Any update on the PARKS all metal one? I would be interested in one of these. I might also do some measuring on my 3 core in my 90 pickup. If the mounting holes are similar in the core support, the thickness would be the next thing to check.

That would be a YES. Same design as the factory OEM ones.

What keeps a Koyo rad from doing the same thing an OEM rad does then with the strawberry milkshake issue?

Nothing. Keep in mind that the milkshake happens at 120K+ miles on a factory radiator. I doubt the milkshake would be a problem with a new radiator. I would probably run an external cooler inline with the factory cooler if I was running larger tires.

Not for normal people... (my 96 owners manual says nothing about replacing the rad) but, for people who live on Toyota forums like this one, yes it's completely normal.
And yes ARKRWLR a new Koyo could last forever, 120K or a week before milkshaking. Which is why I bypassed mine as soon as I put it in. I sleep well at night.

Replaced mine with a Koyo @ 138k. 10k later its fine. Using the yellow coolant. Should I use the red stuff?

yes... that dexcool clone will eat through your seals and gaskets. at the very least use zerex Asian for peak global.

Thanks for that, will order. I hope they are reliable and the rad will fit and is good stuff.
Now thinking whether should I try to install it myself or get it done. I like tinkering around, but I've never worked on this truck!

So we should only use the Red Toyota coolant, not the others available at say walmart?
