Hello. I've got an 1985 4runner with an automatic transmission. The radiator appear to be the original stock radiator. Nothing currently wrong with it, but I want to avoid the pink milkshake. I originally wanted to the B&M aux cooler, but it wont fit, so now I am looking for a quality replacement radiator that has the trans cooler integrated into the radiator. Can someone please recommend a good replacement?

This is the radiator i put on my truck, is kind of pricey but i just wanted the best radiator in the market for it. https://www.radiatorexpress.com/pro...-3/4+TALL+CORE&part_id=218281&aaia_id=1272147
Thanks for the reply. I ended up ordering an CSF 850 last night for about $150 shipped. Its all metal, 2 core, with trans cooler. I have so much trash in my block I'm going to put the old radiator back in a flush it before putting the new rad in. Its supposed to be a drop in, I'll post an update once it arrives and I get it installed.

Bummer! Too bad I didn't see this thread sooner! Napa has a 3 core auto radiator that works really well! I also have a CSF 3 core auto in my truck right now that has been working very well for close to 12 years now, even when I'm idling with the a/c on in the heat of summer on the trails!
Well, the CSF850 bolted right up, looked promising, but the damn hood wont close. The radiator sits a little too tall. Not sure what my next move is gonna be.
Well, I have to admit when I'm wrong and I was wrong. Wasnt the radiator hitting, it was something else I left in the way. Radiator and hood are playing nice now. CSF 850 seems to be a good fit.
