Changed out all hoses about 5 years ago and I'd be surprised any of those are already leaking. But, I will check. thanks

Hello everyone, So my 60's been running greatish for years now thanks to y'all and now I need y'all advice again. 2 days ago I started her up as I always do, pull choke out all the way, pump gas and turn the key. Usually after about 3-5 secs she starts up. All normal. I lower the choke the...

Just got back home... Will be flushing the block tomorrow after I free up from work. I'll look into the tefba filters. Anyone have a reliable source. Only seen it on eBay thus far. Will check out amazon as well Thanks for the advice and the help. I'll flush here tomorrow and let y'all know what...

I heard of that egg trick, but always thought it was someone's idea of a joke. I can promise you that over the last 12 years no egg from any animal has been near the radiator. Also I changed out the waterpump ~8-10 yrs ago and recorded the rad and didn't see anything like this or at least I...

Ok will have to find the block drain, but I'll get it flushed. What is this Coolant Filter you speak of? I found a couple of images, but where do I find one for my fj60? Aside from jamming a hose in, Any other advice on cleaning out the block? Oh and what is the the best place/method to...

Wheelingnoob, Please explain the back flushing process. Is it just putting my hose in the lower rad hose? Sorry for my ignorance Patick

I honestly i haven;t messed with it since i took the pump off a week ago and then had to leave the state for work. Prestone Green stuff with Distilled for the last 5-6 yrs... Didn't know any better. The Rad shop just said there were flakes of yellow stuff in the radiator??? Didn't really...

Dorcom, Excessive corrosion? What do you mean, corrosion where and what can I do about it? Could easily be hard water, will use distilled when I put her back together Never used radiator sealants and I've had her for 12yrs Thanks again for the help Patrick

FINALLY Got it this sometime!!! What the Hell is this???? Ok Ladies and Gentleman, I sincerely apologize for taking so long.. Life and work have given me severly limited time. So i finally was able to pull the water pump and I found this yellow gunt inside the pump!!!!! see the pictures...

Just a thought, but make absolutely sure you have a great connection at the terminals. When I had electrical problems, I ran checked every part and component... Put new battery terminals on and charging/starting problems stopped. Might not be your problem..but cleaning the battery posts and...

No flow with thermostat out. That was the first thing, i did when I did not feel pressure/flow in the upper hose. I get the bit about sufficient flow.... I'll have to make sure the thing is heating the air. The problem is it's 100 degrees in the shade here in Arizona. I can not recall if the...

Thanks for the posts guys. Cruiser Drew and ELbert, 1. About the waterpump: I was also thought that water pumps leaked when they fail. That is why I initially thought I had an issue with my radiator, since my water pump was dry. But, I am getting no flow through the upper radiator hose when the...

Does that indicate waterpump failure or something more serious? Patrick

Thanks all for the interest and advice!!! So: 1. Temp gauge is working, thanks for the camp stove idea!! 2. There is flow through entire cooling system: I went to flush the rad and when I opened up the rad drain spigot I only got maybe a quart of fluid??? So then, I took off the upper rad...

EVERYONE!!!! THANKS!!! MUD IS THE S*%T MtMoMo, thanks for your continued support and interest... I burped the system... or at least tried to.. no/inadequte flow through the upper rad hose. Then, with monday quickly approaching I had to get my motorcycle back together.. (71 cb500 that...

Do all of you guys think that fluid is flowing? Spike, I totally get that without the tstat the car will take some time to warm up, but shouldnt the radiator get a little warm? the tstat housing was super hot after running the truck for 15 min. I'm just hurtin for cash (like most everyone I...

This is why i think i have a flow problem instead of a temp gauge problem: I took out the thermostat and let her run in the arizona heat for 15 min. The temp gauge approached the red and I shut her off. Then went to the engine bay and put my hand on the radiator. Not hot at all. If coolant was...

Hmmm clog in rad... If I open the rad drain and open the radiator cap. If there is a block either fluid will not drain from bottom or fluid will drain from bottom, but coolant in radiator neck will stay full. If it drains from rad drain and fluid leaves the nexk of the radiator: does this mean...
