That dealer brings them over from BC every so often.
That is where I traded my LJ78 in just this last June.
I am now Land Cruiserless..BUT I do have an Old Jeep:grinpimp:
to get me around did the 1990 have around 89000k on it?
It had to happen sooner or later.
NO not a blown head or gasket.
My babe has been traded in.:crybaby:
I will no longer be the proud owner of a 1990 Toyota Prado.:crybaby:
It has been a blast here over the last few years.:)
I've learned a heck of a lot about the vehicle, more than any other I...
I had mine fixed shortly after I bought my truck. a few years ago.
Same kind of weapy leaking.
I had mine recored. While they were at it I asked them to add another row of core over and above what the original rad had..
Which they did.
Rad has been solid ever since the recore.
Hope that...
The sensor is on the block above and sorta behind the starter.
It is not the one on the thermostate housing.
That would have been an easy fix.
I have already fixed my problem ages ago,, check the posts.:hhmm:
Yes Rummat81..
Thanks so much I have it already printed out.. err ah... long ago..
Tells the pin outs.
I finally just used that pin out to locate wires in the harnes.
I'm still using this set up -- It reminds me of a choke from the old days..

Great job ... Pradocruzer
Shows what can be done to our Prados..
Lift wise..
I also like the info on comparison of spring heights.
My Prado is starting the famous lean.. to the right.. :)
Will have to fix that soon too I guess.
Closing 90,000Kms too almost time for belts etc..

Well..
I just ordered a new one..
So all will be good when it gets here..
Thanks for sharing your fix pradocruiser.
I'm wondering if it is a common failure on trucks of our vintage..
Well this is unusual. I think??
I was looking under the hood of the Prado the other day and went to check the trany fluid.
Grabed the stick pulled on it the stick came up along with part of the tubing that holds it..:crybaby:
Looks like it broke just at the bracket that is bolted to the engine...
What I'm looking at is the steam that could be generated in the head.
With the Evan coolant maybe it wouldn't happen as it won't boil till 375 degrees or somewhere near there.
Which suggests to me it would carry the heat from the head better to the rad than a water based coolant.
Just what I'm...
Woow that rad work was about June 06
And was close to $750.00 if I'm remembering correctly. That also included pulling it out and putting it back in with coolant
I figured if I just recored it It was already the right size to fit back in and that it would be just a bit thicker with the extra...
Hey Prado-kirk
All I can tell you is my experience.
The THW sensor was my issue.
This was figured out by procces of elimination over months of testing sensors etc..
I tested this sensor and it showed shorted with next to no movement on the ohm meter as the motor heated up. Cold the...
Man o Man!!!!!
I just wish they (Toyota ) would bring em into our country. :frown:
I'd love to get one of those..
Oh well I'll keep dreaming..:crybaby:
I was looking at some papers today and came across the battery tray stuff for the second battery tray.
Which is the rear most on the LJ78.
These are the part #'s for the original Toyota parts and the way I went.

Hey guys. Save some money, just get the rad re cored But add an extra row or two if you can.
I added one row and it made all the difference to my truck. Granted there are still other things to do to keep it from over heating..
Like non water based coolants.. Ever hear of Evans Coolants?
Check em...
