No. Not yet. Haven't had time...and need a few more parts to cover the "while you're in there" side of things.
I have no problems nor recall any with the koyo. Seems like a solid choice for the money.Local Yota dealership (Virginia Beach) quoted me $750 for a radiatorI should of asked if that included install. So looks like I’ll be heading a different route. Just a shame, after going through this thread all of the alternatives have had a problem one way or another.
I’ve decided to take my chance on this all aluminum radiator from Amzn. I’ll post back if it even gets installed after out of box inspection, and results if installed. I don’t really want another rad with plastic tanks and this one would be rebuildable down the road.

My Koyo rad was a good one, no issues and the fit was perfect, craftmanship looks great as well and i didn't have any bent fins. Very happy overall and it survived the nasty heat wave we had over the summer.
My Spectra is weeping a trace amount of trans fluid from the inlet fitting- Ive tightened it before- but continues to appear slightly wet after a time. No drips on the skid plate so its not leaking any measurable volume, just annoying as I have to monitor it constantly.
Remove the fitting and put some Teflon tape on it? That little weep would drive me nuts and worry me.
Good suggestion thanks.
Just ordered a mishimoto aluminum radiator. Those of you who installed these, what hoses worked best for you? Toyota or...

Mine has been sitting in the closet since October...no time and not urgent at the moment, but I got it on sale. I did test fit new Toyota OEM hoses and they fit well.
Thanks! Mine apparently just sprung a leak so it's pretty urgent. I've got 307k on the original radiator so it was on my "need to get to list" already. Was going to order the oem for 384 but decided to take a chance on this shiny one. I like the lifetime warranty too.
I called them and they have them in stock ready to ship. But their sparks NV location is shut down this week. So mine is shipping from Delaware so it won't get here till next week.
What was the sale price? Was it lower than 450$?

I got it for just below $400. However this radiator did have a on pre-order sale for around $350 or $375 a few days before I pulled the trigger.

Would love to hear feedback once someone gets one of these all-aluminum ones installed. I like the idea of all metal, and also have a weakness for under-hood bling....
Can these be set up with a temp-controlled and switchable (for deep-ish water) fan to replace the crankshaft fan? In my Rover days I remember Allisport making some stinking gorgeous radiator setups with the option of fan packs....so hot.
