    I used the search and found some threads but nothing specifically answering my question.

    I need to replace my radiator in my '04, v6, auto trans, prerunner, 2wd. Looking through RA I come across a couple, but the ones I'm looking at are:

    TYC 1755 (core dimensions are correct) - Lifetime warranty

    Denso 2213138 (core height/width dimensions are wrong, however, if you switch them around they're correct, so I'm not sure if it was a typo?) - 12mo warranty

    Can anyone confirm which one fits or which one is better?
    Is there another brand I should look into?

    Thanks in advance for any help!

    I purchased a car quest premium radiator from advance auto parts. I've had it on the truck since June 2021 and I've had zero issues with it. Lifetime warranty, so if it goes bad I can get a replacement at my local parts store.

    I always go Denso when possible. You probably won't need to tweak anything to make it fit. Frankly the 'best' options for radiators on these is a bit limited at this point. No decent all aluminum ones and not much available that is close to OE.
