    My radiator just blew on my 2008 tundra and looking for a replacement. Should I go OEM or for with CSF or Mishimoto? (or any other recommended brands) Trucks got 168,400k miles. Help?

    LED headlamps/fogs; interior footlamps.
    Denso and/or OEM, I mean look how long that one lasted. My take is to use them 10 years then replace whether it Looks like it needs it or not.

    I replaced mine with an all aluminum Koyo that came with a built in leak!!!! Found out after I installed and they of course would not refund my money since I installed it. I even sent pictures showing it was clearly a manufacturing defect at two of the welds and they told me to pound salt. I replaced it with a cheap aftermarket one that works great. I wouldn't pay for an OEM as they are all made in china.

    My Denso from Rockauto has 50k miles on it and still going strong.

    The first one they shipped looked bowed, like it was clamped by a fork truck too hard. I never installed it. They shipped me a 2nd one at no charge.
