Engine radiator MISHIMOTO or Denso

Denso Engine radiator

'07 V6 SR5 I replaced my leaking rad with a Denso four years ago and it's been absolutely rock solid. **NOTE** I'm not sure if this is still the case but some Denso rads have a couple little notches cut into the sides which are sometimes mistaken for damage as they are not neatly done (literally looks like someone just tapped it with a grinder). These notches are to allow the rad to expand a bit when the metal heats. They are necessary and part of the design even though they sure *look* like damage.

Pros: absolutely rock solid, reliable, design feature

Denso Engine radiator

Put a few more $ in and buy a slightly more expensive one. Preferably from a bigger brand - Denso, Koyo etc. guaranteed to be better quality in most cases and fit better.

Pros: better quality, better fit

MISHIMOTO Engine radiator

The Mishimoto all aluminum radiator (2 core) started leaking this past January (86k miles) in the top left corner (if you are facing the grill). From what I can tell with reviews, I was lucky to get 18k miles on that radiator.

Cons: started leaking, short lifespan
Vehicle: Jeep
Mileage: 28968 km

Rating 2.0

Two months ago I installed a Mishimoto radiator. Now im consistently mid 190's, temp goes to 205 regularly, and then fans come on and cools back down.

Cons: higher operating temperature
