Radiator Question

[ttubb]

I was wheeling yesterday in the mountains around here and when I returned I have a small leak coming from somewhere in the radiator (orig as far as I know). 1995 Landcruiser.

Question: Does anyone have any experience with NAPA or aftermarket radiators? OEM is 3 core brass and about $350, NAPA is about 250 and CarQuest has an alum/plastic for about $285.

I tend to go with genuine Toyota but I thought I would ask. Thanks, Terry

Bought this from Amazon. It is Koyo radiator inside. They boxed Koyo box in their own brown box. I made sure I could return if it was not Koyo inside. It is exactly like OEM except for the logo and without the foam on top. It was about $30 cheaper last year.

I have a brass aftermarket from BAP. Never had an issue with it. If I had the time to wait for shipping, I would have likely gone with a Koyo.

Check with Merle's, better yet give Rex a call, he might be able to get you a better discount.

Well, I am in the mountains of Colorado in Crested Butte right now or that would be an excellent idea.

I ordered the one Medtro suggested from Amazon today. Thanks, T

I'm a little late to the party on this but we sell OSC brand radiators. It's a plastic/aluminum radiator, same as factory. I've had one in my 80 for the past couple years without issue. Fit correctly. CSC price $172.99+tax.
