Quality construction, installed it by myself I’m 70 years old. Could only align 3 of four bolts perfectly, man have done better with help, will try again when I have a helper. I believe the alignment issue was due to a tweak, should be flat. I used a slightly smaller longer bolt through hole large flat washer with rubber washers I think I straitened out the slight bend.

Great fitment and running fine in my 99 tacoma V6 4X4 automatic. Install was smooth. The bottom two bolts are a pain to get to, but that's Toyota's fault and not Spectra's. No issues at all after a few hundred miles.

I have a 2004 Toyota Tacoma. Base model, extended Cab, 4X4, with the 3.4 liter V6 engine. This Radiator was a perfect fit. Really happy with how well the install went. Everything lined up quite well. didn't have to modify the mounting brackets at all. Only thing I did do was put a little lock tight on the bolts holding the mounting brackets to the radiator. They were a little loose.

Very well packaged, the fins were in terrific shape when I went to install. Dropped in nicely, no problems mounting it at all.I will note this is the largest of the 1st gen Tacoma radiators ( I think there are 3, maybe even 4 different radiator sizes), went on my 2003 double cab 4x4 auto TRD, it does hang down quite a bit. I will have to see if it interferes with my off road skids when I get them painted and go to put them on. If it does I’ll sell it locally and it’ll make another Tacoma owner very happy.

When installing, the holes in the brackets did not line up. I was not able to unattach the old brackets from the old radiator(easy fix) so I removed the new radiators bracket on one side. This allowed me to cut the top plastic locking tab for the bracket off using a hacksaw. I then placed some metal washers between the top and bottom of the radiator before reattaching the bracket. This gave me the extra length needed to line up the holes properly. I did have to bend back one of the two metal holding tabs on one side of the new brackets as well. This let me still lock one side into place while bringing the radiator flush and lined up to complete the installation.

Very happy it was a one day Delivery less chance of being Damage thats why i opt for this Septrum (H: 22 5/8 L: 25 7/8 core)i had order Denso first but that arrived Damage (would had love to stick with DENSO Brand model 221-3138 same measurement as Spectrum but its bracket doesn't have the support hook but that can get in the way of install but necessary if your alone)...Tips:1) Loosen one side of the Bracket first from the radiator i chosen my right side(facing truck).2) Remove Battery and Coolant reservoir.3) mount the radiator on frame as the hook will supoort itself feed the left top bolt first just enough tread to secure it on. then feed the top right bolt on with the loose radiator bracket push the bracket only and toward the right to align with the bolt it. it would have been hard if i didnt loosen the bracket and help me play with the frame bolt holes and install the other two bolt and the rest is as follow...hope this help those fellow DIY taco owner...i give this product 5 star but time will tell as of delivery it was drop off at my neighbor house SMH.

Worked well in my Tacoma 1 year no leaks “knock on wood” and it’s held up very good even in a collision. Would highly reccomend.

I purchased Spectra Premium CU1755 as an Amazon Warehouse deal for $71 for my 2003 Tacoma doublecab V6 TRD 4WD w/auto transmission.It came in perfect condition, even the box. It fit *nearly* perfectly. I installed the top 2 bolts first (much easier if you review the grill, look for youtube videos for the two clips at the bottom edges that are hidden and strong, you just pull), the passenger side lower bolt 3rd, and the driver's side lower bolt last, all started but loose. It was a fight to get the last one to align, I had to push up and pull the radiator towards the outside of the vehicle and it still took several tries but I eventually got it. It would have been easier w/ 2 people, but I did the job alone.If you haven't changed the fan clutch in a while, I'd recommend changing it while you have the rad out. Make/model Aisin FCT-013I've been driving it a few days, and it works great. The old one was leaking at the top tank. This one is oem quality and should last me another 180K miles.

Worked just fine for my 95 Tacoma V6 the plastic fitting for the new frame doesn’t fit the old frame so you will need to replace the frame itself not just the radiator. (Unless you just grind down the fittings like I did) other then that, trucks running just fine!
