Which in your opinion is the best aluminum radiator for the 2003 Tacoma? I am getting mixed information on this topic and I want to make an educated decision on the best way to get this done. I am guessing maybe going the electric fan route as well, and maybe move or not use a tranny cooler in the radiator, maybe I can use a separate cooling just for the tranny part? What do you guys suggest? Maybe a Tundra Aluminum Radiator, any information would be kindly appreciated.
Thank You
