Review on ๐Ÿ”ฅ Optimized CSF 2517 Radiator by Juan Gomez

Revainrating 5 out of 5

This is what you need for your Toyota Land Cruiser.

My Land Cruiser is 22 years old and I have decided to replace the original OEM radiator as it was leaking. My shop installed a Spectra radiator and after 3 months it started leaking. My store guaranteed the cooler and I was traveling so they paid to have it replaced at another store. The Spectra had a plastic tank and was cheap. The stock heatsink was from NAPA and I was disappointed that it looked too cheap and didn't go well with the stock position. Started leaking after 1 year 1 month. Now I'm angry. So I decided to buy and install one. I wanted a cheaper name brand heatsink and paid a lot of headache for this solution. Bought Koyorad first, thin heatsink arrived damaged and no packing material (from Autoplicity). I'm glad it was actually damaged because I was very concerned about the quality of this radiator. Bought Denso after that and flimsy again. Returned. After spending several weeks replacing the radiator on my 1997 Toyota Land Cruiser, I decided to purchase this relatively more expensive CSF radiator. So damn glad I did. Arrived safely, no damage. CSF packed it up and protected the cooler with lots of styrofoam. It's meaty and appears to be very well made. Looks like a genuine Toyota OEM radiator. metal tanks. The fit was perfect and I am now very confident that this radiator is fine. This whole problem with other radiators was a good thing. That's when I finally got around to buying these and it was a good decision. I hope this saves some others the headache I had.
