What brand of radiator do I get?
My 88 4 Runner, 3.0, just started weeping coolant out the top of the radiator. Should I get it reconditioned or buy a new one? And what kind should I buy(and where)? Thanks

radiator barn
They are drop in stock replacements, although mine had a few minor differences from the stock radiator. Nothing that affects performance though. Good price, quick delivery. Had to straighten some of the fins with a screwdriver; something poked a couple big holes in the box and touched them.

Oh yeah - also I third the Radiatorbarn rec. The one I got looked pretty generic but fit great, works great. Put it in 2 years ago now - haven't given the cooling system a second thought since. Probably should now that I realize it's been two years......

I to bought from Radiatorbarn, quick delivery and fit great
I upgradged from the 2row (22r) to the 3row and have been extremely happy with it. Truck never ever ever overheats, even in 90F+ crawlin the mountains. Love it!
