my truck is leaking coolent and I dont know where from I know its not the radiator cuz its driping from the engine but I dont have time or money to fix it or replace parts can I use some stop leak to try to stop it o atleast slow it down or are there any other suggestions

 

DON'T USE A STOP LEAK!!! They will clog passeges in the engine and cause you nothing but trouble.

Fix it right the first time.

Okay, where is it leaking from? Front, top, back of the engine?
How much does it leak?

This is going to require a little time and some money to fix, it might be somthing as simple as a cracked hose, or it might be somthing serious.

 

Stop leak can clog up the passages in your heater core and radiator. It might stop the leak but it can also make you overheat in the summer.

 

I have a 89 4runner. Will they fit? How old are the shocks?

 

Hey there, TEX.

Maybe just shoot Victor a PM (as I assume you are referring to the Edelbrocks shocks in his sig?).

the leak is from the front...I replaced my thermostatand the seal but it still leaks so it might be waterpump not sure and I cant find my yota repair book to take it off to see if the gaskets bad... any body got any good instructions with pics or a link

 

of its the water pump that could suck. should do the timing belt while your at it. sorry bud

 

hello, I Just Replaced The Pump And Belt ,and Thermostat. The Water Pump Was Leaking From The Impeller Wheel, Which Is The Water Pump Wheel The Timing Belt Spinds While The Engine Is Running.. It Leaked From Behind It And It Dripped Onto The Top Of The Oil Pan And Onto The Floor. To Replace The Pump, You Have To Remove The Fan Shroud,radiator Fan ,alternator,power Steering,and A/c Belt. Remove Both Timing Belt Cover And You Can See If There Is A Crusty White Powdery Material Around The Pump And Engine.to Continue You Have To Be Mechanically Inclined, It Will Be Reccommended To Get Someone To Replace The Belt And Pump, Because It Is No Fun Removing The Crankshaft Pulley And Not To Mention If You Install The Belt On Wrong And The Timing Gets Screwed Up Sorry.. If You Are Doing It Yourself I Can Tell You How I Got My Pulley Off After Trying Ways That Were Used On The Tech..

 

chiba how much in parts? how time consuming is it? did you replace the tensioner and timing wheels/ gears? i think mines do and im debating on taking it to my mechanic or doin the weekend gig. thanx Charlie
