Swapping Radiator

Interested in that mishimoto too. Specs state it won't fit the double cab, so hopefully it's a bolt-in job for the access cab.

 

CSF 7030 aluminum radiators will fit double cabs.

 

CSF shows fitment for 00-06 Tundra, which would imply regular cab and access cab only - same as the Champion above. Have you installed the CSF 7030 into Double Cab?

 

Yep, I've had it for a few years now.

 

Recall @JakeJake was looking at or had experience with the Mishi aluminum but I had determined their non-aluminum was not superior to a LAPS store rad, because although core appeared to be thicker like the Denso, their lifetime warranty on it was not straightforward like Orielley where you can just walk it in and walk out with replacement.

I never pulled the trigger.
The Denso unit from RockAuto I ended up with is a nice part, and I'm sure it will be just fine for another 200k+, but its plastic and has a finite life.

A full aluminum radiator is almost infinitely repairable with a little tig welding, and are not prone to degradation and splitting like plastic tanks.

I'll go aluminum next time, if there is one.

 

Nice, have any pics of the shroud-side, or install? Any issues w install?

 

according to specs the mishimoto core is much thicker than the csf. Overall size on the two is different as well. I'd love to hear if any access cab people have used them and if they had any install issues.
