buy new- should be less than $100. you take your chances with anything used (prob 25 plus years old)
if it aint there, there's a good chance it won't break!
83 SR5 Silver/Blue (Snowmobile/work beater)-totaled but drivable
85 SR5 Blue
88 SR5 White (the 'good' one)-not anymore-totaled
87 fwd silver wagon a/t
87 4wd dx Cream (a/t- not anymore- now m/t)

our radiators cannot be repaired..period.

get a new one...not junkyard one.

AutoZone has them with lifetime warranty...I bought ONE in 1990 and AZ had to replace three more since then---I never had to pay for another one.
