Radiator finally cracked on my 2013 LC (145k). What else should I replace during replacement? (1 Viewer)

[Arcturns]

I'm sure there is an existing thread someone could point me to. Otherwise, what say the braintrust? No plan on selling the rig. Water Pump?

 

[Tex68w]

Starter, alternator, water pump, plugs.

Builds - Supra88's High Mileage 200 Series Build

Most recently I picked up a clean 2008 Land Cruiser from the PNW. I originally intended on picking up a low mileage 200, but ended up with one that has 228,000 miles on it! It's a one owner well taken care of vehicle. 100% dealer serviced and it came with a lot of extra goodies: ARB front and...

Fan support bracket & bearing - with high mileage check yours

2013 3UR-FE Landcruiser, just approaching 150k miles. I had a belt squeal on cold start at about 120k and installed a new OEM serp belt, which resolved the issue. At the time I checked the condition of the idler and tensioner pullies, as well as the fan support bearing (our fan doesn't run on...

Alternator or tensioner... how can you tell?

The curiosity got to me so I stopped and looked it up. Both tensioner bolts are 17ft-lb. As posted 32 for the idler is correct. If you do the fan bracket 3 bolts are smaller and 17ft-lb, the large lower bolt is 32. All of these bolts are reusable. In the FSM this is all under Engine/hybrid...

Aisin water pump

A Genuine Toyota radiator should come with the foam gasket.

 

[jjtrou2072]

I did the idle & tensioner pulley, fan bracket, pcv valve, and new hoses on my 2013 when I replaced the radiator a couple weeks ago.
Water pump was replaced a couple years back by previous owner or I would have probably done that and thermostat as well.

Threw a new belt on there as well, (Dont buy it from Toyota, most expensive serpentine belt ive purchased).

Radiator does come with new foam.

Why the hoses though?

OEM only is the way to go. Especially for things on or around the engine.

 

[jjtrou2072]

I agree 100% which is why all my parts were purchased through Toyota.

After my initial shock at what they wanted for the belt I searched on here and want to say you can buy the same oem vendor supplied belt elsewhere for alot less. Supposedly same exact belt if I remember right.

In the grand scheme of how much was spent on that weekend maintenance project the belt savings would have been minimal, just irritating.

Why the hoses though?

Those are optional. Some higher mileage guys in hot climates will do good to replace them. Rubber is not forever. For your rig they should not be needed.

 

[pvchaitanya]

give your miles, cheaper bare minimum option is just the radiator, upper/lower hoses and serpentine belt, idle pulley and tensioner pulley.

Rest everything is pre-emptive. the waterpump, thermostat, fan clutches and other pulleys like fan, water pump can last another 100k miles or fail tomorrow. even if they fail, they can be replaced without removing radiator.
