    200 Series Pricing and thinking of selling my 2015

    Ironically, I just sold my 100 and started looking for a 15. I’m finding prices from 32-55. Mileage is the determination it seems. Also location. What are you trying to get out of it and where are you located?

    Aluminum Radiators

    So, no. I thought the same. Don’t recall the manufacturer but it’s not and never was denso. Then I researched denso and they,like everyone else, build varying levels of product. Their aftermarket line in not even close to the same. My denso leaked after 8 months from EVERY side. Junk.

    Aluminum Radiators

    Installed my factory radiator today. Factory hoses, and factory tensioner as well. Couldn’t be happier that I spent the money this time. The denso was crap. Leaked almost immediately. Same with the aftermarket hoses. They never fitted tight enough. Hard to get the new ones on! 100 deg today...

    Aluminum Radiators

    Found this regarding denso and their aftermarket radiators. Gonna buy from the dealer, don’t care to replace every 2 years. https://www.repairerdrivennews.com/2019/08/05/denso-oem-aftermarket-parts-from-same-manufacturer-not-identical/

    I like the voltmeter idea. Thank you.

    Volt gauge quit on me. Anyone else?

    I think it was coincidence that they occurred at the same time. Checked power to the socket and all fuses and found all ok. I’ll look through and see if I can find anything. To your point, not the most important gauge.

    2UZ-FE Normal Operating Temperature

    The condenser was a theory at first. I work in service at a dealership so I was bouncing it off of everyone. Replaced EVERYTHING coolant related. Nothing worked. Adding the Aux fan kit slowed the temp from rising but still rose. my foreman thought maybe the condenser was causing it because it...

    Can’t tell what kind of answer that is. Sounds like you are just a dick.

    Any idea where the posts are for inoperative cluster volt gauge?

    2UZ-FE Normal Operating Temperature

    I chased a similar problem for years. Check to see if it holds pressure. The smallest leak will cause that. I added Phil’s aux fan kit to my 05. Yours might have one already. Didn’t fix it. Finally changed the condenser due to a leak and it seems to be fixed. I’m in AZ. The theory is that the...

    Volt gauge quit on me. Anyone else?

    Out hunting this weekend and had a cheap charger in the cig socket. Got a bunch of relay clicking from under the drivers left hand dash. Could smell elec burning. Assume it was the charger. Now the volt meter is dead. Scan gauge gives me voltage still. Thoughts?

    160 degree thermostat for cooling issues?????

    I agree that it’s an airflow problem. To an extent. It is getting airflow. Holds paper to the radiator at idle. My theory is that the engine runs hotter than normal therefore the factory rate of airflow will not cool it at idle. The old fan clutch operated the same as the new one. That was the...

    160 degree thermostat for cooling issues?????

    I’ve replaced the following: Radiator Fan clutch T stat Water pump Coolant Plastic tees Added the aux fan Nothing made it better. Only part that was aftermarket was the radiator. Didn’t matter anyways... If I increase the idle, it cools. Driving it is fine. Off roading or at idle it will get...
