What coolant pressure test kit works

Autozone near me does not rent out the kit with all the fittings anymore, and the kit I bought on Amazon doesn’t fit the tacoma radiator….what tester kit have you used on the tacoma?

 

I have a Mishimoto branded kit that works very well. Accurate gauges and nice cap adaptors.

 

Maybe try Oreilly’s?

I have rented this one at Autozone several times. They still have them by me. Are they able to get one from another location?

 

I got a kit from harbor freight for my toyota matrix. Havent tried it on my tacoma yet but it worked well for the other toyota

 

ive used Astro pneumatic off Amazon in a shop along with other products from that company like tire inflator that many use with success.

went with that because I don’t see the point of paying more for a hand pump that cannot keep a car resting overnight during an overnight test.

once the pressure is leaked out on a hand pump, it is gone.

If a gauge is pneumatic it can remain connected to air supply overnight. And is faster to pressurize.

 

Also have this one. Works great.

 

I ended up going with this one and it worked great….and confirmed my HG leak :/

 

At least now you know. What’s next?

 

Still trying to figure that one out. Motor has 263k. Really don’t wanna spend 4k plus for a new engine. Rarely drive the truck anymore anyways
