Ok, so I've been going through as many radiator posts as I can find and there's ben some really good information, like THIS POST HERE where it mentions on Page 3 about a good Koyo
Sidenote: I'm not seeing any discoloration on my radiator top tank housing, and the dash gauge never (as of yet) gets above "Normal"; coolant is still green after the last several years...I don't think I NEED to replace the radiator, BUT, I'm redoing the cooling system (Mentioned in previous posts) so I'm kind of assuming I should just replace the radiator as PM and keep the old one "on hand" as a back up.
I've narrowed it down to either Denso or KoyoRad (for OEM Part # 16400-66081) and I'm leaning towards Denso.
Does anyone know if THIS DENSO RADIATOR is a straight swap into a 1997 rig?
Pros? Cons?
I'm trying to stay at the $300 or less budget mark but can/will (with some side-eye and grumbling) go to $500-ish if NEEDED.
Thanks in advance!
