Best Radiator
My '96 T100 5VZ-FE auto needs a radiator. I read a bunch of posts here warning about the auto store chains cheap radiators and about other auto part store radiators that require hardware and/or fabrication. I've also seen some posts about high performance radiators that costs >$250 but all I need is a radiator that will last as long as my original (145K) and is a direct fit. I've searched the Internet a lot but cannot seem to find what I need. If you have replaced yours I would like to know what you used and how it went. I appreciate your input.

Thanks for the response Don. My T's OEM rad is a plastic cap model and believe it or not the tanks are in excellent shape, it's the core that has started leaking. I've kept the coolant in my T fresh since I've owned it so the innards are as clean as a whistle and as red as it was when it was new(Pentofrost A1). I looked up CSF radiators and the only thing that's come up so far is a plastic tank model. You wouldn't happen to have the all metal CSF radiator part # for my T100 would you?
