That's lame about your radiator. You just got a bad one but it will probably hold up just fine. That's definitely a nice flat skidplate. I've been drooling over some skidplate concepts I want to make.

No problem Paul .. Good luck .
So I actually installed my rebuilt pump along with a 3rd 10" fan at the radiator .. hopefully that will keep the radiator from getting any worse.

The information in the links above appear to be referencing the 1UZ alternator found in the earlier LS400s, which contain a 100amp alternator, protected by a 120amp fusible link. The SC400's contain a 130amp alternator, protected by a 150amp fuse. Later LS400's may contain a 130amp alternator, and a few newer Toyota models (Highlander, Sienna, etc) contain 100 or 130amp alternators, depending on options (V6, rear A/C, etc..).
