2003 All aluminum radiator

[Bkt4runner]

I am thinking of getting this all aluminum radiator.

Would you recommend this over the factory plastic one? Has anyone used this before?

"Vehicle Notes: Manual Transmisson"

I wonder what the automatic transmission radiator looks like.

I'd like to know where he got the MT 4th gen to test.

I want one too.

Probably parts sharing with FJ. They came in manual.

Looks like you'd need a external A/T cooler to run this radiator.

It has no transmission cooler in it.

That's for a 3rd gen with the 3.4 OP has the 4.7 V8.

I searched a few months ago and couldn't find an all aluminum radiator for the 4th gen. I don't think anybody makes one.

Koyo

I ended up buying the Koyo all aluminum radiator with a Hayden tranny cooler. It’s a very clean setup.

Do you have a link for the aluminum Koyo radiator?

Edit: Never mind I found it on Koyo's website.

Those radiators are expensive because they're "Racing" radiators, so that automatically gives you 20 more HP, RIGHT???

I'll take some later this week. It's very clean and built to last. I went with oem rubber hoses since this is a street car and silicone hoses require you to constantly add coolant since they are 15x more permeable than rubber. . The main reason why I got this radiator was the sheer durability. I want something that would last forever and never leak. My goal is to go 1 million miles. And if they ever do leak you can always fix it by welding the crack in the aluminum. So no need to ever replace it ever again. I also replaced the entire coolant system. So all new oem rubber hoses and new fan clutch. Keep in mind you need to get an aftermarket tranny cooler but don't get one too big unless you are doing heavy duty towing.
