Complete Silicone Hose Swap.
All the rubber hoses were cracked. I was concerned about trying silicone hoses because they wouldnt be pre shaped however I've had no issues whatsoever. I've got coolant hose kit with prevent hoses that cover every coolant hose on the vehicle even the ones behind the engine. In addition more length of the blue silicone hoses to finish 100% of the lines. Looks great and will last forever with no cracking. Honestly not that expensive. Coolant hose kit was $145 which was expensive but the actual bulk hose was only $60 and I'll have a ton left over.

I think its safe to assume that when anyone buys a 3rd gen 4R that all of the coolant and vacuum hoses have hardened. There's a lot of maintenance work to be done on these things if you buy one without a lot of service records now.

Looks great OP. Nice work.


Second that about needing to replace hoses. Leaks and overheating are a great way to get stranded. I wound up catching an oil-soaked oil cooler hose that probably wasn't far from letting go (267k). Valve cover leaks are common from what I hear and will soften and swell hoses. Have replaced all heater hoses with a decent silicone hose kit plus OEM for: upper and lower rad hoses, the 2 oil cooler hoses, heater valve, and my rear heater hardlines for peace of mind. Back to OEM red coolant and spring clamps too. The way it should be.

Looks like you changed the radiator to an all aluminum one. Does it still have a atf cooler in it or you completely bypass the atf liquid cooler in the rad?

I used a Mr. Gasket kit in silver that I got off e-Bay for $15.00 which allowed me to do those same hoses with a few others like the ones going to throttle body and even the ones for the windshield squirters.

Do you have a link to these hose kits other than a generic kit on ebay?

It has an atf cooler in it but still plan on running an inline trans cooler as well. It's a champion cooling systems all aluminum radiator that's made for 3rd gen 4runners. It's a 3 core instead of two. I installed it when I did my timing job with new water pump etc

Yeah these engines tend to last so long and be so reliable that valve cover gaskets get notorious for leaking hahaha

I think the blue looks rather cool, too. That's just one more reason why I always look forward to replacing OEM plug wires with NGK ones.

The ngk wires are the reason I went with the blue hoses. And I'm going to soring for king suspension this upcoming spring which is blue as well
