timmy, i wanted to thank you for the TBU vid. well, lots of them, haha, but that one helped me tremendously. got the job done with a minimum of carnage, and now the 4R doesn't thrash around in the lane on a hard brake. just re-bled it this afternoon since it seemed a little soft, still.

You're welcome. Your brake pedal is going to feel a little softer because the Tundra calipers are bigger and require a higher volume of brake fluid. But, your braking should be overall stronger even though your pedal feels different. It just takes some time to get use to.

wow. that's daunting. at present, it's exponentially more work than a 3.0 --> 3.4 swap, which has now become fairly boilerplate. thanks for making and posting that vid.

Hey guys, don't know how to ask this so I'll do my best.

Brother in law is installing the aircabinman timing belt kit this weekend. I've had a radiator/upper lower hoses/thermostat/coolant sitting in the garage waiting to go in.

My dilemma is what to do about the radiator? Should I flush and replace it before hand, flush only and replace radiator after? For whatever reason he says he can't recover the coolant and reuse it if I were to change the coolant out beforehand.

Seems to me like either way, I'll be out an extra 50 on coolant. I thought about flushing it, replacing radiator items and running it on distilled water. It will only be for 1 day, but reading online it says distilled water isn't good either on its own. Any thoughts?

He'll be doing the work on his day off at the dealer he works at and I'm already getting a killer deal on labor and don't feel like adding something like a radiator to his list of things to do.

Thanks.

Edit 04/19/16 - Other members have expressed interest in posting their DIY videos on this thread as well and I say go right ahead.

Edit 05/06/16 - It was suggested that a Table of Contents listed in the first post with permalinks to the videos would be beneficial to people visiting this thread and looking for a particular video without having to browse through all the pages. So, here it goes:

My dilemma is what to do about the radiator? Should I flush and replace it before hand, flush only and replace radiator after? For whatever reason he says he can't recover the coolant and reuse it if I were to change the coolant out beforehand.

Seems to me like either way, I'll be out an extra 50 on coolant. I thought about flushing it, replacing radiator items and running it on distilled water. It will only be for 1 day, but reading online it says distilled water isn't good either on its own. Any thoughts?

He'll be doing the work on his day off at the dealer he works at and I'm already getting a killer deal on labor and don't feel like adding something like a radiator to his list of things to do.

Thanks.

I would flush the cooling system before doing the timing belt/water pump. Flush it with distilled water. Walmart has it for $1/gal.

There's really no reason not to be able to recover coolant. There's a drain on the bottom left (driver side) of the radiator. I had to replace my thermostat after I did my timing belt/water pump/radiator replacement and just caught my good coolant in a clean 5 gallon jug. You'll lose some coolant but not much. Make sure to use a spill free funnel to purge the air from your cooling system afterwards.

After Driving or idling for a bit, there is an annoying vibration sound and feeling coming from around the gas tank, although I have not 100% confirmed the noise to be from the tank. But I can feel it in the floor board on the driver side where the fuel lines run underneath, and when I touch them I can feel the vibration in them. Fuel pump is brand new, as well as fuel filter. I have also checked the fuel lines from tank all the way to the engine to make sure the aren’t vibrating against each other. My next thing to check is the purge valve solenoid and canister. I Also have ran seafoam through. Any ideas? It’s a sound just loud enough to drive you crazy

Sorry for the lengthy post, just wanted to make sure I covered everything I’ve tried up until this point. Btw it’s the 3.4L

I went ahead and flushed it with distilled water. I left distilled water in there, it will only be drive 30 miles downhill to his house, and another 15 miles to the dealership. I figured if he really couldn't recover the coolant, at least there will be a clean slate for him to pour the new stuff in.

Hard to say. So, it's making noise not moving, just sitting there idling?

Yes, it will do it while driving as well but I only partially feel it vibration then because the car is up to speed. But sitting at an idle it’s very noticeable in the driver seat. It’s a hard noise to describe

I wonder if it could be a cracked flex plate. Record a short video clip of the sound so we can hear what you're hearing.
