    Recurring Brake Issue

    Good points on all. I just ordered new rear pads and rotors from Cool Springs Toyota and am ordering the hardware from RockAuto today. I’ll swap those and see how it goes. If issue persists Ill look at front suspension and bearing components. With 153K, I’m ok with replacing parts and it’s...

    Recurring Brake Issue

    Good point on the thermal temperature gauge. I have an infrared one and will take it along with me next time I trouble shoot. We’ll see if the temps are similar in both sides. If not, it must be hub/bearing related or suspension. With 153K miles, things are beginning to wear out. Steve

    Recurring Brake Issue

    Hi all, I've done some searching on here and can't seem to narrow down the issue. I have a 2011 200 series with 153K miles on it. I've always maintained my vehicles throughout the years. When we bought the rig it had 96K miles and the dealership (Honda) that we purchased it from used non-OEM...

    Kind of "Mystery" Coolant leak back of engine (heat exchanger valley leak)

    Yeupers. Mine had so much crust there that I had to use a pick and wet vac to clean it all up. What a mess. Don’t understand why Toyota didn’t use a gasket here. If it happens again, I may just pay to have it fixed lol. Steve

    Kind of "Mystery" Coolant leak back of engine (heat exchanger valley leak)

    I started this project and it is an exercise in patience, not due technical reasons but more due to just being a difficult place to work. I have it apart now and will finish up bolting it back together tomorrow. Definitely not an easy project. Just not a lot of room to work abs the Toyota...

    Kind of "Mystery" Coolant leak back of engine (heat exchanger valley leak)

    Well, mine has been leaking for about a year...slowly (150K miles). It's now dripping and leaving a small puddle of 3-5 drops. Time to fix it. I had already purchased a new radiator, w/p, thermostat and supporting hoses/gaskets as well as serpentine belt, tensioner and idler. Going to order the...

    Do you hear gear whine? - Edit: Now Wheel Bearings?

    It depends on how the vehicle is used. If you are replacing the brakes, you are pretty much going to have everything apart that needs to come apart. The cool thing is the wheel bearings bolt into the spindle so it's not like the old days where you had to use a press. Also, it's a sealed unit...

    Do you hear gear whine? - Edit: Now Wheel Bearings?

    That is BS that they didn't figure it out the first time. If you replace tires and still hear the noise then it is always a wheel bearing. One way to test next time is to take it to a large parking lot, get it up to speed, and then do some figure 8s. You'll hear the whine more turning one way...

    Radiator Replacement

    Yes, I have a Fluidyne in my Supra that is 15 years old and still going strong. I was hopefully for something similar for the Cruiser. Steve

    Any word on upgraded radiators that aren't plastic for our cruisers? Steve

    Oil consumption, 1 quart every 1,000 miles

    Clean the vacuum hose for the PCV as well and make sure it isn't "coaked up". This can happen. I do wish the previous owner would have changed the oil more often. Steve

    Oil consumption, 1 quart every 1,000 miles

    You should really change your oil more often. The 0w/20 oil is already very thin to start with and once it gets diluted with fuel/exhaust that gets past the rings, the viscosity decreases. I'd buy a high quality synthetic (Amsoil, Castrol, etc) and change it every 5000 miles. Steve K.
