^There is a facebook group dedicated to LBJ failures in 3rd gen 4runners and 1st gen Tacomas where users have been posting for decades. I know I had seen at least one example on here where the owner had them checked out recently and they still failed. Look up the Toyota LBJ Failure Support group. It has 8400 members.

Pink milkshakes also happen and nuke transmissions.

It would be preferable to replace both before the failure mode takes place. The LBJs are a few hundred bucks and the failure mode is likely to total your vehicle and risks hurting you and/or others.

The radiator's transmission cooler failing will lead to your transmission failing and there is really no way to check its integrity. The feedneck of the radiator failing is likely to result in a head gasket and/or warped heads.

Best to have a baseline for these items. Other than those things and rust, it's pretty much only accidents that take these things out.
