The entire cooling system consists of the rad and rad hoses, fan and fan clutch, thermostat and waterpump, more or less.. Your waterpump should get done with the timing belt every 100 thousand or so. Rad hoses should be firm, fan should have resistance when spun and the coolant should have good flo...

Will any generic full aluminum aftermarket radiator work?

Butch from CVI in Richmond got back to me. Said 3k at 100kmh in the manual is normal. Seems high, wondering if there's a way to swap out for a taller 5th gear for highway driving? I downshift on anything more than a small hill climb anyways, so it wouldn't be a big deal and would only be for flat ro...

AC doesn't work in this thing. Compressor is shot. There isn't even a belt on the compressor. Does that belt control anything other than the AC?

Is there any upgrades to the l300 cooling system? Doesn't seem to be much room for a bigger radiator. The fact that she runs a little warm uphill kinda bothers me a bit. If that's just how these girls are, then so be it. But if there's a way to improve the cooling system, I'm all ears. If not, a boo...

So you're saying I'm going to have to get used to driving a vehicle that the temp gauge fluctuates, and pay attention to it up mountains, cutting the AC off and downshifting if need be?

Greetings folks. Just picked up an 88 L300. 175,000 km on the dash. On the drive home, at highway speeds on flat ground, the temp gauge barely made it past 1/3. Was at the bottom margin of the temp logo most of the time. During some hill climbs, she would climb to 1/2-3/4. Was wondering if this is n...
