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
