^^^Thanks. Is that what they list or is that after the discount, and how do you get the discount?

As far as the OEM radiator goes, yeah, I don't think I would get one even if it was the same price as the Koyorad now that I know how many people have had problems with them.

Thats with their discount. List was $7xx. To get a discount just sign up for a free account with them and enter your CL member name and whenever you ad something to your cart youll get the discount.

How many miles does your GX have?

Im the 2nd owner of my GX and the previous had every Lexus service record and the radiator had never been replaced. I now have 110K miles and no leaks what so ever. KNOCK ON WOOD!!

95k

Maybe you will get lucky, it seems to be a common, but not guaranteed problem. Just keep an eye on it, at the bottom near the corners.

Mine has 74k miles.

Keep an eye out at the bottom left and or right corners for the pink crusty stuff. I would have never noticed the small amount of residue had I not been doing something else under the front of my truck. The last two mechanics to work on my truck didn't even notice. The leaks are very small, so small that the fluid dries before it has a chance to drip.
