Looking for a new radiator,

Looking for a new radiator. Read the reviews for the Autozone, Oreilys, Advance Auto, and they all have the same radiators. But the reviews are not very good, Plastic top and bottoms that leak and they are too tall to fit under the hood without banging on the hood support.

Just checking the community to see what else others have done to replace their rads.

What i have
1993 Toyota Pickup DLX Extra cab
22re 4x4 5spd

Thanks

Years ago I got mine from NAPA. I think it was $160. Had zero problems with it. I love NAPA.

I guess I should add it was on my 94 x cab 22re

I bought an Auto Zone about 3 or 4 years ago and have had no trouble with it at all. I have about 20k on it right now. I just replaced the radiator in my 95 f150 with an Oriellys that looked the same as the original that I took out of it, plastic and aluminum . That one lasted almost 20yrs. If you have access to a copper and can afford it, then Im sure they are far better as is aluminum , but I for one have had good luck with the plastic things they make today...........

I run the CSF 3 row Brass and Copper in all my Toyota`s only for the ease of emergency repairs just in case.
