    Hello - I have a 1996 2.4 Tacoma that decided to leak out antifreeze on my way home last night. I suspect it's a rotten radiator (I can't really tear my car apart to fix it due to health issue).

    Can anyone recommend a shop that you can trust that's near Tigard/Beaverton area that won't overcharge for a simple job like this? Thank you

    A while back I removed my radiator by plug bc I wasn't driving it too often and we kept having freezing weather , Since then the dang radiator plug quit holding the water, didn't wanna spend the money for a new one and purchased abt 6 other plugs from the auto parts and online, nothing fit, so my quest to the pull apart scrap yd. Finally yesterday I found a toyota tacoma with a plug still in it , yeaaaa it has a rubber washer like I thought , so I got the radiator, compared the plug with mine and it was the same. Now I know for sure what washer and where it goes on my plug . There is a difference of the threads tho, mine is fine threads, but it fits perfectly. All the many times I came on this site , many others was having the same issue, so here is a pic of the washer and where it goes on the plug. Now the other plugs that didn't work, I can use some of the o rings if they fit ..
