anyone here has tried changing the upper and lower radiator hoses?
since i have over 125000 miles, im thinking of changing them and most likely change
the thermostat also. im plnning to buy the TRD thermostat from carson toyota this wknd.
i hear good things about it. it helps temperature to run a little cooler of the car by opening
of the thermostat a bit early and letting the coolant flow.

 

I add Redline Water Wetter to my cooling system, it lowers the temperature by 10-15 degrees. I've been using this stuff on my other cars for the last 10 years and it keeps my cars running cooler. I also use 25% antifreeze instead of 50% because it helps keep my car a little cooler too.

Oh, changing the radiator hoses is pretty easy, just unclamp the old ones and then clamp on the new ones. Changing the hoses on a car that has over 100k miles is good preventative maintainance because the hoses get old over time and it is hard to tell if it is about to burst.

 

yo, eric...tks for good advice.........where can i get this redline stuff??>..and how much?

 

Pep-Boys, it's around $6.

 

ok....tks. ill go buy one today while i pick up my radiator hose frm the dealer.

how much redline coolant shud i put or mix with water?

 

the whole bottle.

 

tks buddy...

so, did you put those fogs yet? are thy working good? how about the bulbs? did thy even lit up?

 

I put on the foglights when I got home the night I bought them from you. They are working well, I just have to adjust the aim of my headlights & foglights so they cover as much of the road as possible.
