Radiator for manual transmission 4runner

Holy shit man, you have a very clean engine bay. Like just off the showroom floor style clean. That isn't something I could ever do but hats off to you guys that can.

LOL, I have dirt & mud stains in the engine bay they the pressure washer can't even get out, even after soaking in Purple Power. LOL
 
Nothing wrong with my radiator, but the shop is telling me I should replace it cause it's cracking? I see what MIGHT be hairline cracks...maybe??

Is it a good idea to replace them due to age?

If you have an auto 4runner it is definitely a good idea to get it replaced, when they are older than 100k miles the rads are known for corroding internally and leaking coolant into the transmission cooler.
 
Koyorad VH010665N is an all aluminum option for the manual transmission. It can also be used on autos with an external trans cooler

No, I have the 5 speed. I get the auto is a good reason to replace, just wondering if with a manual is worth replacement. He's saying the plastic is an issue??

Have also heard good things about Koyorad.
Tried to buy one of their units for my manual transmission equipped 95 T100 but nothing available. Had to go with an aftermarket plastic tank unit from an online source “1A Auto”.
Had been hoping I could locate an OEM unit but no way.
