1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

@Taco critter I fear for your upper control arm, holy rust

 

do you need the part# for the TB cover bolts?
i just bot a new set for mine, they were weathered with humidity i guess

 

Might be from one of the hoses designated to the heater core then?
Idk just thinking that because it only happens when you use the heater

 

keep any pets away from this leak!

 

i experimented on a truck at the junk yard
its not bad at all! (dug everything out to the core)
until you have to reassemble it all with NO fucks

 

is the leak by the water pump area in front?

 

I could be way off but whenever I look up coolant leak with heater on, all I get are articles about the heater core. But they all mention coolant leaking inside the cab, so maybe it's a hose running to/from the core

 

Yeah you cant win awards if you have a leak

 

where has james @Running Man been

 

is it weather/climate related

 

I honestly did see an improvement in pickup for sure. Probably has a lot to do with the fact that my motor is struggling to move my truck to being with lol. Gains aren't astronomical though

 

as far as i know the summer gremlin rattle i had is gone now that its not super hot and no need for the A/C which had an impact on my situation

 

It's a really easy job on 1st Gen Tacomas. Takes maybe 45 minutes to pull the dash. Take another 30 minutes to change the core. The longest part is probably draining the fluid.

 

The thread I found just made it sound intense.

Apparently Tyler can get it apart in 5 minutes?

 

Global warming

 

do you need to take out the evaporator for the A/C?

 

saves lives...

 

Axles get your axles here
