I got a Denso for my 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 4.7L V8 and it has been fantastic, great quality and in good shape upon delivery. Vehicle ran 5-7°F cooler than before the radiator leak that initiated the replacement
I recently replaced the radiator on my 2002 Toyota 4Runner and used a Denso replacement part. It looks identical to the original.
I'd stick with a new Denso if you want to replace yours.
i used a denso radiator on a benz gle43. Worked out pretty well. I mean they are an oem supplier for many manufacturers.
Denso and other OEM for me. When insurance wanted to throw Napa parts at my radiator replacement destroyed by a napping squirrel in the fan assy, I ponied up the difference to go with the Denso and mechanic confirmed it was a solid choice.
Aisin water pump, Mitsuboshi or Bando belts, and replace the radiator as a preventative measure with a Denso unit.
I replaced mine at 129k miles due to a small leak in the bottom of the radiator. I purchased an OEM Denso one on Amazon for 220 and it's been working great, no issues with trans temp as well.
I recently did a timing belt job on my is300 and now the car feels weird. I replaced oe denso radiator. The first startup was very rough. After some tinkering with the car by letting it idle for a while, reving it slightly, the car seems to be alright with no check engine light or any missfire codes. However I do feel like the engine vibrates just ever so slightly more than it used to. A barely noticeable difference but I feel like something is not right. The car now also has weird cold starts. The engine only revs up to a 1000rpm and then goes down from there, where it usually would rev up to 1500-1800rpm on cold starts.
This new radiator expect to fail within 1 year warranty or 1 day after warranty runs out. Original OEM was Valeo Made in Brazil, went 22 years. It cracked from pulling on upper hose to see timing mark on flywheel.
The MVP radiator and the Denso aftermarket are identical, both say Denso. The main difference between the OEM and the MVP/Denso is the OEM is 2 Core with a radiator thickness of 1.075 inches thick. The Denso is 1 Core with a radiator thickness of 0.663 inches thick. I measured the thickness using a digital caliper. Another difference is the transmission connection lines, the MVP/Denso looks like a cheaper aluminum, and the OEM is a heftier non aluminum metal. As a side note, after searching the internet and YouTube, some people have leaks at the radiator line after a couple of years with the Denso aftermarket ones. Next time I will be sticking with the OEM model, I just don’t have time to return the Denso and order another OEM one.
