^^ Disagree with that.

My OEM Toyota radiator on my ST205 with full service history was ready for replacement when the car was only about 8 years old. Always used Toyota forlife and changed regularly.

There plenty of gt4 out there still on the stock rad. A lot tend to split and carck cos people put a high pressure rad cap on
Them and they were never ment to that sort if pressure.

Most rads that failed on 90th Toyota I´ve seen didn´t leak. They failed by loosing the thin alloy fins by corrosion and caused overheating.

Most ST205 rads that failed I know are gone by bleached plastic tanks that split.
