my radiator has a slow leak in it and most of the coolant is just evaporating. i want to replace it before it starts to get very bad but the dealer wants 375 for a new one and they said that the aftermarket ones arent very good. does anybody know of any place online that has a good price on nippondenso radiators?

The dealer is trying to sell you an OEM radiator with plastic end tanks for the price of a Fluidyne Aluminum radiator. You can find all metal aftermarket ones for about $100 and they work better IMHO than the OEM units.
www.radiators.com or look for a site that has freeshipping
Try to get one for an automatic integ since its dual core (and cheaper). You’ll have to zip tie like one corner of the fan on, but not a big problem. After you got it altogether u will notice a drop in temp on ur temp gauge.
I have a Toyo radiator.
The aftermarket ones are just fine…i’ve replaced radiators in 6 tegs now…using everything from carparts.com, advance autoparts, autozone, and O’reilly. IMO the stock one is crap cause the top and bottom tanks are plastic and they crack! If you want to spend the money…get a fluidyne.
I’ve had an Autozone radiator on mine for about a year now and no problems. Temp. stays about a third of the way all the time.
Check ebay as well, there are usually some new 90-93 radiators on there. radiators.com is good too, got my last one from there via ebay (they sell on ebay as well as on their site.)
The parts bin sells metal ones for like $7 more
thanks guys, that should save me quite a few dollars!
