Yes, I replaced it a couple days ago..
I know the thermostat is newer, because I was there when the previous owner replaced it. But I also know when he replaced the radiator, for some reason he also put stop leak in. Why he did it is beyond me. I would say maybe the thermostat is sticking shut, but the lower hose feels like it is getting warm, although it isnt as warm as the top. Could this cause it? I have the metal head gasket, bolts, thermostat, thermostat gasket on the way from 1sttoyotaparts.com as well as a gasket kit for all other gaskets. I just wanted to have it just in case, but I want to make sure of what my problem is before I rip into it... |
