Perfect. I disassembled everything and am just waiting on the hoses and radiator to come in. Super cheap to do by self and this video makes it an easy swap. Thanks. Update: Everything went in just fine. I reused the foam as well. Around 250 dollars for parts from Autozone- thermostat and gasket, radiator, hoses, clamps, cap, 2 gal 50/50 pink coolant.
Yikes man the autozone in Compton California wants 265 just for the radiator. Perhaps is due to a 3 year inflation difference but will shop around a little further and see what I could find
Just wanted to say Thank you man. This helped me out tremendously. You have saved a lot of people the labor cost. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and I pray that you will be blessed many times over.
i'm about to do mines in a few days from now when my new radiator arrives this video will sure help me a lot great job 4 years later still teaching people like myself :)
I love to hear that. Im glad i decided on making these videos. I love hearing people are tackling these jobs to save from taking it to a shop. Let me know how your repair goes.
so i did the repair but i probably got the wrong radiator cause i just found out the sequoia has a 2 core rad and i installed a 1 core rad idk if it can handle it but i tested it dint leak or overheat so that's a good sign this is my first time ever doing this so it a good thing to learn@@hyr0llr
First time doing this...was hella eazy....thank you for being such a great teacher.... Dealer quoted me $400!!! Dicks!!! I sent your video and my recit for $98.75 in an email to them.
Yeah, its a mixture of they gotta run a business and they have the tools for all this. But its completely possible to do at home. Let me know how your repair goes. Cheers
Hey I just wanted to reach out to you and tell you thank you your video was very helpful my Toyota Sequoia is up and running again you saved me at least 300 bucks
You are welcome. Great to hear the video helped. Yeah sonetine you get lucky with bolts going back in. Ive had my fair share of tricky bolts lol. Cheers
Would you recommend to change the lower and upper house as well as thermostat when replacing the radiator for the first time? The car is '02 sequoia with 155k mileage.
@@hyr0llr - isn’t the cooler a separate unit mounted in front? From my understanding the lines into the radiator are there just to warm the tranny up to operating temp. I was curious because I’ve heard people say you should do both. 🤷♂️
@@jonmccann1324 your right there is a external cooler. i believe at 2:16 if you pause. You can see the hose lowest on the screen go towards the front to the cooler.
I replaced my 03 sequoias radiator last week, When the engine is cold, the radiator is topped off and the reservoir shows Low. Is this normal, or do I need to add more into the reservoir?
After a heat cycle or 2, itll get a little low because of it self bleeding with the system closed. But after a couple times it should hold steady. Fill the resevoir to the full line
it looks fairly straight forward eh? mine started leaking too, ordered it. It's just remove bolts and re-install the new one and reverse in order right? I love how Toyota/Lexus cars are so easy to service
@@hyr0llr thanks bro, i work on my cars too, just haven't done the radiator for this specific car, but good to see it's pretty straight forward, just remove connections and bolts and you're good to go
I installed it as you did and now my sequoia is over heating ? Weird cause when my radiator was damaged it never over heated … there’s no leaks and the car runs better now but it’s says it’s over heating after 15 min and my ax is throwing Cold air when i put it on hot
make sure that corner where you put fluid is highest point. and run it with it open. then close it off and run it still the same. them let it cool off open the cap and top it off. and do that until it holds temp and you get heat from the vent. i didnt get heat until i closed off the cap and went driving
@@hyr0llr RUN IT WITH THE CAP OFF FOR 10-15 min my car is running like a champ now !!! Saved my ass 300$ for labor and the radiator was 90$ w a discount hell yea
Question: radiator lines? Will they loose or leak out a lot of transmission fluid once disconnected? Do you have to plug them? And finally do you replace the lost transmission fluid?
if you do the job on a driveway, you shouldnt lose much. and if possible work on the vehicle after its been sitting for awhile so any residual pressure in the lines go back into the transmission to minimize fluid loss. its normally not alot of fluid if the front is pointing up. yu can buy a small bottle of the corect fluid and just top it off after the job is done.
Where did you order your radiator from. My radiator has been leaking for a while and I been putting water. Winter is almost here, so I definitely have to change it out now and possibly flushing the whole system before the new radiator and adding the orange fluid, do you know if it matters if I use aftermarket fluid from box stores like autozone?
I have a mystery leak that’s spraying the engine bay mostly on the driver side. No leaks on the ground. Only seems to do it after a few mins of driving I can hear the belt squeak for a second. Hoping it’s just the radiator leaking and the fan blowing it everywhere and not the water pump lol
take the bottom tray off the bottom. clean as much old coolant off as possible. and run the car and look from over the top or under but have goggles or a face sheild and stay off to the side to see if its coming from themotor or radiator side.
Awesome stuff man thanks! What environment do you live in? Asking because if you live in phoenix I wanted to know how your AC works and if its just super weak. I have two threads on this subject but just wanted a quick idea. Again only applies if your ambient temps are over 105F.

The trans cooler is built into the radiator

Is it necessary to top up the transmission afterwards? I didn't see this mentioned.
Didnt drain enough to make a big difference. More of peice of mind. But yes if you can get the fluid, then top it off.
I replaced my 03 sequoias radiator last week, When the engine is cold, the radiator is topped off and the reservoir shows Low. Is this normal, or do I need to add more into the reservoir?
