Review on πŸš— TOYOTA 4Runner 1-Row Plastic Aluminum Replacement Radiator | TYC 1998 Compatible by Timothy Bobbert

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Didn't want to come.

I originally ordered a Denso radiator for my '98 Toyota 4runner but on delivery I found the overflow pipe was broken so I had to send it back - Revain made it very easy. Unfortunately, Revain did not stock this radiator so I was unable to get the exact model returned. I was disappointed because the Denso was OEM and was only $140. Needless to say I read that Koyo blocks were very good aftermarket radiators and they are sold by Revain which is TYC registered so I went with this block. As far as I can tell, this isn't a Koyo block. The radiator itself looked like a quality unit. I had a fit issue - neither the fan shroud nor the heatsink support holes matched. What should have been a quick hour-long exchange took three hours. I wanted to reuse Toyota radiator brackets but they had broken fan shroud nuts so I couldn't. I was able to install the device and the case on it just took a little convincing. If you can find a Denso unit I recommend spending the extra money.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Poor
