Here's mine. All stock for now. Iv got a couple things in mind for it but nothing to over the top.

No it's not running hot at all. It runs just under half way mark. Yeah it seals good and everything, I drove the hell out of it last night. That upper hose is still hard but not as much as it was before.

I hope its that easy. Lol I went and bought a new radiator cap last night and noticed something very interesting. Do you see it? The old one has a huge rubber gasket on the bottom and the new one doesn't, its very small. The old one must be pushed down into the radiator and the new one sits in...

Thats quite a good possibility but I rather doubt it. The cap on the other hand im not sure about as iv never replaced it. How do I check that? Replacing it sounds like a plan either way. The thermostat is only a few months old but I wont rule that out. I havent needed to top it off for a...

Thats my biggest fear. Might have a bit of exhaust getting in the coolant lines. Im hoping it's a clogged radiator. From what I can see the previous owner put a large amount of radiator stop leak in it. The radiator and the recovery bottle are both packed with that gold flaky crap, not to...

Today on the way home from work the upper radiator hose came off on my 93 4Runner 3.0 V6 . Wtf? I was cruising at about 65 mph with the windows down and all of a sudden I smelled coolant. At first I thought it was the car in front of me but before I could even complete that thought i saw a huge...

Gotcha. Will do thanks alot man, I really appriciate it.

Yeah kinda. The shop that swapped the original trans was pretty good, price was good and they got a cutie who sits at the front desk so id say yeah.

I just checked it before I left for work and sure enough iv got quite a bit of slop there. It moves a bit more than I would think is normal. What does that mean? Am I screwed? Im screwed arent I?

I checked it a couple days ago and it seemed fine but now that you say that ill have another look.

Will do. What should I be looking for other than the obvious movement of the shaft? I replaced the U joints not but a few weeks ago so I know its not that. They had almost completely fallen apart.

Will do. Ill see what I can find on that. That is a pretty good place to start being that it started to do this after I got it back from the shop when they installed the new trans. Iv heard that several times but there has got to be a cause to it. If I find anything ill be sure to post it.

Just checked that. It's not super loose but it does have a little wiggle room. Also just to clarify. The outside weather plays no factor in how the truck shifts. What I ment by cold was as in completely cooled down as in after it has been sitting all night or all day. Also I noticed something...

I understand it can be a pain to diagnose something you cant see. No worries. Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated. Actually no I don't to my Surprise. I would have thought it would trigger something but it hasn't...... unless the light has gone out or something.

Actually I had it done at a shop. But no all the parts off the original transmission where used on the new one other than some seals which are new. I knew that would come back and bite me in the hind quarters.
