I just asked Chat and it says it's completely normal. The pink coolant look kinda orange in the black radiator. I took some out and it was right, bright pink.

I did it. Fresh new coolant. The reservoir looks pink, this just looks orange.

My coolant was flushed and replaced a year and a half ago. Shouldn’t this be pink?

Take my money!

OK, reporting back. I downloaded OBD Fusion and purchased the advanced Toyota/Lexus pack and it reads the ATF Thermal Dedegration Estimate. Mine is maxed out at 65535. I've switched out my transmission fluid and would like to reset the counter. Does anyone know how to do that?

From what I understand, the GX460 keeps track of ATF degradation. How are you guys checking it without Techstream? I currently have this OBDII scanner: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B073XKQQQW?tag=ihco-20 I also have the Car Scanner Pro app for iOS, but I don't see ATF Thermal Degradation in it.

Yep, gonna do it. Sold

What temps do you see when hitting those long steep grades?

Is there an issue with the transmission fluid temps being too cool? Will the trans cooler cause other problems?

We all know the GX460 can have transmission issues when transmission temperatures get too hot for too long. But if I live in Southern California and don't tow, is it really worth installing one? I take annual road trips and might have the GX fully loaded during those trips, but is a trans cooler...

I just did a big road trip and would have loved to have my iPhone mounted somewhere, rather than hanging out in a cup holder. Where do you guys have yours mounted? I'm leaning toward the left side of the steering wheel, but I'm open to suggestions. Please include the make and model of the mount...

Car Care Nut is the best:

I bought the 800W charger; it should be here within a week. I might not permanently mount it, I'll probably run the line from the battery along the driver's side to somewhere in the back and simply plug it in when needed. What I want to know is what wattage to run it at so I don't blow up my...

Dude, thanks for showing me your setup! I was hoping to install it under the 2nd row or someplace really out of the way. Does it get hot at all? Wondering if I need to worry about airflow.
