I'll keep checking it then. Thanks for the advice! Ya I can't afford a big repair bill right now. But it has 200k miles already so I should start saving...

FYI and YMMV
I have a 98 Toyota Camry and made sure to use toyotas recommended radiator fluid. They have two types and mixing them will create a sludge like substance.
I say this because I have 315 thousand miles or so and I'm still on the original radiator and on my second water pump. The water pump only because it's easier to do when replacing the timing belt.

Went on an awesome adventure with my brother and friend and found some amazing waterfalls after a fun little off-road drive (with alot of stream crossings) and then promptly blew my high pressure return line for my power steering as soon as I tried to park for lunch

Somehow, just because I read all this radiator business, my truck's radiator decided to spring a leak this morning. RIGHT BEFORE I WAS GONNA LEAVE TO THE DESERT!!
Glad I caught the leak, could've been ugly.
Dammit, I hate delays.
Edit: updated with photos!
If you're in LA, and in a pinch - Julio at LA Radiators at 930 Vermont Ave. is a great guy, and veteran.

I've been contemplating how to best mount the Maxtrax once the RTT was installed, as I'm keeping the driver side free for the impending awning install. Then it dawned on me to use the RTT straps by adding an extra length of webbing and buckles. Now I can also use the same lock for the shovel and Maxtrax. So far so good.

Full of fuel, washed, waxed, generator checked/run monthly, and her best outfit on. She is just longing for a GPS destination. [emoji41]

Thank you [emoji482]
It's a V10, 2005 only 43K miles. The wife/Boss won't go for a "noisy, stinky" diesel. LOL... Was lucky to find this loaded Lariat in prestine condition.
Nothing wrong with a v10. Have a buddy with a REAL NICE v10 with a turbonetics rear mount turbo. He didnt do it for "performance" so to speak he gets EXCELLENT fuel economy out of it. Ill have to find his build thread you will get a kick out of it. Ill try to send it in a message when i find it.

Dude Matt!! I didn't know you were on jere! Nice idea on the food cooler. Custom built I assume?I added a " food warmer" to the engine. About 2 1/2" above the exhaust manifold. Going on a day trip Monday and will see how well it works then.

Yes custom built. One of the perks of having a plasma table in my garage. Going to give it a good test in a week when we spend 4 days on the eastern side of the sierras and in death valley.
