thank you, Zack and Output Shaft... i thought so.. i received CSF2709 and it was wrong!Zack is correct
What is the mfg date on the 2709? Playing devils advocate that maybe current build date rads could be superseding old p/n.
EPC has only one part # for USA FJ62s.
I've seen this issue before, and what I *think* has happened is, CSF used to make a 2706 for FJ60s (what I have in mine). At some point, they switched over to just one model radiator for both FJ60s and 62s. So they 2708 is what's now listed for FJ60, but it has a A.T. cooler you need to plug.
HOWEVER, if the CSF flackery is correct, the 2708 is a more robust rad with 4-core vs 3 for the 2709. I do not know if there are differences in the FJ60 vs 62 core support for either one to bolt up the same without mods. But the cooling capacity may be the same since the core of the 2709 is more surface area, larger.
It looks like CSF is confused and has split the radiator by engine instead of by year and lumps FJ62's & FJ80's together, when they should lump the 60 & 62 together.
The 2708 is the one to get for both 60s & 62s. As S.S. says, it has an AT cooler, which allows you to use it for either. The cooler is sealed from the radiator, so you don't have to cap it unless you just want to keep mud & critters out.
I run a 2708 on my 60 and it is virtually indistinguishable by visual inspection from the stock radiator that it replaced (the stock one leaked since new). It looks and weighs the same.

Cam, I just bought 2708 and you’re saying it’s all good not to plug those to open bottom holes? I’m in a late model 60 (85) fluid won’t come spewing out of those? They are a totally separate reservoir? Could it be used as a power steering cooler?
You got it, it’s a separate tube/cooler inside the bottom tank. It will only leak if defective.
You could use it as a cooler, but it will most likely be a warmer more often than a cooler.
