs like a champ. It is a pretty easy job if you're mechanically inclined.

I've had a Koyorad in my 97 for 5 years now and it's been great.

i recently put a koyorad in mine as well, the hoses at the bottom took me forever to work with but it was worth it

I replaced it with a OEM style koyorad I found for $130 and corrected the radiator caps and my temps have been perfect all summer. It is a bitch to burp the coolant so I recommend buying the spill-free funnel.

He Bought a denso. Took all of 30 mins to install.

I swapped my original radiator at 230k with a denso replacement. Denso/oem parts have always been g2g for me.

Denso radiator. Oem manufacturer. Not to expensive. Pretty easy to replace. I did all of mine and it was a breeze. If I can, you can.

I got the thicker Koyorad and managed to get it to fit with some redneck engineering, but it was a squeeze.

The MVP radiator and the Denso aftermarket are identical, both say Denso. The main difference between the OEM and the MVP/Denso is the OEM is 2 Core with a radiator thickness of 1.075 inches thick. The Denso is 1 Core with a radiator thickness of 0.663 inches thick. I measured the thickness using a digital caliper. Another difference is the transmission connection lines, the MVP/Denso looks like a cheaper aluminum, and the OEM is a heftier non aluminum metal. As a side note, after searching the internet and YouTube, some people have leaks at the radiator line after a couple of years with the Denso aftermarket ones. Next time I will be sticking with the OEM model, I just don’t have time to return the Denso and order another OEM one.
