ok, got the home network going again, so posting pics of the shroud, radiator and clutch. Maybe showing my ignorance here, but can air get "stuck" in the cooling system? I can see a lack of heat transfer causing issues in general, but how would some stuck air in the system cause the...

Semlin, All, I will take pics tomorrow and get them up there. I will dbl-check the t-stat. I have done the "check the water flow" thing and i can see that it is flowing, but its not as obvious as my old 350 in my nova did. also, maybe im confused ont he bubble check thing. I will...

HAHA, i had someone want to talk at my desk mid reply, so i wanted to make sure i saved it and didnt time out. I was getting to it :D

Semlin - The coolant looks greenish. I requested the complete flush job when the Radiator was replaced. I will have to talk to my buddy who i bought the truck from whether he used the red stuff before. The Coolant level is just below the filler, prob 1/2 in. And the radiator cap...

Ends up the brand new toyota fan clutch does have a blue painted base. For some reason i was thinking something crazy like a blue anodized hub in the center of the main part of the fan clutch. I couldnt for the life of me figure out why someone would do that. Guess thats what i get for being...

Radiator and condensor are clean. As far as measuring the heat, the mechanic i took it to measured it with one of those laser baser heat measuring devices. He said when i was in the red, i was measuring 217 on the front of the block and 233 on the back. I have not checked the sensor, but if...

Interesting conversation that may just apply to my current problem. I have 223k miles on my truck and dont recall it ever being replaced. When you mention the "aux cooler" is this the tran cooler in front of the condenser? At work now so cant look at the service manual, and this is an...

I am suffereing from a heating problem that just about has my wife demanding the sale of my truck. A rundown of the heating fix attempts is as follows: Truck overheated about 3 years ago and blew a head gasket. Had the head surfaced, gasket replaced and remounted. Still had heating issues...

help!! Sorry, I will repost. I thought i might have found something here and then proceeded to ramble. :( -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ok, i read all 7 pages of this post and understood some of it...

All, This is gonna sound trivial, but hate to spend 110$ unnecessarily. I have a 1993 80, and on my Driver side window, the little wheels or bushings that press on to the window regulator and ride in the "window lifter track" (no clue what its called) have died (cracked and broken off) and...

Newbie here. I have a 93 with locking diff. I hear mention of different transmissions etc. Is there a good source for info on what i actually have in my truck, so that I can claim its the best? Always got to argue from a position of strength (or at least information) (sorry about the psuedo...

hehe, Just for clarification, I bought the truck from a friend and i thought all cruisers had the lockers. Its interesting to know its a valued addition (if sad fo rthe rest:)) I actually found answers to alot of my other answers but couldnt find answers to the wheel issue. It was a condition...

ok, and sig changed ......now.

making the change to the sig now :) Yea, i have this dial a little below and to the left of the steering wheel that lock the front and rear Diff i believe

Hiya, New to the board (let the harassment begin) and did a search for corrode and wheels and found nothing. I just purchased a 93 LC and he had it near the coast. The wheels are getting this surface corrosion. I am toying with the idea of getting them blasted and powdercoated. Is there any...
