    Overheating problem

    Ok, my radiator was starting to weep, so I ordered a new Toyota radiator, and was topping off coolant. My wife was just using for dropping kids off at school, but she went a bit further and LC overheated. I had her shut it off when she called. Replaced radiator, thermostat, hoses, and water...

    Coolant type/color

    What is the correct coolant for my 2003 LC? While investigating weeping PS hoses (where are folks getting the 3/8 and 5/8 hoses BTW?) I noticed my coolant bottle is much closer to low than full. I opened the cap and the coolant looks red but wanted to make sure the red was right. What's the PN...

    Blown head gasket ?

    So I picked up my 2010 GX460 at the long term airport parking lot last nite in the rain, fog and darkness. I drove the 55 miles back to my house and the last 12 or so miles and noticed what I thought was mud and water coming out from my rear wheels . As I got to lights of my small town I saw...

    Ford coolant residue question.

    Hey all. I know this is a toyota forum but coolant is coolant to some degree... Went to look at a 60k mile 2009 f150 with my Father in law. 5.4 v8 gasser. Former utility fleet vehicle for the electric company. Pretty sure this motor is specd for motorcraft gold coolant. Looks like a great...

    Anyone made a v8 swap coolant, literal flow chart?

    I want to make sure I have all the lines hooked up in the right spots between the two heater cores, shut off valves and water pump. Couldn't find a thread that covers it but this thing is notorious for head gasket problems and im trying to eliminate things.

    Coolant Leak / NLA / Part Numbers Needed

    Hey guys, got some coolant leaks on the pipe from the thermostat all the way back to the firewall. PAIR system has been removed on my '94, so I'm looking to move to the 1 piece solid pipe from the 95+ which I know is now NLA. I know there are a couple other items that are probably NLA so it will...

    Stop-gap measure to prevent coolant spill while heater is removed

    I took out my front and rear heater (tragically busted the rear motor, after I discovered it working 45 years later). I stupidly filled my coolant back up and of course it poured out of the rear heater tubes. While I wait for my rebuild kit, can I just get a u shaped tube and run the lines...

    Clean coolant passages with vinegar

    I recently bought a used engine from a Japanese half-cut. It's in great condition, except that it seems to have been left long-term with just a trace of coolant/water in, and the inside of the coolant passages is rusty. I have flushed out a lot of rust sludge with a hose, but I am still concened...

    Who is still running their original radiator? Post up!

    For all the threads about failed radiators (and finding the best replacement), I'm wondering how many original radiators are still functioning just fine. I'm about to hit 190,000 miles on my '07 LX, which I keep up pretty well (all fluids changed regularly etc.). Radiator is original and looks...

    Coolant Change question

    Hey All, Getting ready to do a coolant change on my 88 22re. Looking at the fsm , it says to drain radiator and petcock on side of engine block. I was doing a search on threads about it, and did not see anyone mention the engine block drain. Good to go only doing the radiator? The bottom of the...

    Coolant leaking down the bell housing

    I have a 2011 LX570 with 200k miles. I was replacing a u-joint on the front drive shaft when I noticed evidence of a coolant leak. It appears to have been leaking for a while but not enough to make it to the garage floor. It's hard to see where it's coming from but I can see most of the leak...

    Massive coolant leak

    Before I start tearing things apart I’ve been trying to pin point the leak but haven’t been able. My guess is the radiator itself that leaks once it gets to operating temps. Cause I found the leak after months and it only needed a gallon. Who has the best OEM prices? Or a link to a decent...

    Radiator caps - OEM vs Aftermarket?

    Hey Mudders - Feel free to tell me I'm overthinking this, it's actually what I'm hoping for! Before a camping trip last weekend I popped the hood on my 2014 and noticed the coolant reservoir was empty. Then I did what any reasonable Land Cruiser owner would do and searched this forum and...

    94LC overheated, topped it back off, runs good, rough idle and even worse in reverse.

    Got a 94LC inline 6 with 335k on her. Love the truck. Unfortunately it has a once in awhile, I ate up all you coolant occurrence. Happened 2 years ago and caught it just fine. This time after about 7-10 miles down the road, she got pretty hot. Noticed it, pulled over and turned it off. I let her...
