Review on πŸ”₯ Denso 221-3149 Radiator: High Performance Cooling Solution for Your Vehicle by Ken Booker

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Terrible packaging - arrived damaged

Package was badly damaged when this package arrived. It looked like he had been run over and dragged miles down the road. The package looked so bad that the courier asked me to open the package and check for damage before leaving to expedite my return. After opening it, I checked the hose fittings sticking out of the box and the lid and drain holes appeared to be in good condition. However, the main body of the heatsink had an area the size of a basketball, with the ribs set inward and flattened. I told the courier I would comb the ribs and check the pressure. If it leaked I would have to send it back for an exchange. He said he had already entered this into the system as 'possible damage' so there shouldn't be any problems with the return. The extra work required to prepare the radiator for installation delayed my repair time, but so far so good. there are no leaks. As for the pros: Went to my Tundra with no modifications. It was easy to install and so far, after a few days of driving, it's working fine. I would rate this as good value for money but you run the risk of the product being damaged and unused when it arrives. The company could do better with heavier and more robust packaging. Remember that it does not come with a new radiator cap.

Pros
  • Exact fit and original replacement
Cons
  • Infinitely sluggish
