thermostat

My cabin air blows cold until I turn the temp up to HI. It then blows hot. But even at 75 it still blows cold. My coolant was flushed recently and is full. The engine isn't overheating. Has anyone had this issue? Is my thermostat bad?

Rubber Gromet Style Thing Leaking coolant on LX470/100 series!

I recently took a road trip that included the desert areas of SE California and West Arizona. I saw ambient temps between 105 and 117ºF [40.5 to 47.2ºC]. My engine coolant temp (viewed on ScanGage) varied up to 204ºF [95.5ºC] under high load (climbing, AC on). Under lower loads (descending) the...

Vehicle : FJ40 1982 (Mostly stock) I decided to install the thermostat; in the Gulf typically the thermostat is removed to help keep the engine cool. I did a search but was not able to confirm its orientation; but from what a saw, I think this is the correct orientation. Appreciate anyone's...

I love this truck and I'm so frustrated now after literally several years of trying to resolve this issue. FJ60 1981 2F. The engine was rebuilt 2+ years ago by Marlin of Marlin Crawlers. Very meticulous. It was replaced in the car by a guy who is less meticulous... but supposedly with new water...

When I purchased my 60, it the temperature took a long time to get warm (as shown on the gauge), and when it did get warm it never really made it above the "low" side on the gauge.....in addition to that the heater wasn't really working. A couple weeks ago, I decided to replace the...

I’m looking for only the lower thermostat housing. Thanks!

My Aussie 3B thermostat outlet points to the passenger side while every other photo I have seen points to the driver side. Any reason?

Hello, I have a 9/79 with a stock 2F. My thermostat housing has a sensor in it for the oem dash (which I’m not running). I was looking to swap in an 81+ upper and lower thermostat hosing because it’s simpler and it looks like the bypass hose will offer better clearance for my Vintage Air...

I’m replacing the thermostat in 1992 FJ80 and need a part number (or description) for one of the sensors circled. It goes to the upper thermostat housing unit.

Hi folks, When we were doing our thermostat sensor broke off. I did some poking around and my best guess is it is the cold start injector. Does that look right? https://www.ebay.com/itm/165523548286

My original lower thermostat housing with the 2 BVSV bungs cracked at the flange when torqued to the factory torque spec, so I bought a new one without the sensor bungs. I've got all my vacuum lines hooked up after my desmog now except for the one running to the BVSV from evap VSV. What's...

Forgive me because Im asking for a friend and only have limited info, and dont have the vehicle here to inspect... -Radiator was leaking so he took it to a Japanese specialist and they replaced the radiator, hoses, thermostat and cap (Note: He has spent a large amount of money with them...

All three AC control switches on my 2000 Landcruiser suddenly stopped working. I have searched the forum and could not find anything that matched my issue. Dug the LC out of the snow yesterday and started it up to discover the thermostat is stuck on defrost - low, I am thankful because I still...

Hello all, I think I might be overthinking this, but after replacing almost all of the coolant and heater hoses (still need to do the ones under the intake) on my 1996 LX450 I started the refill process and I'm stuck... I refilled the radiator with about 1.25 gallons of distilled water and...

Winter finally came upon us this weekend…pounded with snow. I couldn’t have been more excited to FINALLY! Yes FINALLY test and use the 4WD 😍 Hubs; check…oddly modern but sorta prehistoric H4 button engaged; check Quick pep talk & a prayer - queued tune's for our 1 year Anniversary Date through...

In March of 2021, my OEM radiator took a dump. I ended up installing a new KOYO radiator, and OEM lower & upper radiator hoses/clamps, along with a new OEM thermostat in my 2004 LX470 that currently has around 236,200 miles on the ODO. I have only put around 17,000 miles on the new radiator and...

Hey guys, So I live in Florida and my temperature gauge always warms up in what I believe to be a normal range. I’m traveling up in the northern states atm where the temperatures are around 32f (0c) to 40f (4c). And my temperature gauge will barely rise driving around town unless I hop on the...

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...

Hi, I've had an 1985 FJ60 for a while now. I'm trying to keep to old girl running reliably. When I first got her I changed the fluids, hoses, belts, water-pump just because they were "unknowns" and easy to do. So I take full responsibility for any and all screwups :) I suspect that my thermostat...
