Thanks for the diagram. That makes sense. I thought the suggestion was that the little jiggly thing was in the thermostat backward (wrong orientation) which seemed super unlikely. There's exactly a 1 in 6 chance that I put that in the correct way because I paid no attention at all. I'll check...

I didn't check the jiggle valve orientation before I put it in. I didn't know those could/would be wrong from the factory. I'll check it. Radiator cap got replaced with the radiator about a year ago. I'll check for bubbles at idle tomorrow when its totally cooled off. Thanks for the suggestions!

I was hoping that was the issue... The heater was blowing cold so I took it for a drive to burp it and that was when the temp climbed the first time. I idled it on a steep incline in my driveway and the heater is blowing hot now but its still heating up when I get out on the road. The reservoir...

Hi all. My '01 LC (281k) is overheating after the heater tee blew. Temp never got into the red that I saw. I replaced the tee and filled the coolant system. At idle, no overheating problems but I am getting misfire codes on cylinders 2,4&6. When I drive, the temp climbs quickly a few minutes in...

Thank you so much @Ayune and @gatormark91. I do much better when I have a step by step list. This is perfect.

My dad and brother put a new steering rack and tie rod ends in my '01 LC for me while they were in town. They had to leave before the install was complete and I managed to mess it up with the little I contributed to the project. I took it for alignment and they had to run it all the way to the...

Old and used but it is all there. To be sold for the price of one cheeseburger of the buyer's choice upon pickup in Boulder City, NV (right outside Vegas). No shipping available.

So I sold the LX for $3000 to a guy from Portland with a trailer. Hopefully he can figure things out and get a good deal out of it. We rented an Expedition from Enterprise and ratchet strapped the rack and tent to the roof (a little sketchy) and drove 14 hours back home. The search is on for a...

Thanks for the well wishes. I would have found a way to make the new truck thing happen before ruining a road trip if that was the goal. Haha.

It won't even crank. There was a burnt rubber smell when I pulled over and popped the hood. Toyota tech says there's a short in the junction box that keeps blowing a fuse

I'm in Bend, Oregon with my wife and 3 kids. My '99 LX quit running. Toyota says it needs a fuse junction box, starter and battery. $2200 total to get it going again. I'm thinking of buying a new truck here to drive home. Anybody want to swoop in and pick up this LX for $3500? 197k mi. AHC...

I have a '92 Briarwood for sale. It is clean and runs/drives well. A/C works and so does everything else on this vehicle. I am the second owner. I used it as a daily driver until a few months ago when I got an FZJ80. Everything is stock except the radio and bad tint job. Non smoker/no pets. It...
