Just got a leak on my 4th radiator, a Vista Pro. Gonna have it warrantied because it only lasted 6 months. Tried to order a Mishimoto, but they are out of stock everywhere. Will eventually get one, but the Vista Pro was a disappointment if anyone is considering it.

Hi Tire Fryer, I had my hopes set on replacing my defective radiator with a Mishimoto brand but just as you have determined, the lead time is too long to wait for. I was in a crunch and chose to have my local dealership replace mind. Luckily, all of the hoses had been replaced a year ago (by the last owner who was the original owner). From all indications, records, etc. that radiator was factory. It survived 137k miles! Post repairs; I don't drive the vehicle as much as I had intended (when I purchased it due in part to my latest work regimen). However, I hope to get many miles of service out of that factory rad. I'm very hopeful that someone will respond/reply back to this thread with feedback on the Mishimoto rad for the same year 2008 or close to it. I personally like the idea of having a solid core and no plastic parts.
Best wishes and please keep us all posted on your success with this repair.
Regards,

We just received our latest shipment of 6.4L radiators at our warehouse! Back-orders will be filled in the order in which they were received, and will be shipping out tomorrow!

Hurry up and place your orders if you haven't already done so, as these will be flying off the shelves!

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,
Tyler
