Hi everyone,
I'm trying to help a friend do some maintenance on her 1990 'cruiser. This is my first time working on one of these... So forgive any newbie ism please!
all of her coolant line hoses are pretty blown out and I would like to replace the whole system. I ordered a kit off of eBay that included 10 pieces, but none of them were right!
Most sites seem to carry the upper and lower rad hoses and the byoass hose, but that's about it...every kit on eBay is identical to the one I ordered that was wrong.
there's about 15 molded hoses available on RockAuto and I've been tearing my hair out trying to match them to what I see on the car. there are a handful I'm guessing on, but one that I don't seem to be finding any where are the heater in/out hoses that connect thermostat housing to the first hard line for heater system. They are close to the engine block and The originals have 3-4 bends in them so they seeme pretty important to get right.
am I going completely nuts LOL? I can't imagine I'm the first person to have this problem and would greatly appreciate any input. can't find parts numbers or explosion diagram even on Toyota website.
Is there a full kit available from any vendor? How can every seller on eBay have it so wrong? LOL.
Thanks in advance
