22r cooling system(radiator) suggestions? - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

I need to get a new radiator and I was just curious if any of the vendors (I'm not sure which ones) have better than OEM replacements as far as radiators go, and maybe there is a common swap from a different engine/car/truck that the yota guys like to use instead of the original 22r radiator?
Any suggestions would be awesome, thanks.

Is you truck an auto or 5-speed? If it's a 5 speed then you can use the auto radiator, they are a little bigger. I think they are a direct replacment but you will have to ask around.

Not completely sure on this... But I think the radiator from a 22rte should have more cooling capacity than the usual 22R rad....

Yeah it's a 5 speed, and when I priced a radiator yesterday at Napa he did ask if it was 5 speed or auto. I'll look into the auto radiator and the RTE radiator though for sure.

I ordered a double core radiator from radiatorbarn.com and recieved it in two days, it cost me $118.00 total. Make sure you order the radiator for a 1986 year toyota, it bolts right in.
