For Sale FJ45 / FJ40 : Used Radiator

[AYM707]

Vehicle Model

1. 40 Series
2. 45 Series

Location

Canada

Pulled from a 1983 FJ45; but will fit most FJ40's. This is an original Toyota radiator.

I needed to repair / plug some holes in my radiator. So I asked a local radiator "specialist" to plug the holes & weld a new drip drain connector, pressure test it, and re-paint it. Unfortunately, he used the "wrong" paint and I lost 2-3C delta on the heat transfer and resulted in my engine over-heating. Eventually, I just replaced the radiator. All you have to do is strip the old paint and re-paint it with the "right" paint.

Radiator is located in Toronto, Canada. Best price + SH.

no that's just paint. it was applied in a very bad way. The radiator was pressure tested at the shop before I installed it.

Crud, and I just threw one out last week.... I didn't think anyone would want an old radiator.

So they painted over bent fins? That sounds like more of the problem than paint

you really need to feel it, its very heavy / thick. yes, there are bent fins...40 years of abuse...but I never had an over heating issue before. And that includes driving in the summer heat of Doha.

The dimensions of the radiator are as follows :

• Width (flange-to-flange) : 22" [560mm]
• Height-1 : 20.5" [520mm]
• Height-2 : 21.25" [540mm]
• Thickness : 3.25" [80mm]
• Inlet & Outlet Diameter : 1.5" [40mm]

This was pulled from my FJ45 which had a factory AC. I drove my FJ45 in Qatar during the summer, (typically +45C) with no overheating issues. I dont know if this was the "larger" Toyota radiator version, but dont understand why Toyota would install a small radiator for a vehicle in the desert.

The reason I had to change it, was that I got the shop in Toronto to weld a brass fitting instead of the plastic drain cock. The radiator dude also painted the radiator, but I suspect the paint was old / very thick; ie it was a poor job. I lost 2-4 C in the heat transfer which was too much for the overall system. I replaced the radiator from my FJ40, and the overheating issues were gone!!! The radiator was pressure tested and there are no leaks.

Hope this answers the questions.
