looking for another Radiator for the 4runner

[Devilmans Hand]

Hey folks

My new to me v6 4runner radiator just sprung a leak on me after only 7miles of being swapped in there. I'm considering having it fixed, either by myself or by a shop, but i'd rather just swap in something known to be good.

Does anyone have an extra radiator they's sell that might work with the 22re in my 1986 4runner? I'm looking for something bigger than the dinky 4cyl one.

Maybe a landcruiser radiator will fit in there?

my truck fund is depleted so i'm looking for options.

Did you post up in the Bay to Blue ridge club, bunch of mini trucks/runners over there.

If the radiator is anything like the one for the 22RE in my old Celica, the Land Cruiser radiator will dwarf it.

There is a good and (more important) cheep rediator guy but he is in winchester.

i swapped in a v6 3 core 4runner radiator into it and that certainly makes the 22re type radiator look tiny. I still have the old radiator barn 22re type radiator, but there is a big section where the cooling fins are corroded out.
I hadn't posted up in the Bay to Blueridge section. I was wanting to stay local and fix/replace the radiator sooner than later.
think i'll try and fix it myself first and see what happens. Prob tinker with it later this week.

Isn't there a lifetime warranty for Radiator Barn stuff?

I was wondering about that, but it came with the truck. Like most warranties, i'm guessing that the warranty is only extended to the original purchaser and there would have to be a receipt made available.

fixed with some solder and a blow torch.
had to test it a couple times, and found a second crack opposite to the other one.

You never know if you can fix it unless you give it a try.
