I have been looking around for an upgraded radiator for my truck, but havnt really found anything. I was thinking of going to an aluminum radiator. All I have found is stock equivalents. Im running a 3.4 but still running my stock 3.0 radiator. I just want to know what you guys are running and what your opinions are, im looking for something better than stock, especially because the truck is going to be supercharged in the near future. (Have a Gen1 TRD Supercharger chillin in my room, awaiting the URD fuel mods as soon as funds permit)

 

i have been looking for an upgrade to my stock 3.0 raditator also....bump for a good topic...

 

mt_goat is installing a supercharged 3.4 with URD mods in his 4Runner, he will be using a Taurus Fan to cool the engine with the stock 3.0 radiator. We'll see if it can keep up...

Here's the thread about his progress:

I take it no one had an upgrade for the stock radiator other than aluminum?

I'm on my third radiator they seem to develop a leak on the front of the top tubes at the sides just under the top tank...

 

have you guys checked out radiator.com or radiatorbarn.com for radiators? my stock radiator was a two core; I bought a nice 3 core one, if you consider that an upgrade. I guess the question is, what exactly do you need? do aluminum radiators really work much better than say a three core with proper cooling fans & shrouds and possibly a different thermostat or drive pulleys? just some food for thought.
