Engine radiator Koyo or Denso

my 2005 4Runner Limited 4WD V8 that I bought one year ago with only 55k miles on it (well maintained time capsule), was just fine. Zero leaks from the radiator or anything. At 65k miles I went ahead and replaced the radiator with a Denso unit.

I figured going from a life in SoCal to southeast Texas summers would tax the radiator. Plus, 55k miles in 20 years, and now I’ll put about 20k miles a year on it, would likely make the original radiator go pop at the most inconvenient time, surely.

Put a koyo rad in it and it’s been good to go.

If you go aluminum Koyo is the way to go.

I went with Koyo. CARid was the best price at the time. Been 7 years and no issues.

I just got a new Denso radiator off of rock auto for a Tacoma. It didn't look much better than this. Had a hole in the box from shipping. Installed. Hasn't leaked at all.

This happened to my 4Runner recently. New denso radiator from Rockauto was $150.

I put a Denso radiator in my wife's car.

It was packaged very well and arrived completely undamaged. It was a perfect fit.

Radiators aren\u2019t supposed to leak. I have the same Koyo radiator in my NA Z, just put it in this past summer. I def do not have that leak.

I ended up replacing the radiator *and the hose*s myself with a denso radiator.

Get the Denso radiator from rockauto. I tried eBay crap once and it barely lasted a year
