Trans cooler or new radiator?

[Kotletachka]

I'm wondering whether I should buy and aftermarket trans cooler or spend a little more and purchase an all aluminum radiator with an integrated trans cooler? Approaching 250k on this 4runner and I do not want to be left stranded!

I would get a new radiator

My own money went to a radiator, so that's my vote.

100% radiator.

In Wash I'm thinking unless you tow and/or climb mountain passes a lot and don't like using OD override then add the cooler in addition to the New radiator.

Now you're set. Luck and enjoy the runner. :cowboy:

I went with a new radiator...trans cooler that i purchased is just collecting dust in a box on the shelf.

New radiator.

New radiator it is. Thanks

Buy the ~$100 Denso radiator every 5 years it's cheap insurance and spend the $40 on the trans cooler and run it after the radiator. I'm assuming you have an auto trans.

Do both. It's good to keep your trans temps down especially if you venture into the mountains. It's money well spent.
