Does anyone know which of the 3 radiators in the image below was stock on a 91' 22RE 4WD manual transmission? If you read the descriptions, none of these are the correct part.
Better yet - what are the actual differences between these three radiators? Where is the part # stamped on the OE radiator?
I want to replace my radiator, and 16400-35350 is available from my local dealer for about $280. I'm thinking it's worth the extra $60 over a CSF or Champion radiator.
CSF lists their #850 as the replacement for Toyota 16400-35350... 2 row, 1 5/16" thick.
CSF lists their #2314 as the replacement for Toyota 16400-35360...3 row, 2 1/16" thick
CSF lists their #2306 as the replacement for Toyota 16400-35380... 3 row, 2 1/16" thick, but 1" taller than the #2314 above.
Your local dealer should have been able to give you the part # for your radiator when they gave you the price.
As to which CSF radiator fits, seems like you could just go out to the truck and measure what you have to see what fits. Also measure the inlet/outlet port sizes.
I suggest you call CSF's office in Rancho Cucamonga, CA. Application table on CSF website is confusing at best.
I spoke with Ken at Rancho Cucamonga office and he verified that 2306 is drop-in fit for my 1986, 22R-E, 5-speed manual.
2314 and 2306 are same size and mounting except the core height. Both very good build quality.

The picture I posted is right from Toyota's part website. It shows that 16400-35350 'fits'. I don't think the 20 year old at the parts counter at my local dealer will have any additional info than what is listed, but I'll give it a shot.
Perhaps I should have asked my question in a different way -- "Could someone with a 1991 (or similar year) 22RE 4WD MT tell me the part # on their radiator?".

Thank you for sharing that thread. I included the CSF information in my post because it cross referenced the OE part #'s and showed the difference in sizing. Since that information is not available from Toyota, I thought it may be helpful to see which Toyota radiator each CSF radiator is based on. I'm leaning towards an OE radiator over CSF at this point because of some of the experiences I've read about CSF and OE is about the same price, but they are certainly my back up plan.
It should be the 35350, but the counter person should be able to determine the correct one with the vin. Having the customer make the call is just weak as s**t. That’s just a cop out in case it’s wrong. If you go in with the VIN, production date, and model number you’ve done your end.
Criminey, doesn’t anyone train these days?
edit: I think I misread the op and over reacted. It sounds like you did your own research without involving the dealer. So ignore my grump at poorly trained personnel.
but yes, supplied with the proper info any Toyota counter person should be able to identify the correct one for your vehicle. Toyota very rarely made it so you couldn’t narrow it down to the right one.

Agreed. The computer most of the work for them. Just give the Toyota person the full VIN and they can give you the part # Mama Toyota put into your truck, and what they suggest you replace it with today.

Yes, I did my own research using the dealers parts website as well as Toyota’s parts website. If the radiator needs replacing, I’ll call the dealer with my VIN and post back here.

Thank you, will do.
For what it’s worth — I pulled what I believe is my OE radiator today, and there’s no part # stamped on it. Anyone here with an OE radiator know if the part # is stamped on it?

I have found that Toyota's official parts website, parts.toyota.com, isn't all that accurate when you are looking for parts that fit your particular truck, even when entering your VIN. Toyota's parts website only uses your VIN to select a body style, it doesn't verify that the parts you find actually fit your particular truck.
The 20 year old at the parts counter will have Toyota's official electronic parts catalog, which uses your VIN to select the correct part, not just the body style. The official Electronic Parts Catalog will be similar to https://www.toyodiy.com/, which will also show the correct part numbers that are associated with your VIN. If you use ToyoDIY to find part numbers, just know that these are original part numbers and might have supersessions, and the pricing is not current. Your dealership is your best source to know what part number is supposed to belong on your truck. Once you know the correct part number, you can shop around.

Appreciate both of your replies with the additional great resources for part info. I ended up pulling my radiator and taking it to a local radiator shop for a refurbishment that cost me $50. If anyone stumbles on this thread looking for the same info, it looks like 16400-35350 is the stock radiator for this truck.
