I did the search for strawberry milkshake and didnt find what i was looking for. Im looking to see if anybody has used a good radiator to hook up to the tranny cooler lines. My 4runner has 186,000 miles and i dont want problems with the stock radator. Im not sure if its been replaced or not.

The radiator I picked up from www.performanceradiator.com has been doing a good job for the past 3 years in my Tacoma. That said, I also run an external cooler (Tru-Cool 4454) and do not use the one in the radiator.

Best prevention is an external Trans cooler... but I too want to upgrade to a better radiator and do an external cooler just to nix the whole S.Shake

Thanks for the replys. If i put in a trans cooling radator, the stock radator will be fine with out the anything hocked up to trans cooler lines?

Yes just cap it.

Yes, the radiator will be ok. However, to prevent dumping your coolant if the radiator/trans cooler interface should fail, clamp a piece of hose between the two trans hose ports as in post 13 here:

or cap both ports as said above....either works.

I prevented the shake by changing the radiator to one with without a built in trans cooler and ran an external hayden and its worked great!
