1985 toyota pickup 22re radiator replace

Hey all I tried to do some searching on this topic everything I was finding was years old and company's were not in business anymore. So within my own research I was searching for a new radiator for my 22re I was looking at 3 cores as that's what people seemed to be doing as an upgrade. I was looking at csf's? As they seem to be reputable and drop in with almost the same measurements. Does any one else have any ideas?

About other thing I spent a little time trying to find out we're about the plastic shroud, mine is a little broken

Also about using the Taurus electric fan, more specifically I could not find a wright up on this.

Thank you.

I used the search function on Google using the key word Yota tech. Nothing recent and most all were to a company that is no longer around,

The are to many variables and choices some say direct fit but who knows if that's true.

Thanks for your contribution

Also most all just grab a junkyard radiator or one from auto zone from what a saw, and from what you read in my first post that's not what I am looking for...

google this exact phrase:

csf radiator site:yotatech.com

i had a big 3 row csf all-metal radiator, it was heavy, and it didn't cool nearly as well as the $119 aluminum/plastic radiator that i have now... possible mitigating circumstances, but i'll never buy another csf radiator, they are well over $200.

Check with a local radiator shop. I have had mine serviced or re-cored cheaper than new and sometimes with an American or Canadian core. (Copper/Brass)

They can probably order something of quality for you. I have had good luck with Chinese aluminum radiators too. The ones with one or two rows and welded not bonded tanks.

My parents have been running the auto zone 3 core for 10-12 years no problems
For the shroud go to mighty mouse. It took me 6 months to find one local that was complete and not busted just bite the bullet and pay to have one shipped in
