Summer special for the do-it-yourself CSC'rs. 80 series:
Toyota T-stat: $14.57 / gasket $3.16
Toyota Radiator cap: $9.84
Toyota red coolant: $18.98
Upper hose: $ 10.79
lower hose: $ 10.79
Second lower hose: $8.47 or $10.64 depending on the year.
I use the 80 example here. But of course we have parts (and the love) for all cruisers
. Just call and ask for Kristal 602-200-5531 or come by the dealership at 16th St and Camelback (enter from 16th St). Be sure to mention the MUD discount!
Thanks, Murf

Alive and kicking. I need to replace the radiator before the family summer road trip. Leaking from the top tank seam.
We don't know where we will go this summer other than somewhere with cooler temperatures.

Alvin,
I have found the opposite to be true. I will not deal with the idiots at Precision, but have had good luck with one of the parts girls at Desert.
so, I should really bring the 40 in and complain of sudden acceleration
I mean, the throttle return spring broke twice already....
also, my floor mat sometimes prohibits me from being able to push the gas pedal all the way down

No doubt! Claudia, Ive got stories that would make you laugh, cry, shake your head in disbelief, and get heartburn all at the same time!
Without getting into it, Ive noticed the handful of "runaway" claims Ive been involved with are all by the exact same person down to the age, sex, hair length, marital status, body size, emotional status. Is like a carbon copy.
Sad but true. Thank God for BP to pull the media sharks away for now
Yea. Thanks to BP, nobody noticed that there was a small article a couple of weeks ago, buried near the Obits, that said the government had found that virtually all but one or two cases were DRIVER ERROR! No evidence of the brake pedal being touched. DUH?!?!

The power of suggestion combined with the lack of accountability (or even the seed of thought of "could of been an accident on my part?" - notice I didnt say "My fault"?) is an amazing thing.
Im still trying to figure out how I can use this phenomenon to rule the world.
In the end, the other 99.8% of Toyota customers are the best in the business. The demographic and type of person that is a Toyota owner makes working there a pleasure

As expected, I had to live through the Audi thingy, same deal.

Ahh yes - the Audis crashing through walls...Thats what happens when you can shift into gear without having to have your foot on the brake. That "phenomenon" almost put Audi out of business.
Since then all cars have brake switches tied into the shifter.

Yep, but it was basic the same thing. A car is not going to rocket through a wall at idle, maybe bump it. After much ballyhoo, it was determined that drivers were shifting into gear without brake applied, when the car lurched forward the wrong pedal was fully applied, powering through the wall. Same deal, idiot driver fail, that cost everyone huge $$$.
The "real" reason why LC's haven't been making the news
At least for us dinosaur owners - my flat out speed of about 65 mph isn't terribly scary for anyone (outside of the vehicle of course - dam noisy inside), and I have a STICK SHIFT and can put it into neutral.
Driver error does not surprise me in the slightest. However, I would point out that the more complicated you make a system, the more unexpected conditions occur that you can never test for. The attached has been computer geek humor for a while, since the mid 90's, but notice how much more relevant it is *now*.

If Microsoft made cars
At a recent COMDEX, Bill Gates reportedly compared the computer industry with the auto industry and stated: "If GM had kept up with technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving twenty-five dollar cars that got 1000 miles to the gallon." In response to Bill's comments, General Motors issued a press release stating: If GM had developed technology like Microsoft, we would all be driving cars with the following characteristics:
1. For no reason whatsoever your car would crash twice a day.
2. Every time they repainted the lines on the road you would have to buy a new car.
3. Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason, and you would just accept this, restart and drive on.
4. Occasionally, executing a maneuver such as a left turn, would cause your car to shut down and refuse to restart, in which case you would have to reinstall the engine.
5. Only one person at a time could use the car, unless you bought "Car95" or "CarNT." But then you would have to buy more seats.
6. Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, reliable, five times as fast, and twice as easy to drive, but would only run on five per cent of the roads.
7. The oil, water temperature and alternator warning lights would be replaced by a single "general car default" warning light.
8. New seats would force everyone to have the same size butt.
9. The airbag system would say "Are you sure?" before going off.
10. Occasionally for no reason whatsoever, your car would lock you out and refuse to let you in until you simultaneously lifted the door handle, turned the key, and grab hold of the radio antenna.
11. GM would require all car buyers to also purchase a deluxe set of Rand McNally road maps (now a GM subsidiary), even though they neither need them nor want them. Attempting to delete this option would immediately cause the car's performance to diminish by 50% or more. Moreover, GM would become a target for investigation by the Justice Department.
12. Everytime GM introduced a new model car buyers would have to learn how to drive all over again because none of the controls would operate in the same manner as the old car.
13. You'd press the "start" button to shut off the engine.
