The truck :
1993 Toyota pickup dlx extended cab 4x4 22re
I would like to replace the coolant hoses from the bypass to the Idle Air Control Valve. Other than the dealership, dose anyone know where to buy them? Advance, autozone, Napa and other just scratch their heads when i ask them for the part.
"Auto parts stores" are in the business to sell as many parts as they can, but don't want to carry a lot of inventory. Brake pads, for instance, are a maintenance item (they are regularly replaced) and fit lots of different vehicles, so there is an aftermarket supply and a good market to resell them.
Your hoses fit a handful of 20+ yr-old vehicles, and are generally NEVER replaced in the life of the vehicle.
Of course Advance, etc. is not going to carry them.
I don't have any idea how to DIY a molded hose, so they were probably all manufactured in the 90s and have sat in stock every since. Somebody has to pay for that storage space.
Either of those auto part stores should ... be able to fabricate hoses as well.
How does that work? I thought molded hoses were formed from UNVULCANIZED rubber, then heated in a mold to permanently vulcanize it. What auto part store can do that?
If you want to replace those hoses if you put some thought into doing it I have used the Blue Silicone Hoses you just need to make them long enough so they don`t kink .
If you want the stock hoses better grab them now who knows when the last one gets sold.

A auto part store should have both molded aftermarket (more expensive) or as I said be able to fabricate hose as OReily's has rolls of rubber tubing that can be cut for various lengths.

I was trying to post helpful information. If it was not, oh well.
Let's not get too touchy. Your posting was very clear: aftermarket molded hoses for 22-year old trucks DO exist, and simple corner parts stores CAN fabricate a molded hose.
First, if there is a source for such aftermarket hoses, we'd all like to hear where that is. I'm pretty sure it's not Autozone, Napa, O'reilly ....
Second, it now sounds like when you said "fabricate hoses" you meant to say "cut off a piece of stock hose." Those aren't the same at all. For this particular hose a piece of stock SILICONE hose might work, sorta. (wyoming9, and others, have tried it) But most molded hoses have pretty sharp bends in them, and if you tried to substitute stock hose they would kink. (I've tried.)
We all appreciate attempts at helpful information. But if you're not sure about your information, you should be prepared for people asking "how, when, where?" Particularly when you say something very clearly ("This part is available at this store.") when you have no real reason to believe it's true.
But if you were offended, I apologize for causing that.
I just did this on my 88 and all these hoses fit great, I had to shorten the 18021 but other then that no problems. Also the 18222 hose is the one that people always have trouble finding its the one that goes from the fitting next to the thermostat housing to under the throttle body. The fitting is 90 degrees on 85-88 and straight up on 89-95 but this hose will work for both. Everything was purchased from rockauto. You might not need the 18223 hose since you should have the newer style iacv on your 22re. 85-88 3 hoses 89-95 2 hoses.
Gates part numbers
for 5/16 hoses
18222 - Throttle body to thermostat fitting
18223 - Throttle body to iacv
18021 - Iacv to bypass bolted to back of timing cover
1/2 hose
18400 - Timing cover to bottom of lower intake
That is the trouble the worms get left in the can to long
They need to get out more often

Sometimes you get called to show your hand.
I thought your question was pretty straight forward
Yeah i try to be very direct and to the point so no misunderstanding what im trying to ask. But somehow someone always skews on a tangent, lol. I guess there is always that ONE GUY. lol
I have a 1993 Toy 4x4 PU that I am the original owner of. The PU has been sitting for 2 years. The PU has 115K Original Miles on it.
I want to get this thing back into safe driving condition. The truck starts with a jump, drives but sounds a bit off. It's carburated etc.
I need to drive it from Sac over the Tahoe Forest pass to Reno about 150 miles but fearful of it dying. It has had fuel sitting in it for 1 year. What do I do? Also where do I start by getting this truck back into decent reliable condition? The vehicle is clean meaning no rust damage or beat run damage but there's lots of moving parts that have not moved. I do not want to take it to a dealership for an overhaul. Any experts in this really cool type of vehicle? Thanks
