RichW Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Blew the radiator on my 96 today. It developed a crack in the plastic top across from the upper hose connection. So... I go looking online for someone selling OEM radiators. No luck. Then I find some aftermarket places claim there is one radiator that fits it while others show 4 different ones and claim that 96 radiators vary depending on if the fan assembly is attached to it with bolts or clips. Anyone been-there-done-that with a 96 radiator ? btw, its stamped "422130-8301" on top. No luck searching by that number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexus6andcounting Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 The number you showed is not a toyota part number.

I wonder why Toyota would put a number other than the part number on it. Interesting. Thanks for the referral, I'll give autopartswarehouse a try !

Turned out autopartswarehouse.com had the same issue as the other online vendors. They claim there are two types of radiators for a 96 ES300, one series has "T6" stamped on top while the other is stamped "TK". Of course they only stock one and not the other so I took a gamble and ordered what they had. Notice my radiator isn't stamped "T6" or "TK" and apparently has some non-existent OEM part number on it: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
