What I like about you is that you always seem to enjoy yourself while you’re working on cars which makes your videos more fun to watch.
I am enjoying life!! Thank you!
James I don’t doubt that at all, I’ve had my fair of that myself.
I didn't even know these 3.4s _had_ an oil cooler. My 96 Taco with 340k+ leaks worse than my 7.3 diesel which is saying something. Thanks for giving me something to check.
You rock!
Especially showing that the gasket can be removed and replaced without taking the houses off.
Extremely helpful, thanks.
Houses=hoses
Darn spell check.
Out of all Toyota engines i work on (25 years) this 5vzfe is my favorite. Still using timing belts. I love these.
Like how you’re so happy. When I’m doing these repairs, I’m cursing and screaming the whole time.
I ran across your videos from doing a YT search on Toyota engines. Go figure. It's nice to see more women getting into the automotive repair business. I taught general basic mechanics (car care really) for a few years and a few women really got interested back in the 1970s. All I could do was to refer them to either a trade school or community college, since none and I do mean NONE of the local dealerships were willing to take in a lady and teach them. I congratulate you on all your accomplishments. Plus your personality and enthusiasm make you the perfect roll model for women who want to wrench. Keep up the great work. You taught this old mechanic a few things too.

Wow! Thank you, Moe! I really appreciate this comment!🙏🏻
Is it just me or anyone else loves it when she points to her name tag when she says her name....keep up the awesome work girl..
Thank you Faye! The parts listed saved me from buying internationally! 👍
Wonderful!
So, wish I had found this video a couple years ago. My 3rd Gen has had a slow leak since I bought it 4 years ago. Found this video, checked out my cooler, and sure enough, leaking. Bought the parts and changed it out last week...not a drop of oil on the concrete since! Thanks
I can't help but smile when I watch your videos
I am a Alaskan and payed for a 99' T4R sr5. It has been my Dream mid size SUV growing up. You have Helped me save some $ diy, as well as double check with the manual to get things checked off my list. ❤ your channel, Helping others learn & keeping T4r's running out there still. Keep up the Hard work out there.
Thank you for the good info. Breaker bar didn't work for me on the 24mm bolt. Had to get the oil cooler bolt out through the driver wheel well. Long extension and a wiggle extension on an impact gun. Access is right above the upper control arm. Came off first try with the impact gun.
Omg, a problem I had got so long, finally pin pointed. Bless your heart
💕💕💕
I am glade you show how you do it and what may happen ,because you are really doing and on somthing we would be working on , not the super clean, new and spotless car show cars. And you inspire people to try it them selves.
You are one of my top favorite mechanics on you tube. Very quick to get to the point no messing around . You explain things so people like me can understand thank you. I wish i knew half of what you have forgotten lol
The sounds you make while wrenching are much more pleasant than those I make.
I just did rocker cover gaskets on my 2012 Forester with the engine in.
Just a little more than an inch and a half clearance to get at the bolts, clean the old RTV and get the rocker cover back on without messing up the new RTV bead.
The sounds I made were much less family friendly. No giggles at all.
Great to see a lady choosing a career in mechanics., You are Awesome...........
Thanks to your video the seal is replaced and now everything is nice and dry. Priceless information, thank you!
So awesome!!! Thank you!
Great video, Faye. I appreciate that you always specify what tools are needed and torque specs. for the job that you are doing. Keep up the great work...and the chickens video clips at the end.
Just did the gasket change and I would add one thing to this great video. Wait for an oil change, yes, but also, go ahead and flush and drain your radiator. The video doesn't show removing the 2 hoses attached to the cooler. Those are radiator hoses running anti-freeze through the cooler. I wasn't expecting the face full of antifreeze I got when pulling those off and because it's a low point on the block, you lose most of your fluid, so, good time for a flush and fill of the radiator. An added note, my cooler was clogged as was the exit hose for the antifreeze. These puppies are $800 to replace. I dug out all the junk with a hanger and ran pressured water through it, it cleaned it out. Did the same with clogged hose. All good and working now. Thanks again for the informative vid.
You have the option to pull it off, but her video shows it was still hanging with the hoses attached.
Love the calmness and joyful mood. Awesome video Faye
Your voice, the music your attitude and the editing plus the shop chickens! You make it fun to learn these things! Makes me wish I owned a toyota!!😜
I've got a 96 with 193,000. I've been lucky my oil cooler is not leaking yet. I've had to replace the valve cover gaskets. Thanks for your videos, you save me a lot of time.
Once again, searching for a solution for something for my Tacoma, I find one of Faye's videos. Thanks so much for the help. You're awesome!
That is SO AWESOME!!! Thank you!!!
I love your videos you have saved my 4runner from the junkyard over 100 times by now
Hi Faye! Excellent video! I just bought a 95 T100- 3.4 today and it’s leaking pretty bigly from that area as well. I look forward to using your channel as a maintenance resource. I love working on my Toyotas (most of the time 😎). Peace and coconut grease!
*New Subscriber*
Have to do this on my Celica, and was looking for the torque spec on the bolt! Was thinking 30-40 lbft, as its only a banjo type fitting! Thanks for the demo 👍
ok, just did the valve covers on my 2001, super cleaned all the old oil up, drove it for about 200mi. My oil cooler looks like yours pre-surgery. I almost went for the pan gasket, but, clearly there is oil dripping from the cooler. Looks easy enough, thanks for the vid.
fixed huge couple leaks in a MB om651 engine (E-coupe). Oil filter housing and oil cooler both were pouring out. Upper oilpan also dripped. Replaced both and will never do it again. took 2 days to find and fix the problem
Just did this repair following your vid and it went great, and that leak is finally gone. I don't have a lift so I definitely suggest taking off the wheel if other people wanna make a mess in their driveway like I did. It's a tight fit, but doable! Thanks for the guide!
I think I might have this leak. Thanks for a great video showing me how easy the fix is!
Any time!
Thanks Faye! I like in a way you explain and film repair procedure. I don't have 4Runners in my garage but it was interesting to watch. RUclips recommended your vid today after I posted so winter off road vids with 4runners) Cheers!
Damn it, I should have seen this video before I did my oil change. Now I have to wait for 3000 miles. I love that Faye is fixing everything I need to fix on my 3rd gen 4 runner.
Your such a happy go lucky mechanic! Good details Faye!
I don’t even have a Toyota but I love watching these videos and learning, great video Faye 👍😁
My mother still drive's one of these she bought new in 97 still running great at 200,000+ miles. Nice chicken footage at the end. Cheers
Love the gap before chicken vid, never sure if there will be one so aways watch all the way to end.
Can u do a video about flushing the transmission fluid, when is it safe to do so, what fluid should be use, etc. thank you
I always enjoy your videos, if for nothing else your infectious laugh and the chickens.
you do the same thing I do after a repair . looked under the car for leaks. a good habit to get into!
I love those funnels I have one for my Dodge charger
Good job, I too would have fixed that leak since it was in a component that could cause a pressure leak. Those engines remain remarkable almost leak free at high mileage. Most of them I work on have in excess of 150,000 miles and other than seeping around the oil pan and valve covers, they are pretty dry engines.
I would love to see a AIC valve replacement or cleaning vid on a 5VZ-FE.....I need to fix mine
hello, you are great, i have two Toyota's 1990 ex cab 4x4 3.0 and 1993 Toyota 4 runner 2wd 3.0...... I just want to say that watching your video made the repair's sound fun, i do most of my Owen repair's but sometime's you need to see it from a different angel, anyway's you made my day, thank's i will be back.
I noticed you have on if the screw-on oil funnels.
I have one for my Subarus.
Very convenient.
Only if I had known you didn't to take the coolant hoses off, also you made putting that thin on ring back on to easy👍👍👍
Look pretty easy, the hardest part will be to find or have the thing to lift the car (we call it 'plantilla' in Spain); to lift the cars... put tension here and there to fix crashes and bent parts etc, you know... .
Faye gets us the camera shots that usually only the most spoiled and highly sponsored youtube video makers give us. So glad to see more videos, told you we would watch you do anything Faye 😆🤘❤
You are the best I had no idea what that part was but knew it was leaking. You taught me so much!
Thanks so much, Melissa!!! That means so much to me and I'm so glad it was helpful!!❤️
Just tackled the oil cooler O-ring on my Xterra, service manual called for draining all coolant but you can get away with just swinging it up still attached! Love your attitude :)
Thank you! Been chasing leak and had no idea this was there. You ROCK!
YAY!!
So did the deed this weekend. Ended up having to remove the hoses as the gasket had hardened into black concrete. Had to chip it out carefully with small flathead. My recommendation to others would be just do this at time to change oil and rad hoses and fluid flush. Kill all birds w one stone. I did also replace the smaller hose since it was out. Now engine is oil free and beautiful! THANK you again for vid! NEVER would have tackled this otherwise! ✌
It’s nice to see a mechanic laugh about working on vehicles some of them throw wrenches and always cussing about they don’t feel like working on it good video keep up the good work are😁
Grim Repo is gonna be one bad ass parts rig while you own it Faye. You rock 🎸
Just love your videos and those chickens, I always wait for them at the end. Greetings from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷
Thanks for the tips!
I will do mine tomorrow with the oil still in! You rock!
Did you get an oil bath?
I'm happy to see your maintenance clips on your 4Runner, "Grim". I've got a 99 3rd. gen too. These rides are coming into 2 decades of being around! They keep running strong if maintained properly. The 3.4L motors are great! Thank you for all your efforts on your channel! Keep up the good work! 💜
Thanks for sharing this video, interesting and informative. Thanks
now i know kinda what to look for to help me search out the pesky leaks under my 2UZ
I need to do a UZ video series next! For SURE. They have so many hidden gems! I need YT to be my full time career so I can make more videos!!
sounds like you have your worker bees working hard :D Faye cracking the whip LOL. Great video.
Excellent explaining on this repair . Awesome 4 runner , too !
being a Toyota expert technician I recommended the oil pan on this same year model 4runner now I feel bad cause I should have checked the oil cooler gasket thanks for the helpful video. (applause yayy whooo) next time for sure
ENTERTAINING FAYE,,,,,,,,,, YOU SHUOLD BE BANNED FOR HAVING SO MUCH FUN...ALL THE LOVE AND THE POWER FILBZ PORT MAC😁😁😁😁
Great video. As always, short, sweet and right to the point. I don't know how you don't end up covered in oil while trying to video. I end up covered and I'm not even trying to film. lol
Be well! Jim
First time I come across this beautiful lady and I really enjoy the video... i learn something new keep up the good work ❤👍👍
Another awesome Faye! Keep up the great work! I almost died due to the adorableness at the end video!!
Got 3rd gen with 307k miles on it and oil cooler started leaking. Was told it would be $900 to get a new one. Will have to try this instead. Thanks!
I Always make sure to scream out in a high pitched voice," OH GOD! there's oil EVERYWHERE!" when im changing oil at the shop lol. Love the Grimm repo name! I call my motor bike "root beer" myself :)
Always informative and forever happy..... i like that!
Cheers from Australia MATE 🇦🇺🦘🐨🇦🇺
I'm glad I run into this video. I have to check underneath my 4runner.
Love your posts Faye. You’re so giddy it’s awesome! 😂👍
I just got everything to do an oil change and the oil pan gasket...now I'm gonna check that first. Perfect timing! Thank you! Also...love the chickens.
Dude. This is a nightmare on a 4x4. Just got done putting one on my JDM engine that didn't originally come with one. If I ever have to touch it again I might pull the CV axle first. 😂
Oh no!!! 😆
@@FayeHadley Yeah getting the clamp all the way on the short hose that goes up to the block was a nightmare!
Your one awsome lady ,god bless you.
Ah brake cleaner, my favorite hand soap. Always a true pleasure watching your wonderful videos! Keep it up kiddo! Cheers from a grumpy diesel tech!
Every time you do a video on grim I get mad at myself!!:) During the early 2000's I was working at a custom car shop in Ohio. I needed another car that I could drive back and forth to work. My boss offered to sell me either one of the company cars he built. A mitz 2nd gen eclipse, or a 3rd gen 4 runner. Both really decked out to promote our company. Even know it was early December, we had crazy snow, and I have already been driving the 4 runner for more than a week! I freaking bought the eclipse! It hands down was the worst vehicle I ever purchased! I really kick myself in the butt for not picking the Toyota:(
This was great, Faye! I didn’t know that part existed on my 99. And it most assuredly is causing much of my “messy lower engine”! I’ll be doing this repair. Your video was well executed too (even with all the giggling). 👍🏼
I know it's a big bolt, but being hollow I was surprised at the 43 torque spec! Great video. I really need some of those pipe cleaner style wire brushes, but they all seem expensive.
Thank you for making being a mechanics an honorable profession,
Just finished this job on a 96 Tacoma. I didn’t drain the oil and lost about 1/8 quart. Also didn’t drain coolant. When I disconnected the coolant lines I plugged them w a 1/2 rubber plug from Lowe’s (Hillman 139548). The toughest part of this job was access.
Nice!!! Is yours 4WD??
@@FayeHadley it’s a 4WD. All repairs and maintenance under the engine are a tad more challenging. But I do love that truck.
If Mechanics were this HOT in my town I'd pay to get work done on my rig :), but for now I'll do it my self ..:) thanks for the cool vids Faye!
Yay fluffy pollos at the end
Haha fluffy pollos😅
See last note- by the way- did it with the oil in-
Less came out than when you remove the oil filter at oil change! Not too bad...
You didn't drain the oil tank first? I'm about to change my gaskets and am wondering if I need to drain the whole tank...Unfortunately I just did an oil change recently and don't want to waste $
@@lhughescca No I did not drain the oil left it in
@@diogeneslamp8241 great thanks!
Hey Faye. Nice info. Glad you got the AGG gig. Big.$$$. you got this!! P.S. I think you Make The Show!
Thumbs up on top down oil leak repair.
Hey Faye you're so smart and beautiful thanks for all your videos and keep them coming, take care and God bless you😉😉
Nice and straightforward. Good work.
got an oil drip...
is it stuck on your lip...
just ask Faye Hadley
for a car repair tip...
:P
I was about to drop the oil pan glad I watch this video hope it’s the fix
Your 4Runner is my dream 4Runner I have a 98 with 344k miles
Always great content and editing! You’re a natural for the camera too! Cool stuff
Always enjoy the hack out of your videos, you make them so fun to watch. Also love when the chicken makes special guest appearances 😃🐔
Being a Ford guy I'd love to see you work on some Ford's . And I love the chicken 😍
I use those same orange gloves they work really good and they don't break
Great video. I just bought an almost identical 4 runner. Trying to track down a few leaks.
Always very informative. Thank you!
Super vid. Straight to the point!
I totally had to chuckle at 5:02 where you made a clicking sound with your mouth exactly like the click a torque wrench makes. I don’t know if it was intentional or not but it made me laugh. :)
Unintentional haha and I never thought of it like that - I love it!!!
Of the other lady mechanics I watch, Faye has the best voice!
Yes, she enjoys what she does, FAYE, AWSOME JOB
This reminded me I need to change the oil/plugs/air filter/fuel filter/blades on my riding mower and
your banjo bolt brush reminded me I also have two guns to clean.
Yet here I still am on RUclips....
Procrastination, thy name is me.
