I may have missed this in the threads, but curious if anyone has recommendations for replacement radiators for a 1989 FJ62 (automatic) which would require the trans coolant line hookup? Having a little trouble finding something online and in stock. I ordered a champion radiator but realized when it came in it didn't have the trans coolant line hookup.

Did you look at CSF or Mishimoto?

Those are the 2 that seem to be best after market option. But most of the sellers don't clearly state if trans cooler hookup is on the radiator, for example when I do see the CSF specification comment it states "Integrated transmission oil cooler when applicable."
I am paying closer attention to this now as the Champion radiator was marketed on JEGS as a 1981-1990 Land Cruiser radiator but didn't look close at the specifications that said no transmission cooler hookup until after I ordered. I don't think Champion makes a radiator for the automatic FJ62s from what I can gather.
My CSF had a trans cooler.

Had a mishimoto in my old 62, fit perfectly. Have one in my current 60 as well. Can’t beat the lifetime warranty
I got a CSF a few years ago, it cools fine but I had to pull it back out after just 2 weeks because it was leaking at the top seam. The shop fixed it of course but that's a lot of wasted time and effort... and a year later after the warranty was up I discovered it started leaking at the bottom seam. Not real happy about it.
My brass CSF leaked at the bottom seams. I rebuilt it and I’m using it in my 62 now, but no longer with a cooler since I went 5 speed.

That’s an 80 series radiator.
Cancel it and spent a few more bucks and get a Mosley radiator. They advertise them for LS swaps but they can make them for stock trucks too if you email them.

thank you all for the feedback! I should have waited to order, likely go with the mishimito or the Mosley.

What are the Mosleys going for? Ron Davis quoted me about 1100, custom build to spec.

He just quoted me 2100 for radiator, fan, shroud for LS conversion.
I just plunked down $500 for a Mishimoto, but wasn't able to order direct from them as they just within the last month stopped offering it. Luckily I was able to get it from Down East Offroad, who are a certified dealer, so I can still take advantage of the lifetime warranty (if there's still any part/warehouse support for the thing by the time I should ever need to take advantage of it).
