Anyone know if I would have any issues if I tried to swap an 03 Taco radiator into my 93 Toy? I'm in the process of doing the 01-04 front end & instead of making brackets to make my current radiator fit I would like to just swap to a newer radiator so it will bolt right up to the core support. Thanks for any help

WELL IF YOU HAVE THE ROOM ITS NO BIGGIE. YOU WILL NEED DIFFERENT RADIATOR HOSES THE 1993 IS 24.41 X 5.31 X 22.83 THE 2003 IS 29.53 X 5.31 X 25.98 ASSUMING THESE ARE BOTH 4 CYLINDER.

Yeah room shouldn't be a problem. I have nothing up front anyways. I figured I would need new hoses but was just concerned there may be something I was overlooking as far as the flow or inner workings. I assume they all pretty much work the same. I think the 4 cyl & 6cyl tacoma radiators are the same from 95-04. At least that is what I have come up from very little research on replacement radiators. Would there be a downside to the bigger radiator. Maybe just a few seconds longer to warm up? Extra money on more fluid etc. Thanks again
