Personally, I prefer a new Koyo radiator as milkshake prevention.
1. you get a new radiator on an old truck
2. less connections/hose to leak/fail
They may be a resonable option for rock crawling in the desert at slow speed or if you tow stuff.
just my .02

yes, it is, didn't think of that. Just so you know the koyo a1998 is $140 shipped
96-02 Toyota 4Runner KOYO Radiator A1998 1640075181
The main thing is to prevent it one way or another

I prefer a new Koyo radiator as milkshake prevention. - Disagree, new parts can and do fail. While it's reasonable to expect a new radiator to not fail, you still run the risk of the milkshake.
1. you get a new radiator on an old truck-true, and even if you run an external cooler, let's not forget that the radiators main function is to cool the engine, not the trans. Good idea to replace with age.
2. less connections/hose to leak/fail-again, disagree. No more fittings than running it to the radiator. It's the same set up from the trans to the cooler as it is from the trans to the radiator.
THE ONLY GUARANTEE you can have for preventing the milkshake is to run an external cooler and bypass the one in the radiator. If you have you trans running into the radiator, you ALWAYS run the risk of the milkshake.

I find it easier to just to perform proper car maintenance.
My radiator wasn't replace when I bought the vehicle at 180k. 80k overdue for a radiator, radiator was the 1st thing I bought.

Easier, sure. But it doesn't guarantee you won't have the milkshake. The only guarantee you'll have is to sperate them.

Here's mine: http://www.toyota-4runner.org/3rd-g...nsmission-cooler-5757-temp-gauge-install.html
But here is what it looks like since I moved it to make room for a winch. If your not doing any towing of heavy off roading, this model will be too big for you.

These aren't the best pics, but this is where I mounted mine, behind the lower plastic bumper valence.
Probably should have mounted it closer to the condenser, but oh well. The cooler is kinda big but the weather in Hawaii is pretty warm for the most part, at least compared to the mainland that is.

Well, I say too big for just a dd, but no one knows the actual BTU rating of the OE cooler. So when buying an auxillary cooler, all you do is guess wether or not it will be undersized, adequate or overkill. All any of us can do is report on how their cooler works, in their climate with their driving habits. The only actual recommendation for aux coolers I have ever seen was from B&M. They say if you are using JUST the aux cooler and NOT in conjuction with a radiators cooler, to use the one I have. That being said, I dont think anyone has reported ill effects with the smaller ones in normal driving conditions.
