Imminent cooling failure

Oops... did I miss something...??
You "Mericans"... I just don't get some of the "humour" south of the border... You guys got me... I guess..??? eh??
Sorry for not understanding the "humour"...south of the border...!

I'll try harder next time.... Us Canadians always apologise..! I'm really sorry, OK...?

 

by sorry you mean "fuck off", correct?

 

I just passed 20k and 14 months. I will look tomorrow

 

Holy crapomoly, someone actually remembered (and found) that post! Props!

 

one of my favorite posts- I use the word sorry more often now as it is fun to speak Canadian. Also chuckle when one of my Northern brothers uses the word- cool to be "in the know".

And all kidding aside, props to @Peanut83 - this is what TW is really all about - thanks

 

Mine has a very small clearance between the metal bracket and the sleeve protecting the hose. If the sleeve wasn't on, it wouldn't be close to touching at all. However, it is still rather close and I will be grinding some metal away as a precaution. Thanks for the heads up. Decided not to grind. Put a tie-wrap on it and moved the hose downward a bit. The tie-wrap is around the protective sleeve. Time will tell if it moves or not.

 

No, I meant SORRY, just like I said. The joke did go over my head or under my legs, or something.

 

Sorry

 

Toyota will probably revise the hose (e.g. mold a 90 deg bend into it) in 2019 or something...

 

Why not just remove the hose, cut 1/4 inch off and put it back on ?
Then you have clearance.
You might not even need to remove the hose. Just take a razor blade score 1/4 inch all the way around cut it off and push it down a little.

 

OK... just what did YOU mean by "sorry"..? HeHeHe..
Just kiddin' friend..!

 

That looks like it would work on my truck. I will be showing it to toyota at first service and see what they do first.

Hey thanx OP... I just performed your mod to the bracket... less than 5 minutes.
Mine was touching and the "hose protector" sleeve looks like it has rubbed a fair bit.
Better safe than sorry. ...Oh, and by sorry, I mean "sorry"...HeHe

 

Thanks for the heads up OP. Mine is touching so it's time to bust out the grinder.

 

If you were looking under the hood instead of posting 7000+ armchair messages you might have been smart enough to find this almost negligible issue.

 

Checked mine and it was rubbing. Pointed it out to the dealership during today's routine service and they ground back & painted the bracket.

 

It's not the consumers job to play mechanic. This is absolutely a design flaw on part of Toyota.

 

glad that issues was resolved for you. My truck is diffetent- lots of clearance fwiw
