You would think they would make them better, After the factory PHH expairment finally started leaking at 230K, then at 245k the factory radiator had a crack in the top tank... 245k and 14 years you would think they would make them better Well at least it still has the stock head gasket, ----
It actually was a good time because I need to fix the oil pump leak and change the power steering hose... I also after a little searching found a KOYO radiator dealer that shipped one to my house for about 270$ and it came in the same packaging the 450$ one I bought from Toyota for the other cruiser...
Just so everyone knows in the 97 black cruiser I put a cheep 160$ aftermarket radiator when I did the head gasket because I didn't want to pay for a Toyota radiator and it lasted 2 years and split a tank. So pay the money and get a KOYO (who makes them for toyota) or a Toyota radiator. It is worth the extra money...
