Review on 🔥 Denso 221-0517 Radiator: Optimum Cooling Performance for Your Vehicle by Marc Burke

Installed on a 2002 Toyota Tundra 4.7 V8. These coolers use plastic tanks that can crack and after 15 years I decided to replace them before taking a truck on a long trip two months later. The radiator came in a thick box and was in good condition despite a small cut on the box. It was devoid of some foam inserts so it didn't fully stabilize in the box. However, the only problem I found was that (as others have noted) some of the push-in nuts on the two side brackets were loose in the box. The heatsink itself was fine and looks almost identical to the original (but much cleaner). I chose to reuse the original side brackets as the nuts are permanently attached. The holes didn't quite line up, so I used metal snips to remove 1/4 inch of metal between the hole and the end of the bracket. I also replaced the top and bottom hoses, thermostat and gasket, and the serpentine belt - very easy access to the belt when the radiator is off. I was priced at $600 for all of this, I paid less than $200 for all the parts and coolant. Took me about 4 hours including coolant flushing, cleaning etc.
