Anyone tried radiator from Amazon?

Exactly, so you can take more of a risk

Sorry. I misread your post. I thought you were saying almost all rads would fail at 10 or 12 years in non-specific ways. I would have put a cooler in long ago if I had a slushbox.

My point is that, other than the one fail point in the ATF cooler, I think these rads will go quite a bit longer if there was good coolant maintenance from Day 1. If you have a manual or have bypassed the ATF cooler in the rad, there is no need for a preventive change on a well-performing rad with good maintenance. Spend that money on ball joints.

Gotta love Amazon Prime! Got my radiator today. Purchased the same one from the link the OP posted. Came in a Koyo box.

Wait, it's upside down. Is that some kind of distress signal, like an upside down flag? Are you being held hostage in the back of the FedEx truck? If I rotate the pic are you really giving it a thumbs down?
 
Lynol Radiator

That's strange... I ordered one up via that same link and ended up with a Lynol radiator. Anyone know if the Lynol radiators are the same or similar quality to TYC/Koyo?

A lot has to do with coolant maintenance. I've been running Toyota red in mine at 40k changes since new. I'm at 12 years and 137k and I don't see it worth a preventive swap (I have a manual, so no milkshake worries). My '66 Farmall tractor is on the original rad, and my '74 Mercedes died after 30 years with the original rad still good.

Where do you get your Toyota red coolant?
