4runner heart failure
Looking for some sympathy guys 
my 96 4runner overheated due to the radiator core falling apart (BE WARNED) cooked the engine & cracked the cylinder head
now requires head, gaskets, radiator, cam belt, etc etc

No warning at all!!!! 
the temp gauge got hotter than normal but at no time did it reach the red!! 
still she overheated. Personally i blame the radiator on inspection the engine side of it is missing cooling veins

Do you have an electric or engine driven fan, and if the viens were missing, wasn't the coolant low? Did it even HAVE coolant? There's nothing better than the occasional visual inpection to find such things BEFORE major damge is done!

LoL, you are very welcome you little crazybitch you...
Yeah, I can sympathize with you about the bills...I am rather broke right now. But I have to buy another freakin ABS Relay cause mine is shot.
Anyway, glad your rig is back up and running!
