221,000 miles. Thanks Peter for sparing me the immense effort of D-E-M-A-N-D-I-N-G the mileage! I hope all the vital fluids are changed with all the critical care you are providing under the hood.
Maybe you know this trick. Take a crescent wrench and set the size on a good section of round tube. Move the wrench up to the damaged tube area and rock the wrench in a 1/4 circular motion until the tube rounds back into shape. 👍
The jiggle valve is a very good idea for letting trapped air out of cooling system....if there is no jiggler valve on thermostat on my own vehicles I just drill a 1/8 hole in thermostat makes it very easy to bleed trapped air that can cause overheating.
They should have offered this engine in the Tacoma. Could never understand why they did not. I do like my 4.0 though. Will be proven in time to be stone reliable also.
I agree, the more choices the better. Let the paying customer decide what engine and transmission comes with the truck/car they are buying with their hard earned money. You may remember that 10 years ago the 4Runner came with the 4.7 V8, 4.0 V6 or 2.7 4 cylinder.
Check your owner's manual and change your timing belt religiously. If it goes, then you will have serious problems. Other than that, you have purchased a very reliable vehicle.
There is two kinds of 2UZ-FE engine. One has an alloy intake manifold and the other has a plastic intake manifold. One is interference and the other is non interference. But why the same has the same code which is 2UZ-FE???
May I ask a question: how do you know it's the wrong power steering fluid? Factory ATF is clear and I think many dealer garages use clear fluid, too. Is it because it's not red? Thanks for your channel! (btw, be careful with that oil dipstick tube...it's held in place at the pan with only a small O-ring and if you pull up on the tube too much to free the dipstick you can pull the tube loose....ask me how I know :/)
@@brian_jake Yes, but the fluid as used by the auto factory is almost always clear. Some say it's to allow dirt to be more easily detected. Some say it's to allow a mechanic know if it's been changed.
i did mine a little while ago. i noticed the new one was a smaller diameter than the original. i decided to use it anyways because the it looked like it still had plenty of sealing surface as long as it was centered. But now, 3 months later it is leaking. i must have gotten the wrong one.
Shame you can't use Toyota red coolant in other makes/models. That super long life concentrate keeps your cooling system clean for years, everything always comes out spotless.
Probably not much. It is probably only to get all the air out of the cooling system when the coolant is changed, so you don't have to fill it more than once. But who knows, the air might get trapped somewhere and decrease the engine cooling (unlikely with the speed of water circulation by the pump) or heating for the interior heater?
Hello Peter, i just noticed a hairline crack on the top of my 2002 tundra radiator (coolant seeping out slightly). Do you recommend replacing with Toyota original or Denso or use an aluminum radiator? Thanks.
I just paid $725 out the door to have mine done on 2002 Toyota Sequoia, same 4.7l V8 engine. When I called around locally, the estimates were typically between $800-$1000. My Sequoia had 218,000 at time of belt/waterpump replacement. The belt was badly cracked and ready to go at any moment, the water pump also had a small leak.
