New radiator question?
The factory radiator in my 86 tojo 4runner just took a dive it seems to be leaking from the fins on the back side between the fan schroud. My question is who makes a good aftermarket radiator? If i was to buy one I would like to upgrade seeing that is how I like to do it when something fails I like to replace with something better. So what is a good upgraade and where is a good place to pick one up???
Thanks
Sean

Well Its going to be hard to find a radiator better than the factory Toyota rad, but it can be done for about $500. If your looking for something more in the $120-140 range with a lifetime warranty go with the radiatorbarn.com or radiator.com. If you really want to upgrade go with a custom aluminum racing rad. http://www.alumrad.com/

Get a 3-row heavy duty radiator (same as used in the turbos), probably runs under $150.00 for the on-line radiator places. I run a GoDan in my '85:
