Is this the right radiator? 1990 FJ62

[SAR_Squid79]

This website says that it guarantees that this is the correct radiator for 1988 - 1990 Toyota Land Cruisers:

The above description says 'Standard Transmission'. All 88 - 90 FJ62's came with automatic transmissions...

They also came with power steering and brakes...

Also, your rad's description specifically precludes the existence of a transmission cooler...I read that as none in the radiator.

Dunno, I wouldn't buy it.

Edited to add:

I looked at 6 different internet retailers, and ALL list this part number (P13) for your truck. They ALL also state standard transmission only. Now I'm as confused as you are...

Granted, but you can mix and match transmissions without affecting primary engine radiator. I don't believe you could buy a radiator that would necessarily interfere with the transmission cooler either. How many cores?

I think he is concerned the radiator will not have the ability to cool the transmission. At least that is how I'm reading it. The FJ62 does not have any trans cooler except the radiator, unless it was added later.

Jamie, what about here... http://www.radiator.com/toyota_truck_van-landcruiser-1990-price.html

Good find! WHY COULDN'T I FIND THAT?!?!?!

That definitely looks like a safer bet!

I've always been told that it's best to go OEM on the radiator.
I of course did not and although it does not have any overheating problems I do think it runs a little warmer.

I've used Performance Radiator, and their radiator for my FJ60 was nice. Good fit, good price, seemed well made.

I notice they have a different part number for FJ62 vs FJ60 so that's a good sign it has the tranny cooler in the lower tank.

I have not priced an OEM FJ62 radiator, but it would be worth a call.

I never priced one either. I used to take my Cruiser to specific dealer for all my maintenance. My service rep at that time told me to forget the OEM radiator because it was so expensive.

I have heard that they are not cheap.

I bought my Fj62 from one of my coworkers who owned it since new and kept all the repair bills. I just looked up the bill for the radiator--$750!!!! That's just the part, but it is an OEM radiator. That was from 3 years ago. Plus, he isn't savvy about asking for a discount on parts or calling someone like Cruiserdan. Still, it gives you an idea.
