If price is not a concern, go with a Ron Davis radiator.

Or consider TYC1918, more efficient than OE Toyota radiator.

I'm not a very good lab rat lol. I am also trying to spare my head gasket and strain. It need to work well, right away.

Why not replace it with an original Toyota/TRAD radiator? Fits and works as designed, looks right, and will last another 20+ years.

After a bit of research and thanks to you and the others here, I have decided to go OEM. Just ordered it and a new fan shroud. Thanks for the assist

based on what data??

I went with Koyo for an OEM replacement. It was right around $200 - works good, fit good, like a radiator should.

I installed 2 Denso's in 6 months, both seams leaked in different places. Got fed up with bargin priced Rad's and bought 1 from Toyota. So far so good.
Sometimes OEM is the best option. Good luck

based on what data??

A lot of the Arizona guys installed the TYC and saw around 10 degree drop in temp vs OEM radiators under the same conditions. This was the "Tools R Us" go-to radiator, which to me says a lot. The TYC cools the best of probably all of them (including OEM) other than the Ron Davis, but there's a 60/40 chance it will be damaged in shipping or have some other QC issue when it arrives. At $140, roll the dice. If you're not in a super-hot environment or don't have any temp trouble in general, OEM or Ron Davis would be the best choice for quality.

 

[Kernal]

Only thing working against TYC is where it's manufactured, but that's not tech.
The reason I chose the Toyota/TRAD radiator was because it works in most situations, fit correctly, came with the foam, and just looked correct. FWIW

Go OEM and modify your fan clutch if you live in a year round hot location. Many threads on this or buy a pre modified clutch at wits end.

They quoted me $1105 plus shipping before the Corona Chan happened...however they will honor a military discount for $55.00 off.
