    My 2005 SR5 DC 2wd v8 developed a pin hole type leak in the upper tank. I decided at 17 years old and 126,000 miles to replace it with a Denso OEM radiator, Gates hoses, and as a plus a Gates serpentine belt. Pretty easy. 5 clamps, 10 bolts , coolant drained and filled with red, $320 on Amazon and 2 hours later, done. Never found a torque spec for the four fan shroud bolts or four radiator mounting bolts. I’d rather know and tighten appropriately. Anyone?

    Snug. Works for most non-critical torque applications
