Replaced my radiator, installed a trans cooler and gave her a good flush. Have to say though, im pretty unhappy about the TYC radiator i got from amazon. It did not come boxed or labeled as a koyo like others have received.
From my research i half expected "fitment issues," but it straight up did not fit. Luckily i was at a friends shop because we needed to cut grind and weld on the support brackets to make them clear between the frame. Granted my problem was exacerbated by my arb brackets, but even without those present, the supports would have been pinched between the frame rails and at the first sign of frame flex who knows what would have happened.
Also it was missing a bolt, one of the plastic mounting tabs was already cracked, support bracket mounting tabs were bent, etc. definitely not near the quality of the oem i was replacing.
Was half tempted to return it but i really wanted to rest easy not worrying about a milkshake at 180k miles so we made do.
I dont doubt i received a lesser radiator then the koyos people have been getting but personally i would not buy another TYC. Fwiw nowhere on the radiator or packaging was there any indication of anything branded koyo.
Gripe complete, moving on.
