Huh?

They are $345.10 and change + shipping from CDan.

16400-66040

Wait, now i can get an OEM radiator cheaper than an aftermarket???? (I was priced locally at 380-ish for Koyo)

WE ARE ALL GONNA DIE- THIS IS THE END!!!!

Ok, I'm overreacting but this is just not-logical. Sounds great!

If price is your motivating factor, then you have lots of sources.

If expertise and care and support are important factors, buying from CDan or other supporting vendors makes sense.

Price is a factor but buying a radiator more than once makes for a bad price. My first 80 (different rig) radiator was a CSF with a lifetime warrantee from radiatorbarn.. No problems- lucky for me. I bought a CSF for my 22re truck and less than a year later I had a leak and guess who is out of business. I think I bought a good cheap one once for an 80 that has since been sold but it was decent quality.
I'm sold on OEM but if I can find parts from the OEM mfg. at a reduced priced cool. I'm going OEM on this one. It will be replacing a cheap, poor fitting replacement and the rig has 220k on it so this will probably be the third radiator- no head gasket issues and the motor isn't the original. Thanks for the hot tip. I was truly shocked and surprised, last time I checked the OEM ones were crazy high- either that or the aftermarket ones have gone up a lot...

TRAD radiators went down in price due to price fixing allegations by the DOJ. They pleaded guilty to price fixing in the parts they supplied Toyota. Hence why they went down significantly.

Coupled with the fact that AM radiators are getting more expensive due to the rise in raw costs to manufacture them.
