Will check those out. They said they were checking the lca bushings to see if they were shot and they said they appeared good. Im going to check that next to make sure its not stuck.
Anyway never ending story with this new rig. Was taking a drive with the family to go hike. About halfway the 4runner started overheating (90 degree weather and pretty hilly road, not that it should matter). I stopped to let it cool down, upon opening the hood i hear the overflow bubling hot with coolant.
Once cool went back on the road. Started over heating again so i stop to let it cool down. This time I turned the ac off once I got back on the road and it did not overheat at all. I tested to see if this was the reason it was overheating once I got 5 miles close to home I turned the ac back on and behold it overheated again but started to cool down once I turned it back off.
Got home pulled the cap and it had no retention and no visible spring, also looks to be the oem cap and radiator if that info matters. I checked my 1st gen tacoma cap and it has a spring that compresses when closing the cap on the radiator.
What could be causing this? Thermostat is my guess, maybe radiator fins clogged? Radiator cap?
