Dude this video was so helpful! I had never changed a radiator before and I watched this video and had my new one in within an hour. Super helpful. Couple notes for first gen (1995-2000) that are slightly different from this video: The grille is different so you have to either reach through the bottom under the bumper, or take the bumper off to access the lower radiator support bolts. I reached through the bottom and it was a tight fit. I have a 2000. Thanks!
I didn't realize the Tacoma had the same engine. Changing out the radiator on my 03 Tundra today. This video was quite helpful. Thank you! P.S. my OEM radiator lasted to 209,000
The replacement radiator often comes with the automatic transmission lines attached. Just leave detached for manual -the radiator works for manual, and auto transmission...

Now I can add knowing how to install a radiator to my list
Incredible video
Triple like from me 👍👍👍
That was interesting to watch, show us more work you do on the truck if you do
I’ll be doing this on my own 95 tacoma. Owner has used green coolant since he bought the truck new so I’ll be using that. Very helpful bro thank you.
Mine lasted 297 000 miles , 23 years in V6 tacoma
I never knew what a radiator was until now
Thanks fir the helps tips prolly will need thus for the near future! :)
Thanks. Looks easy.
Does the transmission fluid need to be topped off because of any that may have remained in the radiator?
Did he say to let the motor run hot for 10 minutes? I’m changing my radiator today in my 2001 tacoma it is original and lasted 250,000 miles
might be advisable to get a new thermostat too :)
Thanks for the video - nicely done
Our OEM radiator made it to 280k miles before it started leaking
Mines at 363k and started leaking! Tacomas are amazing
Excellent
how much coolant do you pour directly into the raidiator
I removed the 4, 12m on the skid plate but seems to be stuck is there a 5th bolt or other hold
You sound like James Franco bro.
Thank you
FIRST
Does a manual transmission how those 2 small hoses ?
I don't think a manual transmission would have them because it doesn't use transmission fluid.
