    If you pan the camera down front face the lip, you will see its a hard square edge. Thats the problem area. The new design looks like a recessed pillow.

    I really should be doing that too since it looks like ill never get around to tearing it apart.

    Easy. Get the redesigned rad for $400 and never ever have to think about it again.

    Yep, just compare to posted pic mentioned above. Your 2018 also should have the auto rear hatch button opening feature. Overall great year to be in! Bloc will make a nice clean thread on this soon with fax, pics, part numbers and technical insight.

    It begins pretty early. I believe mine was hairline stressed at around 50k at least. And it just develops from there. Not sure what contributes to early or later demise, probably temp variance if i had to guess. Your 2018 should definitely have the updated design though with the flatter...

    Well to keep things “technical” Toyota recently ripped apart a tesla for insight and called it a “work of art in design and manufacturing”. They are woefully behind in a lot of areas and are finally acknowledging it, something ive been lambasted for on the forum for bringing up before, and all...

    Honestly give me a good beater recommendation. Im still undecided and need something i will enjoy trashing in Houston traffic. Like run it through the harshest auto washes, not dodge any pothole, and leave in the baking sun dirty all the time. i4 is nice, but i need a hooptie i truly dont care...

    Sucks bro. This definitely needs to be pinned so it gets replaced early by everyone. Also, you got a pic of the new one?

    What @bloc said probably… Do you have receipt? I know some have stickers instead of paint, so they may have just not put the sticker on? Either way they forgot your top foam seal strip too… More evidence of dealer foolery.

    Yeah… and probably should do oem with new springy clamps to match. With coolant every 100k miles or so anyway, not a big deal or cost prohibitive. Like you said, seems like a 100 thing to worry about it. Im def not trying to mess with mine atm.

    I bet its more a cold climate thing with neg ambient to op temp cycles no? What is the best (metal) replacement btw? And how does one check the health without beating on them? Will do mine when coolant is drained (early at 90 in a year or so) when i do that overhaul. (And try not to put a...

    You have enough time to get to a shop. Change that sucker! Not a fun fail to experience, not worth any dilly dally at all. Ill be replacing mine with new oem at 90k in about a year along with all fluids and water pump, tensioner, idler. And all i have is hairline stress discoloration in the...

    I know some have gone aftermarket and had codes and issues, but is there anything fully aluminum or metal out there that isnt trash? If im replacing, i may just “upgrade” if that sort of thing exists. Otherwise who has the best JB weld recipe to share ? Lol

    The new one is what $300-400? I would personally feel better with the peace of mind. The problem with patching is you lose visual monitoring.
