    Hi all,

    I need to replace a cracked radiator on my '04 prerunner 2.7 4 cyl.... looking on Amazon & ebay, the descriptions all say 1995-2004 tacoma but when you read the reviews and questions, people say either it didn't fit or it was not what was advertised. I tried measuring my current radiator but its difficult to get an accurate measurement.

    How do i know which one to choose?

    much appreciated,

    Take your inner radiator shroud loose to GET an accurate measurement .
    There are 3 different height radiators that are used and 3 different shrouds that fit them.Get the wrong one and you'll have problems with fit.

    There are 18 5/8, 20 3/4 and 22 5/8 inch height ones. Measured from where the fins start at bottom to top of fins ,not the whole radiator height.
