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.
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.

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.

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.

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).
Per the email I got from Mishimoto:
