I don’t yet own either brands, but from what I’ve read online, the rotopax are quite thicker than the other brands so they don’t swell as bad as the others causing them to leak. Either way you have to vent any them pretty much every day if they are filled as the heat will make them swell. You...
Latest report:
Spoke to my mechanic today, as well as another shop for second opinion.
My mechanic did a thermal camera test on all components and said they found no “cold” spots on radiator or hoses which indicates no blockages. I asked about the coolant sensor and he told me it has a coolant...

Ah great idea! I have one of those, I’ll try it tomorrow. As for the coolant temp sensor I didn’t realize that could be a problem so I’ll have them check that out.
The coolant never sprayed out like an overheat would do, and ac blows cold as it should consistently so I don’t suspect it’s...
This thread is sending me on a roller coaster of emotions. Thinking about our old pals and making me want to find new ones! Can’t imagine what life would be like without them. We are blessed to have such amazing companions. Warms my heart.
Here’s my best pal Kane who we just said our last...
That’s why it’s so frustrating lol. I checked the level when I picked it up from the shop and it was at the full line, after the drive to Tustin it was full to the top again. Idk
It’s probably something simple that is being easily overlooked like it usually is. I hope anyway.
No overheating at all. Stays cool as a cucumber, just below half on the gauge. Just pushing coolant out of the overflow. I also replaced the radiator cap hoping that was the cause to no avail.
Here’s our beloved 4runner we call Trigger. This is the most recent pic I have but we’ve added a lot of new gear since this pic. I’ll be hitting the trails again soon so I’ll have more action pics to come.

Thank for the reply!
the radiator was replaced with an aftermarket replacement before I bought it. I believe it’s similar to oem as in not upgraded. I’ve had the truck for 3yrs now and never had this problem until recently. My thoughts after reading the 4runner forums is that the radiator may...
I’m having a problem with my 4runner (04 4.0L V6) and hoping I can get some input from the Toyota owners out there.
It keeps spewing coolant out of the overflow reservoir for some reason and I can’t figure out why. I’ve taken it in to my mechanic 5 times now and spent about $600. They keep...
