Needing Help 2018 GX460 4.6L V8, 101.7K miles. Replaced the radiator a couple of weeks back. New radiator w/cap, hoses, thermostat w/housing, coolant. All procured from Bell Lexus, picked up in person. Finished on a Sunday, drove the truck around in the AZ 115°F heat, no issues. The day...

Appreciate the thorough response. Nothing looked oily in the coolant when I had the system bled. When it pulled the cap this morning. Overflow hose is routed in the same clips on the radiator as previous and is in good shape, not kinked. I could see how a blown trans cooler in the old...

Update: As noted, on Tuesday evening I filled the system, completely burped it. Car has been sitting since Tuesday. Went out this morning, opened the radiator cap, everything completely full. Put the skid plate and air dams back on the underside and the air dam across the top. Car started...

Yes, seemed the same.

The OEM radiator came with a new cap.

OEM radiator, picked up in person from Bell Lexus. I got the system full filled last night. Ran the truck for a while, reving it, holding it a 2krpm Oil looks clean, no white smoke. When i squeeze the upper radiator hose I can hear coolant push into the overflow. Shouldn't the cap be...

I get that. I was responding to the previous comment on if the oil looks clear. I know the oil is fresh and not dirty and what that should look like. Milky contaminated oil I would assume is easier to spot on a fresh oil change. But I've never blown a HG before so I could be wrong.

Just changes the oil 200 miles ago. It was during the oil change that I found the radiator was leaking. Prompting the swap. 5k OCI M1 and OEM filter.

I am confident they I got the hose on right. And thebclamo was still in the hose 1/8 to 1/4 of an inch from the end of the hose. Due to that access, I spent time getting the clamp right and getting the ears on the clam in the right position so future me wouldn't hate present in another 100k...

Replaced the leaking original radiator on the GX460 yesterday, 101k, 2018. Burped the system in the driveway, ran up to temp ran idle high to warm it up with the heat on full blast. Drove probably 15 miles yesterday in 115f AZ heat, no issues. No leaks, all seemed good. It is my...

Just a follow up to this. Installed a new blower motor. Haven't had the issue since. Also swapped out the cabin air filter while I was in there.

Just picked up a 2018 GX about a week ago, has 88k miles on it. My older brother was going to trade it in, he got a brand new GX. Pretty pumped about the truck so far.

Picked up the car today. Couple of times when starting the car the AC fan didn't come on. A tap under the glove box and it started working. So time to buy a blower motor lol

This is where my thought process goes. I have an old Tahoe, the blower has been intermittent as well. I smack the dash and it comes back on. But it's also the original 25 year old blower and the truck has 210k on it lol
