Right now I have 230k on my stock radiator. I have a 96 limited 4x4, but I will be replacing it soon as I am dealing with over heating.

the stocker in for the full pull....that appears to be the exception. This milkshake thing only happens with the Runners. Tacomas seem to not suffer from it. Not sure why. 230k and an overheating prob.....I bet the issue was you were overheating mostly on the highway?
