Hey Guys-
Was underneath the rig and noticed the bottom radiator hose was bulging and looks like it was getting close to the end of its life. Thought this would be a good time to refresh all my hoses, drain and flush/ replace the coolant, replace my heater control water valve as well(since I have a new one sitting around and my current one is crusty as can be) etc.
I am not a mechanic and this will be the first time doing this. I have ordered the hose kit from Manafre,so I have that covered. I am running green coolant now, do I replace it with Toyota red? I am in Iowa if that matters in which color coolant. have seen some mixed reviews on radiator flush, is it worth it?
Any other advice would be helpful and a step by step layout would be ideal! Has anyone came across a start to finish video of the process… I would love to see that. All advice from the experts in this group is welcome. I am both excited and nervous about getting going on this
