Where is the sobbing like a baby emoticon? Can't make this stuff up...

All within the last 5 months...

I noticed just yesterday when I was under the front of the truck, the infamous pink crusty stuff on the bottom of the radiator.

coolant leaking are most likely from the water pump, maybe the liquid just traveled a bit.

I got all kinds of parts coming this week - rotors, calipers, pads, stainless steel brake lines and a new radiator.

Any reason why you chose Koyo vs Denso? Isn't Denso OEM supplier for Lexus/Toyota?

I'm just curious, that's all.
I've used Koyo before on Nissan and i was very happy.

No problem. Purchased based on reviews.

I think my radiator has a pin hole leak at the lower left corner(driver side) not a major concern for now. But when its time, I'll be getting either the Koyo or the Denso aftermarket one. I hear few others got the Koyo and its a perfect fit.

Let us know how your Koyo replacement works out for you.

thanks.

That is where my leak is - the pink crusty stuff has accumulated on the bottom corner edge.

That being said, I think the Koyo radiater I ordered in the wrong one. The radiator that I want is the Koyorad which is made by Koyo in Jamap and comes with a Lifetime warranty. The Koyo model I ordered I suspect is made in China or India and if that turns out to be case back it will go.

The radiator came today. Box says "Koyorad" part # A2690 same part number listed on Koyorad's website here...http://www.koyorad.com/search.asp

Box also says "Made in Indonesia" Hmmm...

Well,,, I unboxed the radiator and the sticker on the radiator also says "Koyorad." It appears to be a high quality unit - as far as I can tell. All of the fins are perfect and it was well packaged. In which case I am going to keep it and have it installed. Will resport back after the install.

There cannot be mental atrophy in any person who continues to observe, to remember what he observes, and to seek answers for his unceasing hows and whys about things.
yeah i had to do the same thing just yesterday.

I had the Koyorad radiator installed today and fitment was perfect. I reflilled with Toyota Super Long Life 50/50 mix pink fluid. This radiator is a GREAT alternative to the $800 OEM radiator.
