I installed a Toyota thermostat today and did a thorough coolant flush using e9999's write up (very complete) but without all the gadgets and the problem is gone. The LX warmed up quickly as it should and maintained the temp going up and down the mountain. Thank you all for the input and advice!

Hello everyone... I have a 97 LX with 136k that I bought about a year ago. I'm new to the site but not to toyotas. My LX is basically under heating. It takes 20-30 minutes city driving for it to get to normal operating temps (middle of the gauge). In highway driving it won't even get that...

Another vote here for the cummins. Widely available and you could get a low mileage one for a good price. As far as the noise, who cares? Is it that big of a deal?

New to the forum here. Just got a new to me 97 lx with shot tires. I was seriously considering the rugged terrains but ended up getting the Falken Rocky Mountains 285/75/16. So far I'm very happy with them. They look great and handle great so far. Sorry to hijack
