    FJ60 water temp gauge spiked / heater blows cold

    Glad this was helpful Old Nick, I've got a few hundred miles on the rig since the repair and no cooling issues. If/when you are planning the new rad, the only thing I'd suggest is to do a full audit of parts/hoses to replace while in there and get them on order. It took multiple vendors to...
