This Jayrad JR2814J radiator steps in where the factory unit on a VDJ76 VDJ78 or VDJ79 Series Land Cruiser with a 4.5L V8 turbo diesel has had enough. The core stands at 560 mm tall and 525 mm wide so it fills the factory shroud properly on these wagons and utes. A 70 mm thick four row core helps when the ute sits on boost for long highway pulls or slow first gear climbs.

The neck sizes sit at 38 mm inlet and 42 mm outlet so your existing hoses line straight up without hunting odd reducers. An internal transmission cooler section is built into the tank for auto models which keeps the plumbing tidy and cuts down extra joins. The C slash B configuration matches the original style layout so mounting points stay where you expect. For the price this is a smart buy for touring and work setups.

Q: Does this radiator fit all 4.5L V8 turbo diesel 70 Series Land Cruisers?

It suits VDJ76, VDJ78 and VDJ79 models with the 4.5L V8 turbo diesel. The dimensions and C/B configuration are matched to this engine family in the 70 Series. If your compliance plate lists VDJ76, VDJ78 or VDJ79 and 4.5L diesel you are in the right spot. Always compare hose positions and mounting tabs with your existing radiator before install.

Q: Does this radiator include an internal transmission cooler?

Yes, this radiator includes an internal transmission cooler. The cooler section is built into one of the tanks and accepts standard auto transmission cooler lines. This keeps the plumbing compact at the front of the vehicle. Many owners still add an auxiliary cooler if they tow heavy or work the ute hard, but the built-in unit covers normal use.

Q: Can I install this at home with basic tools?

It is possible but a workshop install is recommended. The job involves draining coolant, disconnecting transmission cooler lines on autos and removing fan shrouds and hoses. Any air left in the cooling system or gearbox oil lines can cause problems later. A mechanic can pressure-test the system after fitment which is hard to do at home.

Q: Do I need new hoses when fitting this radiator?

Not always, but many owners replace hoses at the same time. The inlet neck is 38 mm and the outlet neck is 42 mm so standard-size hoses fit correctly. Old hoses can go soft or crack after years of heat cycles. Swapping in fresh hoses and clamps during the radiator change can save another teardown later.
