Need new Radiator

Where in Sacramento is a good place to buy and new radiator for my 02 Double Cab. Son Browed fit or a year when he and wife split supposed to be until he could get his own work car. got it back low on water, Oil and needing new tires. Before I loaned it to I had taken it to Oil Stop for an oil change, wrong the idiot over tightened the oil filter and it has been leaking for over a year was down a little over 2qts when I took it back, noticed at that time it low on coolant. fixed oil leak and have been changing trans fluid, Dif oil and other neglected maintenance and driving it a little weather permitting, Today when leaving Dog Park noticed coolant under RF corner of Truck, itls coolant, it is not overheating it is leaking when hot and under pressure. He was supposed to put new tires on it, not he put two used on the front non matching tread 45 PSI back one are bald with cord showing. The truck is torn up cosmetically but all he did was keep it clean but never checked the oil or coolant. I bought this truck the day I retired so I am not a happy camper. Can't blame him for the Radiator or oil filter but the tires and not servicing it pisses me off, he knows it. So at 73 I am back work on my car. Have new plug, wires and Valve cover gasket set on order will get new tires next weeks and then start on it when everything get here. Wife Mini Cooper will get booted from Garage for few days, The truck has been trouble free for 150K miles other a waterpump/thermostat, a couple of batteries, tires and brakes Followed the Toyota Maintenance schedule until the kid got it. So now he get to drive his beautiful lowered Black Chevy truck to his construction job in Fresno. I told him he was lucky that he didn't blow a tire with grandkids in truck or put tire on it a kept driving until ittom blew up from lack of water because he would be buying and 3.4 from Toyota not from U- Pull- it

 

Damn......messed up.

 

...welcome to TW...

Hope you can fix all your truck problems and be happy with it again.

 

Just went through this with our 04 Ford Expedition same mileage 150K That cost $700 because of the HD trailer tow package and the labor. The Tacoma is a lot easier and I will do it myself. Was an Auto Tech for the CHP for 30+years so I should be able to do it. Need to find a pressure tester first. It looks like it leaking at the top header tank or hose. The dealer changed the hoses when they did the Water Pump a few years ago so it could be that OEM clamp. I have an old Stant Pressure Test but it doesn't fit these newer cars. It could also be the cap as it is the original although it doesn't look like it been leaking there. Finish the Income Taxes first to see how good the refund is then start ordering parts. Probably get tires on it first and then go from there.
