I am about to do the timing belt/Water pump service on my 1999 with 315k on the clock. I am hopeful to see this one go over 400k. Everything on it is tight, and running strong, it's a testament to how well Toyota put these things together even my compression numbers are awesome.
I am ordering a a OE kit from Amazon with the Aisin parts, I also am going to knock out my heater T's and thermostat.
My questions:
I am ordering a a OE kit from Amazon with the Aisin parts, I also am going to knock out my heater T's and thermostat.
My questions:
- I have a little weeping of pink crust on my upper and lower radiator hoses. I can't think of a reason not to replace them at this point correct? New clamps too. Any one know of a good OEM source?
- What other hoses should I knock out while I am in there? Heater lines? the thermostat hose? oil filter cooler fitting and throttle body? Would you replace each of these?
- Should I replace the radiator cap?
- Is there a preferred brand of Toyota RED coolant?
