    It should. Do you already have this radiator? If not buy the Denso from RockAuto

    Just curious, how do you know a T100 radiator will bolt right to a first gen Tundra? We've never had a member do this and it's a completely different truck.

    I do not have it yet but I can found one 4100 a lot cheaper than the tundra and they looked identical I was wondering if they both of them I don't even know if I need one I take my radiator cap off and pretty like Rusty crusty and s*** around there and the guy that had it before me took the red Toyota Corolla oil and put regular corn in which is a big No-No in these Toyota I work for Toyota 47 years and they swear that you want to run their Toyota right any fries or it will screw up your heater head and heater cores and radiators so I don't know if I should just do it rain in Flushing for the red stuff back in and see if I can get lucky or if I actually need a new radiator thank you for replying I like this form I love these 1st Gen Toyota Tundras if you. I don't know if I need a new radiator exactly I open up the cap and it's all like red Rusty crusty stuff on the table and I think that if I do a drain and fill it might be all right I'm not running hot or cold or anything like that seems to run fine but it just doesn't look very healthy I like to flush it out put the Toyota right stuff back in but if I do that I don't want to have this ready and everybody jump so I'm thinking about is a T100 radiator I found $40 free shipping and it's a Denso so I think that would be my best bet but I just didn't know if they both in the same I thought they use the same cross members in the same radiators but I'm not 100% sure I missed a few 100 I wish they didn't rust out in Maine where I live LOL any other advice would be awesome thank you very much for applying

    Thank you to the ones that lent their advice. I think I'll try a clean flush and refill with red Toyota coolant, where I'm nit having any issues besides it looks like shit around the cap. If I have money I'll just buy either a Performance aluminum or denso. Than u all again much appreciated.

    From what I've read around the aluminum "performance upgrade" radiators still aren't as good as Denso. Leaks around the welds or the corners.
