100 Series General Tech and Classifieds

[wct49]

While the parts guys at Toyota may not "recommend" changing the 6 heater hoses with the Ts, I'd still do it. On the three vehicles where I've changed these, two of them had hoses that were "less than optimal." If the Ts are old enough / bad enough to be an issue, (a) you also have to be concerned about losing parts of the crumbling Ts down into the heater system, (b) you gotta figure the hoses can't be great after that much time, and (c) since two of the heater hoses are connected directly to the heater core, it's better to cut those off rather than tugging them / twisting them and risk damaging your heater core (causing a leak.)

It's a little extra money (around $100 for 6 hoses and 2 Ts), but I think it's worth it........Just my $0.02

good info!

Shame on my brother @sleeoffroad for not designing that around a $500 Yeti.

I'm sure the 200 series guys will get the real love

My preference was this steel belted coleman 54 qt.

So damn close to fitting but just off a bit.

If you're driving a 200, you're not slumming it with a YETI.

Kula could not remember if he did the heater T's on my truck when he did 90k but these look new to me

Is there a non plastic tee that can be used?

 

[Bomar]

Mine looked that good but were close to going when I got to them. Cheap ins.

Someone in the 100 Series section found/used a metal fitting. Don't remember the specifics.

Grogan they look crusty. It's the part you can't see that fails.
Camron the fittings that some are using are PEX metal T's. The PEX T's are close in diameter but not exact. Personally I'm fine with spending and extra $16 at every timing belt for oem T's.

 

[wngrog]

Shoot. Oh well. I'll put it on the list.

Next time you are ordering some metal ones order everything I need I'll drop it off let you do it @offr0adlim0

 

[offr0adlim0]

I use oem plastic. PEX differs in diameter.

 

[wngrog]

OK cool. I'll put some in inventory.

Intermittent speedo. Has to be the speedo sensor right?

 

[Bomar]

That is where I wouldd start
