    Semi-related: does the manual skid have more ground clearance?

    It's the quality, the aluminum is alot thicker,
    It works for me, it can be 100 degrees outside and the engine runs at 170-180 degrees regardless.
    I had a motor that popped a head gasket when my stock radiator run 190-210 from the heads getting warped.
    So I'm keeping my temperatures much lower with no change off any heat spikes with the replacement motor

    Man I'd just stick with OEM parts. Toyota's OEM parts go thousands of miles but the second you get aftermarket, most people seem to report issues shortly after. That's just my opinion though.

    @Clharris1995 - The issue is that they do not make the OEM Harrison any more that was well made.

    Has anyone found a solid OEM replacement?
