Yeah, I guess I was thinking more about the unit of measurement in terms of how long the chyna radiator & alternator lasted me. I addressed the brake issues very early on after acquisition

When I purchased my '97 Land Cruiser, about 28 months ago, it had a freshly installed NEW radiator and alternator, both were generic xyz cheap chyna parts, that I anticipated having to change some day. The day before before Thanksgiving, BOTH threw in the proverbial towel on the same day, no...

Thank you very much !!

Happy, I just found this thread (on external search engine), was about to post asking same questions, regarding my '97 Land cruiser. I did a cat delete on my '88 4Runner w/ 22RE and it improved performance like night & day (whereas a high-flow cat did nothing), and it actually passed emissions...
