Denso 221 3232 Radiator Review

Perfect fit for my 2005 Pilot. I used it to replace a 190,000 mile factory radiator. After reading about power line fittings failing due to corrosion, I decided to do this as preventative maintenance. I also noticed that the design of the transmission line connectors on this cooler is an improvement over the original factory unit.

horrible product - I just paid my mechanic to install this radiator - after installation - the new radiator was leaking the transmission line and now have to I buy another cooler and pay to reinstall it. I RETURNED THE PRODUCT - AND AMAZON OR SELLER NEVER HAD ANY INCONVENIENCE CAUSED TO ME BY THIS UNDERVALUE PRODUCT - DO NOT SELL WITH THIS SELLER OR ANY PRODUCTS

Perfect replacement for my factory cooler. It doesn't come with a new cap so I reused mine. The problem with the original was the connection of the transmission cooler. With this new heatsink they have updated the design and shouldn't fail like the original key. Direct fit, everything fits perfectly. This is expected as Denso is an OEM supplier.

2006 Acura MDX, I have a hose that is coming off my thermostat housing. I've heard of problems with the transmission and coolant mysteriously mixing with the radiator. I decided to switch to new hoses and the old Denso factory radiator. Pretty good fit, the only big difference is the clips for the screw holes (no problem). For about 2 weeks and no problems. I strongly recommend using NEW Honda Constant Tension Clamps.

04' Honda Pilot- On arrival I checked the part for damage and checked the part number to make sure it was correct. I noticed that the metal section of the heatsink was warped and was hoping it would fit, I should have gone with my gut. The warping caused all of the fans to be misaligned, as well as the mounting brackets. Cheap Chinese parts. Now I'm waiting for a replacement to see if this one fits.

I ordered this for my 2001 Acura MDX after trying to buy an Acura part online. The first and second radiators at the dealer were crushed or bent. This cooler was much better packaged (double boxed) and looked pristine although the foam supports were loose and scattered in the inner box. The price gets 5 stars, was significantly cheaper than the Acura part. Unfortunately, there are also minuses. Instead of a flare nut to attach the fans, this part uses clamp-on U-nuts. After I put the heatsink…

I don't usually write reviews but because it was so bad I felt it necessary. This is the second in a week - the first I thought I made a mistake installing and corrupted. So I ordered and paid for another one. First, the bottom fan screws were unthreaded, so I bought some longer 1/4" screws. The cooler. The ground is solid. When I attached the bottom I drilled a hole in the radiator. I thought it was all mine, so I ordered and paid for a second one and did a dyno test, when the second came you…
