Aftermarket Radiator?

[RiverRat37]

I'm pretty sure I have an aftermarket radiator. When I bought my 4runner I got a stack of service records with it but nothing about a radiator. I don't know if they may have had a milkshake or not in the past but as far as engine and transmission performance it is great. Actually it is better than my wife's 2007 Civic. As of now the 4runner has 125k miles on it. Should I worry about changing it still even though it appears to have been changed before? I have pics of the radiator posted on my photobucket page. Click on it and view them and see what you guys think. Thanks

RR,

Yours looks stock to me. My stock that went bye bye long ago had the PA66-GF25 marking on it.

Koyo 1998A is the model you want as a replacement. Go ahead and change out both hoses, the Tstat, and the radiator cap at the same time. 290K miles is impressive.

Yeah man my '86 4runner was a tank... I had it thru my wild years so it saw a LOT of wild rides, mostly Wild Turkey induced rides I wish I'd kept and rebuilt it but I needed money and it was the first to go. I drove that thing from the NC mountains to Daytona, FL for spring break partying in 1997 when it had 240,000 miles and it never skipped a beat all the way there and back. I guess over 290,000 miles was a pretty good lifetime for it.
