where can i find another brass one like the original without going to a dealership

 

no it's plastic and aluminum I think but I aint had any problems outta of it you just gotta make sure flush A new one.

 

Unfortunately I was not able to find a whole lot of choices available when it came to an all metal OEM replacement radiator for my 94 which is why I went with the CSF radiator that I mentioned in an earlier post. I do not know how good CSF radiators are but the one I received seems to be well built and dropped right in just like the stock radiator. I am now on my 3rd radiator in 22 years. The original radiator only lasted approx. 5 years, I then picked up another all metal radiator from a local radiator shop and it last up until this past year but had to be repaired a couple of times.

The best prices I found at the time I was looking at the CSF's were on Amazon but they were not in stock so I turned to eBay. I know they make the 3 row and I think also a 2 row. As I mentioned in a prior post Amazon has the 2056 for 231 + free ship +tax and there is a 3rd party selling it for 216 + free shipping

So far no complaints out of the one I installed but it has only been a couple of months and only time will tell.

There are some really good threads here on yotatech about radiators, hit that search button!!!!!!!

 

Here's a handy link for figuring out which CSF radiator folks might want for their trucks:

There's a chart towards the bottom of the page that shows all the radiators they make for older Toyota trucks.

 

I bought all my Radiators through the now gone Radiator Barn .

People complained about them but I had great luck

 

holy forks! radiator barn sure rings a bell. i think that's where i may have gotten the one for my '86! chances are great i can find some old posts of mine asking around/talking about rad's and radiator barn's probably mentioned among them.

 

i think that davez offroad has the three-row csf radiators? http://www.davezoffroadperformance.c...radiators.html

lce will also have something high-end.

but really all you need is one of those cheap rockauto radiators, could probably also get it from the local flaps... i got the SPECTRA PREMIUM/COOLING DEPOT CU147 on 4/2013 and it's still working fine, knock on wood.

i've offroaded it pretty hard on my sas'd 4runner, no leaks so far.
