    I used these people.

    I got the OEM radiator, because everything I looked at was taking a chance that it would not fit. Mine lasted 220K, it was the original, Yet I wanted to be sure and not get the dreaded pink milkshake. I'll bet the PO used straight water in it at one point.
    Use this to find the correct part number.

    1800radiator. No shit, good parts. That's the parts the local toyota place uses for older cars they trade in and stuff.

    This is actually kinda common. I purchased one on eBay. Was wrong one. Learned my lesson. Never again. Had a hard time finding one for my prerunner. Just took measurements, ended up getting one from O'Reilly so I could return it easily if need be in a hurry, pulled it out at the store and measured. So far so good. Don't remember what brand. If it happens again, getting a custom built aluminum. Be crazy expensive, but will last longer than the truck.

    ^^It took me a while took, as I flushed the engine completely till I had clear water draining out of the cooling system. It takes a while to get all the red stuff out.


    As far as where to get one...I went to the local 4X4 shop. They use 1-800-radiator too.

    Well that was a year and a half ago, I was 16, needless to say no beer hahaha But I had no help, no videos, just figuring it out as I went. I replaced the belts and the radiator hoses too so that acounts for 15 of those minutes:p
