- Well here it is!! I'm winding down the coolant line videos
and finally tackling the fabled "Hose Of Death".
This is the one thats destroyed so many Toyota Van engines, so it's essential to update this one without hesitation.
Hope you enjoy watching some sparks fly as I provide measurements and essential info for taking care of this pesky destroyer.

Stay Tuned- Part 6 will be on the way soon.
Your videos are all so helpful but this one puts you into folk hero status.
Ahh man!!! I'm blushing!! LOL! Thanks for watching and hope it helps keep ya on the road!
Stay safe and healthy. Happy Travels!
Toyota loves those "pesky heater hoses" they are a Land Cruiser thing too. It's easier to only cut 3 sides of the hole also, then bend the metal down or to the side for access. Cool vans, nice to see them kept alive.
Thank you! This was really helpful.
Glad to help. Thanks for watching. :)
THANK YOU for this video! One of the most intimidating jobs on these wonderful Toyos but this helps so much.
Agreed! it was scary! But I've got lots more confidence now that it's done.
I replaced the back head plate gasket and that hose of death without any holes and it was hell. Also i now HATE fiberglass with a passion lol
Lol! I totally agree, fiberglass is the WORST!!
At least you got it DONE! Congrats on that!
Just watched through your series and there's a lot of value to this I think. :)
I checked out an ad for one of these a few days ago and loved the van but it's got some engine quirks (rough idle namely),
so I wanted to get acquainted with these motors and I believe this has done it!
McKenzie B yep- they do have their quirks as I suppose all vehicles do.
I’m still just learning and thankfully there’s lots of help to be had.
Thanks for checking out the vids and hope they’ve been of some value.
thanks for these videos brother. i just purchased and 87 toy van and going to work on it with my son. your videos are great! keep them coming
cant wait for part 6
Hey James- so glad they’re helpful.
I’ve been on a hiatus with the vids for the while. But am planning to start back up very soon. (Make sure to subscribe, so you get notified with anything new)
Hope you have fun with the new TV!!
I'm ready for part 6!
This was great! Thank you for posting this!
Sure thing. Hope it’s helpful. :)
The magnets were brilliant. That also allows for everything fitting, even if your hole isn't perfect. Something almost always will fit back where it came out of.
Yeah the magnets worked pretty perfectly. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for the videos I have a 1985 it had been sitting for 10 years when I bought it I just got it running and in process off trying to find an alternator.
Hey Steve- glad you’re enjoying them. Pretty cool about the 1985. Alternators are a dicey proposition. You can buy aftermarket ones, but they tend to be hit and miss quality-wise.
If it’s an original Toyota Alt in the van, you could have an alternator shop rebuild/refresh it. That’s basically what I did with mine.
@@GraeSkyeStudio I also only have 107,000 miles on it
Oh yeah and I only get $400 for it which was kind of steep considering I'm seeing so long but I took a chance without even looking at the inside of it actually some pretty good shape
This is what I did to mine, cut a hole, but I did it to get to the fuel pressure reg on the rail.
Also another hole cut to change fuel pump so I don't have to drop the tank.
I love the idea of an access point for the Fuel tank. Maybe a future job.
Yeaaah, mate. Keep on rolling.
victor abreu thanks man!! Will do! :)
this is so intimidating. I am on my second van. it is in good shape with 140 K but it will need these hoses replaced. Keep them video coming. There is next to zero info on these vans.
pixotee2007 thanks, it’s been a bit since the last video. I’ve got more in the pipe, so keep an eye out.
As far as the job, It was a bit of a bear but worked out fine. It’s Definitely worth the updates, especially for the peace of mind!!
Make sure to not cut stuff on the other side.
I did that to my van about 15 years ago and I never recorded it 🤪
If you’re like me- it’s great knowing it’s been refreshed and I can get to it pretty quick if need be. Happy travels to you. :)
I have a 1986 toyota van. Love it but not much of a mechanic. Know where l can take it to get work done when needed? Live in pittsburgh pa
They’re great little vans!! As far as mechanical stuff, I wasn’t either till I started reading and learning. Of course it takes time, which is a very valuable commodity.
As for mechanics, I’m not familiar with Pennsylvania. I’d suggest joining the Toyota Van Facebook group and see if you have any van owners in your area. There’s always good advice available from the TV Family in the group. facebook.com/groups/52191869582/?ref=share
Hi, I have a 88 Toyota Van LE that I purchase 1 month ago and I live in the Caribbean so it's hot all year around. It seems that the person who had it eliminated the piece it connects too. I seen it Toyota forums that you can cap it off is it true? Will it work for now until i find that metal thin tubing it connects to?
Hi. Sorry I never replied to your message.
Honestly, I've never heard of capping it off. I'm not sure how that would impact the engine as this is part of the coolant circulation route.
....
If you try to cap it off and it seems to work, let me know how it affects things. I'm curious now. :)
Happy travels.
@@GraeSkyeStudio thanks for the reply...I ended up solving the problem by just adding the hose directly for now to the manifold where it belongs, since there was no hardline. As soon as I get my hands on the hardline I will change it.
how well have those magnets and the adhesive you used for them held up to the heat? i would think that the heat of the engine bay would do a number on the adhesives over time.
I haven't had it open in a long while. But being that it's still all sealed up. I'd say its doing fine so far.
I'd agree though that paying attention to the adhesive being industrial grade is very important. Especially regarding heat.
My van it's a 1984 Toyota wagon do you know if you can fit a 2.5 engine my van has 2.0 what's the difference on engine sizes? If you know I appreciate it if you share some info thank you
Hi there Hector. Unfortunately I'm to sure about the sizes and the fit. You might be able to reference some of that info on toyotavantechdotcom. Theres a ton of helpful knowledge there. Thanks for watching.
They make a set of pliers for those clamps that use a cable so you can sneak it into very tight spaces. I think I will be replacing my HOD soon just for peace of mind. I'll let you know how it goes.
Yeah- I'm always finding new and useful tools. It can be an addiction collecting them. LOL!
Hope your HOD job goes well.
We are leaving for a massive road trip this weekend. I'm considering cutting the hole tomorrow and replacing our HOD. Did you use Gates 5/16" inner diameter heater hose?
Oh man. Honestly I can’t remember off the cuff.
If memory serves, it was the same hose size as the others I replaced. If you have time and are close enough to an auto parts, I’d just take the hose in and have them match it up.
@@GraeSkyeStudio Ok thx! Also, did you replace the 2nd hose of death that Tim talks about on TVT? Wondering if that one is accessible from underneath on the 4WD or not?
Erik, I did replace that second one as well. (It’s in one of the other coolant line vids). You can’t really access it from below without replacing a couple of other hoses that sit in the way.
I’m at work, so can’t tell you which vid it was. Sorry.
At 2:43, the nut you're removing hold what look like some smaller air sensor tubes. What is it exactly? I don't see any similarities with mine (1987).
If I remember correctly that was a hard-pipe cradle connected to a rubber hose. Honestly can't say off the top of my head exactly what it is. I'll check the manual for any info and let you know when I get a solid answer.
@@GraeSkyeStudio Thank you so much for a quick response. I was in the middle of tinkering on my '87. Unfortunately, I feel like the Chilton manual I paid a 30-day access to on ebay doesn't seem to cover any of those rubber tubes. Do you happen to have any access to any manuals that would have the schematics that cover those? Thanks again!
Nim- according to the manual, it looks like that's a fuel line. I'm sure the models and design defers some from model to model. Crusty is a stripped down panel, no Air, manual tranny.
@@GraeSkyeStudio Really? I def gotta find an affordable resource with schematics and exploded views. Repair manuals are like $150 on ebay. Sheesh.
Hey, man. Where is that coolant line going?. Mine is anulated....
Do you mean the HOD?
Honestly, I can't remember which parts of the engine are connected by that hose. I'm sure if you follow the HOD thread on www.toyotavantech.com it'll give you more of those
details.
How do you know once you get the hose off if it’s bad?
The ends of some of my hoses were slightly cracked from age. But honestly, even if the hose looks fine, it probably worth changing out. Especially if you have no dates attached to the last time it was touched. :)
I would love to do videos of some of my mods. Email them to you and you post them.
Unless you are near Seattle then you can do it.
Unfortunately I’m not near Seattle. I’m in NC.
If you’ve got some cool custom stuff, you should start a channel. I’d be curious to see it.
