    What is this part leaking coolant called?

    I used the Asian brand grey fipg per the service manual. Allowed it to set up before final torque according to the directions. 5000 miles later it is holding pressure just fine. The nearby o-ring is a unique size, part number Mahle #C31699. If you haven't already replaced your radiator that will...

    What is this part leaking coolant called?

    The o-ring used in the water neck bypass is a unique size and it can leak intermittently. It then drips down into the valley and runs to the back of the engine block. The surrounding female fitting for the o-ring should be carefully cleaned (no scratches) to allow for heat movement as the metal...

    Prado 120 sub tank in a GX470 - has anyone done it? Well I’m gonna try!

    Was joking about looking at the muffler... I meant the large muffler across from the main fuel tank. If we could relocate that one then just add another stock tank. Might be a bit loud though! So what if we were to get a group buy together and fill a small shipping container with Prado 120 Sub...

    Have not tried this on the GX470 display but ran into the same problem with our GE wall oven VFD. The display segments were dim. Replaced a B+ side capacitor which increased the supply voltage. Helped a little bit. Link: GE Wall Oven, Dim display capacitor repair - Badcaps Forums -...

    Prado 120 sub tank in a GX470 - has anyone done it? Well I’m gonna try!

    A lot of us would appreciate greater range with a second fuel tank. Looked at some used Prado 120 sub tanks available on Ebay.au a while back. All were in Australia for $250-$300. Shipping cost killed for me plus all the tubes and electrical support items needed. Not sure how it is filled, is...

    A dab of white or clear silicone seal does a good job of diffusing too.
