    Better to face it head on and deal with it now than try to keep the coolant topped off and let it blow a HG eventually when you forget to check it. I'm sure several can attest to that

    Hate to add to your stressed pocket book already but if you haven't done it I would replace the hoses at the same time as the radiator.. good safe insurance

    Especially since older rubber hoses lose their strength and have been know to suck themselves closed

    Easy enough... at least for my 2.7 4 banger that is.

    Drained, removed, reinstalled, hoses swapped and refilled in a little over an hour. But I'm slow and meticulous and don't have power tools to use



    Buy red coolant to go back in, your japanese motor will appreciate the lack of electrolysis

    You're 5 lug but relatively the same I imagine. I didn't think it was difficult. Just time consuming. Might want to consider replacing other coolant system components while you have the coolant emptied for the radiator replacement. Or if you don't just know that you'll likely be doing those other things within next couple years, the thermostat, the hoses, etc

    You should buy it, then part it out it ... I'm in desperate need of a replacement black drivers door so I'll absolutely but it off you










    If you sell it to more for half off whatever you list it for and drive it from UT to Oregon and leave it under the keep portland weird sign on I5... If I remember correctly the sign is right above the door to the sister bakery that @Wulf posted earlier :D

    You should buy it and part it out, I'd like to do the gauge cluster upgrade to my 98 and that white one has fewer miles on the clock than my current one. I'll definitely buy the cluster from you
