As some may know, purchased '89TII new and a few weeks ago the upper radiator tank let go, so replacement needed.
After some research and information gathered, decide to go with the Koyo HH06043 N series. Radiator delivered, installed,
and when trying to fit the fan shroud, noticed that the inlet tube was 3/4" to the left when compared to the original rad, so
shroud wouldn't fit correctly. I then thought to test fit the factory air intake tube and the unit actually covered the water inlet.

Called Koyo and although the website states original fitment, no modifications needed, after some discussion they finally
stated that the N series will only fit with modifications. Shroud needs to be trimmed and factory air intake can't be used.
I then contacted the supplier to return the unit and get the non N radiator. They in turn contacted Koyo and can't believe
what they have requested of me.

The radiator is like new, no marks, bent fins etc, but Koyo wants me to take 2 pictures of the unit then destroy the radiator.
This is nuts, but when I send them pictures of the destroyed radiator, they'll send me the correct unit.

I find it ridiculous to destroy the radiator, but if that's the only way I'm going to receive a new unit, guess I'll need to comply.

 

find another rad
destroy it
send your pics
sell new rad
profit

 

^what this guy said, buy a **** Koyo, **** it up, keep and sell urs, then get a new one LOL if people are gonna be dumb enough to basically give you money, then **** em

 

Destroy it in the most imaginitve and spectacular fashion possible and post vid here.

 

Yes, if I could find one, that's what I could do!

 

well, in many cases it costs more to ship something than it costs to manufacture a new one.

while a koyo may wind up costing a consumer about $350, they make them for about $15.

but trust your gut, since it isn't koyo that you are directly dealing with and you could very easily get screwed.

 

I work at the local Dodge Dealer here in town and we're told all the time to "Scrap/destroy at Dealer", and the reasoning is so that dumpster divers cant get their hands on it and use a "Faulty" part. Basically they dont want their crap parts in the public hands because they have a reputation to protect lol.

 

Well, after speaking with Koyo yesterday, they had a change of mind as UPS is picking up the rad tomorrow and the correct model will be shipped out.

 

Aw, too bad. Scrap/Destroy and the Forth of July go hand in hand.

Just sayin'!

 

I bet ya they give you the 44N model!

 

I entered the incorrect number in original post as it should be HH060643N and they are to send the HH060643 unit.

 

That is one way to dig a hole lol

 

Fab time or make them honor the sale and refund the money. if it is not applicable part, however it was sold as one, it is their job to fix this problem.

Destroying it is risky, I have had to do this with a spoiler that was not fitting right. They may do a follow up before the refund as they did with my spoiler. I used eBay for the kit though and it was hell, you seem to be working direct with Koyo and that might make it easier.

There are however many pictures of dead koyos that can be used... I might have one lol
