Ooof surprised it's not falling apart

 

Prolly hasn't seen a dirt road yet Give it less than a year once they start going dirt roads, let alone actual trails

 

That's if it survives the trip to Moab lol. *Sees it on the GPS* oh hell nah!!! *Commits suicide*

 

My tacoma had green in it since like 08

 

Id get a new upper rad hose, simply because mine burst after i turned it off and parked the week after i got the truck

 

Quick google search for electrolysis damage... most of the results are from hot rodders (probably because their vehicles are older as well as ran green coolant their entire life) but here are some toyota motor specific examples

 

Pulled it, only to realize the auto store guy ignored me and gave me an auto transmission radiator.

Someones gonna get hell for this when im off

 

Fucking AutoZone now advanced auto. U literally cant make this shit up

 

You can still use it right? It fits and everything? You just leave the auto trans lines capped off.

 

When i pulled the heads off my truck to give to my buddy there was none of that

 

Beat me to it


Should still be the same measurements, I'd run it if you're in a pinch... those auto cooler lines can stay disconnected

And if it every leaks internally, it's like a built in weep hole lol

 

We only carry auto transmission rads because why make 2 when one works for both

Even when you specify auto or manual it gives you the only rad they carry

Kinda like how i ended up with tundra ball joints from autozone

 

Offer to help them with repairs for the learning experience. A have a buddy that charges $250 an hour to work on them or anything else British for that matter.

He's got to be getting a Royal fucking by somebody.

 

That's good.. it's not a guaranteed thing to happen, two of those pics are from a 22r out of a 85 off yotatech and the 3rd one was a 3rz. Green coolant on it's own can break down and and cause that damage but what will really accelerate the process is if you get transient voltages that run through the engine.. that's why it's so important to keep grounds tight and corrosion free! And be smart with installing and grounding accessories cause those can create all sorts of transient voltage problems

 

I had to deal with some of that on a 70,000 mile 4Runner engine intake manifold steel gasket against aluminum. Not sure what they ran in terms of coolant.

 

The hoses are in different positions as are the bolts

 

Great now im worried cause the grounds on my car were trash and it has green coolant

 

Why would i dick around to smash it in there to fit?

 

Wooop

 

The Brits sure do love their luxury POS Range Rovers and Jags.
