Had a quote come back for 3600 for head replacement including gst. Does that sound reasonable?

Cheers

that would be awesome if you could. Might certainly help out, esp over the holdiays at least. The garage recommended some stuff called........... errrrrrr rislone head gasket fix.

on top of it...

I'm just waiting on a rough quote to come through from the garage before thinking too hard about it, I don't think I'm prepared to tackle something like this. I do love the truck and it's done me...

Dont mean to resurrect an old topic but saves making a new one.

So quick update. Turns out the truck most certainly has cracked something. Head/cylinder whatever, its using a fair amount of water...

And a picture through the bottom hose of the factory radiator showing the location of the auto transmission cooler for those who haven't seen one. The reason why longrange308 recommended I go with a...

Dammit, there's always a trick. Well, if you don't mind sharing I wouldn't mind learning.

Well, it was a monumental effort. Massive thanks to my friend Patrick (who isn't on the forum but deserves thanks nonetheless), gadgetman and longrange308 for all their help over the weekend and...

Whoops shouldve finished that. I need to remove the timing belt and the cam pulley and rear plate of timing belt enclosure to get to the water pump housing

Yeah, ive sorted out lining up the timing points etc. Hadnt thought of removing battery though, thats a good idea.
A few people have recommended replacing water pump whilst I have radiator out. To...

So maybe bitten off more than I can chew, but ill work through it and see.
To replace water pump housing I need to remove cam pulley. How do I do that?

Awesome

Sorry I got caught up at work. I don't think that will fit in either, it's pretty cramped in there. I might have to go for a smaller one.



Yeah, got just about everything crossed that I can...

Where are you located? Really need to get one today so ive got it ready for sat. Whats the physical size of the cooler?

Cheers

Awesome, cheers. Do I need a certain size? Ive read up about different sized ones but haven't been able to find any info to say what size I need.

Cheers

In that case, any recommendations for an ATF cooler, size etc? Or where to get one? I would have thought I should be able to get one from from A1 Radiators along with the new radiator.

There...

yeah pretty much set on replacing the radiator. It's not easy to see in the pictures but there is a leak about 150mm long along the seam between radiator and top tank on the left hand side so she's...

So your talking buying a radiator for a manual truck and putting in a separate trans oil cooler right?

your not the first person to suggest a new water pump, what would be the rough price? And the thermostat, where is that located and is it hard to change?
Yeah, I'm going the new radiator route, so...

ah yup, I'm with you, thanks for that. Main thing at the moment is to get the radiator changed so the truck is usable again. After that, I'll get it looked over properly to check for any further...

Yes it is an auto, you may have to forgive my ignorance. I realise what it is and does, but does this not come on the new radiator? I am working on the assumption that since I asked for a...

So, whilst I would love to put in a genuine toyota radiator the price I got from the toyota dealership was an astonishing $1250 with a waiting time of 3 weeks!! When the lovely people at A1 Radiators...

Big thanks to gadgetman for dropping around to have a look see for me.
So at what point do I know if the head is rooted? Obviously the first step is to replace the radiator. Is there an easy way to...

Ok, so had a mate come around and we tried the above there was some bubbling but it settled down after a bit?.......... He seems to think its ok (aside from the leak of course). He also pointed out...

Thanks for all the advice guys.



Will try this shortly.



To be honest a hand would be grand if you had a bit of spare time over the weekend. I'm not too up with it on cars and it kinda...

So, driving around today and the temperature gauge shoots up so far past the hot point that it disappears out the drivers window. The family and I limp home as softly as we could manage it and then...
