HA! bubble wrap? what's bubble wrap? never seen it in any of the boxes shipped to me...

I can't even find my coolant nipple. there's just a hole in the side of my box where it punched through. along with various other holes.

I paid $119.85 for mine from Camelback a year ago with a bunch of other stuff for the job; belts, hoses, caps , etc. Mine arrived undamaged and everything was in perfect condition. All mounting tabs and holes lined up perfect so there was no fitment issues. It has a Denso sticker on it and I believe it was made in Taiwan. It has been perfect the past year and if I remember right it was cheaper than anything from Napa.

yeah my (broken) one is made in Taiwan as well. do you remember how yours was packed?

If I remember right it had foam protectors running along the top and bottom. Then it was wrapped in bubble wrap with a few smaller parts thrown in the box. It was packaged well enough apparently and there was no noticable damage to the box from shipping.

There is a big difference in the country of origin. For example, I bought a toyota battery made in Mexico and it lasted barely 46 months. Johnson Control batteries made in US easily lasted 60+ months.
Tacoma made in the US and hilux made in Thailand are not as good as a Hilux made in Japan. The depreciation of a hilux made in Japan is very low. Scotty Kilmer for example says when buying a toyota choose the one made in Japan over any other country.

I had to replace my radiator in August, a transmission cooling line fitting blew off. I'm curious about the TPD part# listed above. When looking into OE & aftermarket replacements, I'd encountered several different part numbers, none of which match what's posted above (16410-YZZAJ):

OEM Radiator 16400-75180 - Replaced by 16410-AZ011: $112 Conicelli
OEM Radiator 16400-75181: $316 Conicelli
Denso Radiator 221-0508 $96 Rock Auto

Oddly, Amayama still shows active stock of the original 75180 - for a mere $625.

I'm not sure which one I wound up with as it was replaced by the local mechanic I limped to after adding a few quarts of ATF. It surely wasn't a $300 radiator though, as the whole bill was less than that. It says Denso; but not Toyota. I would like to resolve the part number discrepancies, however, for future reference.
