    Great video! I appreciate that you showed how to drain the bock, it really wasnt difficult. I noticed if you turn your wheels all the way to the right, it provides plenty of space to get at the block drains and you dont need to jack up the rig.

      Also, I do appreciate him showing how to get the most out of the coolant system the amount he’s pulling out from the heater hoses and the block seem negligible. You’re going to get your bulk amount of coolant when you drain the radiator.

    For me this is overkill. I just drain/fill the radiator with distilled water a # of times until clear. Of course I run the engine in-between each fill to cycle everything. I've never drained the block through those drain ports on the engine. Once I see clear water I personally will do this about 3-4 more times just for extra security that every bit of old fluid/residue is out. I then put in the new fluid. To get any air bubbles I just squeeze the hoses and I shake/rock the truck on each side. Some say you should change the thermostat housing each time. DO NOT change if there are no issues. The only issue is if there is corrosion around the gasket area. Again, I have 260k+ miles and original radiator, water pump and thermostat.
    BTW - request the "old" red fluid at your Toyota dealer. It comes undiluted. I have a 2014 Tundra which now has 260k...no issues EVER with this truck. Don't buy the pre mixed stuff for major $$$ that the book recommends. The "old" red fluid is suitable for our Tundras - confirmed by Toyota when I enquired.

      We have a shop out here in Southern AZ. On occasion, we contracted with a radiator business that served several dealerships for over 30 years. The owner/manager always suggested to change the thermostat every 5 years, when we flushed the cooling system. Why? Thermostats can stick and over time, that spring wears out. This typically occurs in the Summers when the engine is under greater stress due to our very hot Summer weather. He recommended to replace the coolant between 50-60,000 miles because the coolant breaks down. We also do not use tap water (due to high mineral content) We always change the thermostats and the radiator cap and never had a vehicle return for overheating problems (unless it was a cracked radiation tank/expansion tank. It's not worth loosing an engine or warping a head or head gasket just to save the cost of a thermostat and cap. Yes, most certainly an overkill to many, but then again, we are aware of where we live and climate.

    Emptying the heater core is a good idea BUT... now you run the chance of air locking the system. I would have put the lower hose on and filled the system from there. Put the upper hose back on. And then fill the radiator/rest of the system.

    My only concern if you live in the salt belt or rust belt, careful loosening engine bolts. They will ring off very easy and you will have a really bad day. My opinion, let the dealer do this job. Sometimes trying to save money can cost you a ton when something does not go your way.

    • @Elevationem
      @Elevationem หลายเดือนก่อน

      The engine block drain bolts are made of brass and are threaded into a stainless steel drain valve. The drain bolt is only torqued to ~10 ft-lbs so if it doesn’t break free easily (especially in the rust belt or with an older vehicle) I wouldn’t touch them because, as you said if they were to shear off it’s gonna be a bad day. If you drain and fill your radiator every 30-50K miles it isn’t necessary to try and drain the engine block. It also really helps prevent air bubbles getting stuck in the cooling system, especially the heater core.

    • @ToolDemos
      @ToolDemos  ปีที่แล้ว

      Coolant types are formulated for specific cars because of the materials that they use internally. The gaskets and o-rings on the thermostat, head gasket, and other places react well to the coolant they were designed for.
      This is actually a bigger topic than you might realize. It’s worth the research you want to study up on it.

      Aisin is the OEM for many Toyota components including coolant. They make high quality products that I am always happy to use. On the coolant container it says OEM engineered formula. It is made specifically for Toyota/Lexus. I did get a better deal on this coolant compared to the Toyota dealer, which is a good thing.

    So I bought my 2020 tundra brand new. I’m at 40,000 miles. I change my oil myself, and cab/intake filters myself. Well now the trucks getting older, with more miles. I’m going to change the transfer case and diffs myself at this next oil change. Is there any discrepancies about when coolant changes (no frequent heavy tows) and transmission oil changes?

    • @ToolDemos
      @ToolDemos  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Coolant is at the first 100,000 then every 50,000 after that only. Transmission (and gear oil) do have a severe duty maintenance schedule. High heat, heavy loads, and dirt roads can all be factors in oil/lube frequency.
