Replacing my radiator.

Hey guys, got into an accident and had my radiator fixed. It works fine but I want to get a spare just in case. I’m getting both these part numbers but I can’t figure out which one to get. Do either one work, or just one?

Also where’s the best place to order from?

Thank you.

16410-0p290
16410-0p300

 

Help please ?

 

According to ToyotaPartsDirect.ca, P290 is for automatic transmission. P300 is for manual. P290 should work in manual trucks too, just with the ATF cooler fittings not connected to any hoses.

 

thanks !!!!!

 

Just a note: Sometimes a repaired radiator will run at a reduced capacity, depending on how it was repaired. If they soldered the leaks shut, those channels may be blocked. It might work just fine in cooler weather, but you might see issues in hot weather.

 

this side piece cracked and he replaced it from another used Tacoma radiator.

is it worth getting a new radiator ?

 

If you stay within a 5 mile radius of your house and never leave that I wouldn’t change it out, but if you actually use your truck I would definitely replace it, then save the repaired one as a backup

 

yeah I guess better to be safe than sorry.

 

Personally I think it would always be on my mind if I didn’t replace

 

Ah, ok, different kind of repair. As others have said, I would be concerned about the longevity of the repair and would replace it, keep as a spare.

 

Two is one, and one is none.
Buy three.
