KOYO model A1998 aftermarket Radiator...???

I will be replacing the Radiator on my 1999 4 runner after the infamous Milk shake incident the other week involving a blown trans cooling line.

Ever here of KOYO brand Radiators 134.95 at goparts.com. With a lifetime warrenty. Great price compaired to about $500.00 OEM (with a 12,000 warrenty).

Several people said that KOYO was one of the best aftermarket radiators. around... Any opinions on this aftermarket brand?

I bought a rad for my 99 yesterday from Spectra Premium. They are known for quality rads. I wanted one with the aluminum core and plastic tanks the same as oem. I am happy with how the rad looks but I did not like the made in China sticker on the side coming from a Canandian manufacturer. I believe this is why the economy is turning to .

I sell Koyo Radiators and they are one of the best if not "the best" aftermarket OE style radiators. We pressure tested all of the brands that we sell and the Koyo was the strongest out of plastic aluminum rads.

I went to goparts.com but couldn't quite figure it out. I looked and our part #1998 that we have in stock is a Koyo. If you wanted you could go our Chicago location and pick it up, they have it in stock, and not have to deal with an internet company. I am sure we could match that price including shipping. Its in a Performance Radiator box but the part is build and stamped by Koyo.

I remember seeing a lot of KOYO parts on older toyota's mainly bearings ie wheel,idler's,compressors,ect..And they stood the test of time on those cars..This was when you would only see Denso,Nipon-Denso,Asin,Panasonic and Koto parts on the cars...

Its scary now-a-days seeing....delco,and GM cast on parts under the hood....EEEEkkk

THey were going to charge me 134.95 plus 15.00 to ship to my address. I agree with not having to deal with a internet company.

You have a deal.
When can I pick up the unit and what is the phone number and address to pick up the Koyo unit?

sorry for hijiacking.

mpavolka

Do you have any branch office in South East Michigan area ?

By the way, I once used gopart.com for Koyo rad for my other car (Acura). gopart.com did fast ship correct part. But still, I would also prefer to deal locally...

Thank you in advance.
