The CSF Lexus GX470 / 4th Gen Toyota 4Runner V8 Heavy-Duty All-Aluminum Radiator represents a significant advancement in cooling system technology for these iconic SUVs. Renowned for the reliability of the 2UZ-FE V8 engine, which also powers the Land Cruiser, Tundra, and Sequoia, these vehicles demand a cooling solution that matches the engine’s durability and performance. While the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) radiator performs adequately under standard conditions, it exhibits limitations, especially as these vehicles age and accumulate mileage. Recognizing this, CSF has engineered a premium replacement radiator that not only meets but exceeds OEM standards, ensuring enhanced cooling efficiency and long-term reliability.
The radiator features a robust 2-row, 42mm aluminum core that significantly increases fluid capacity and optimizes heat dissipation. This design improvement is critical for maintaining optimal engine temperatures during demanding driving conditions. CSF’s proprietary B-Tube Technology enhances heat transfer efficiency by approximately 15% compared to conventional oval welded tubes, contributing to superior thermal management. The core is further optimized with multi-louvered fins that maximize airflow, facilitating rapid heat exchange and consistent engine performance.
Constructed entirely from high-grade aluminum, the radiator’s end tanks are TIG welded to the core, delivering exceptional structural integrity and durability. This contrasts sharply with the OEM’s crimped plastic end tanks, which are prone to failure and represent a common weak point. The all-aluminum construction not only improves strength but also ensures resistance to corrosion and wear, extending the radiator’s service life.
Installation is streamlined through a true plug-and-play, drop-in fit design requiring no modifications, trimming, or cutting. This facilitates a hassle-free upgrade experience for technicians and vehicle owners alike. To further enhance installation quality, CSF includes pre-cut double-sided adhesive foam strips that seal the fan shroud against the radiator, improving airflow efficiency and cooling performance.
In addition to its core cooling capabilities, the radiator integrates a heavy-duty, high-performance 5-plate transmission oil cooler within the right side tank. This built-in cooler connects seamlessly to OEM hoses and is engineered to handle the increased thermal load associated with towing, low gear crawling, and the use of oversized tires. Oversized tires effectively reduce the gear ratio, imposing additional strain on the engine and transmission, which in turn generates excess heat. The CSF radiator’s enhanced cooling capacity addresses these challenges, ensuring reliable operation under increased mechanical stress.
