Radiator working well? The OEM unit in mine let go last weekend. Looking at this one for replacement as my local Toyota dealer want $600 for OEM. Fan shroud fit.ok?
Going on two years now and no problems. Drove it around the first summer without a fan shroud and never near overheating in traffic on 38°C (100°F) days.

FWIW the small O-ring for the short suction pipe on the side of the PS pump is known to leak when it gets old, and the High Pressure hose will need a new double crush washer (will get a leak if resuse the old one). HTHs

Regarding my power steering, I went through and bought a used pump and rebuilt it, put a new Gates high pressure line, and used the remainder of the hoses from Wit's End for feed/return lines.

Burped it and my steering is better than ever!

Doesn't leak a single drop.

See if you can order from Olathe Toyota and if they will ship.

I walked in and purchased one 4 weeks ago for $406+tax I believe. It was in stock.

McGeorge would not ship one.

Yeah, I usually order from McGeorge and confirmed they won't ship. Haven't checked with Olathe yet but they have it listed on their website. Also trying to get a local dealer to price match. Really tempted to try the aluminum radiator though.
