Been a long time since I have posted anything. Been driving my daily a little more often, but thinking my radiator is going out and leaking. It is a green gold color on the top and I do not know if I just have a bad radiator or a head gasket leak. I have to fill up coolant ever once in a while any thoughts? Other then that still been contemplating getting a 3rd gen 3sgte from a st205 and swap it. Thanks in advance.

Hey man ! Glad to see yer still up and running. If its the OEM radiator the green flunk thing up top is common on the old steel radiators. Toyotas in general , not just alltracs ... dump that shit for an alum one. They are cheap as hell now ... ;)

Hey man thanks I was thinking that. Might need a low pro fan though. By the end of all this extra stuff I might be ready for a new swap lol or rebuild.

Hey it has been a while. What brand did you get on the radiator? That will be my next big thing besides the body work on the car

I will have to do that but I might go with a low pro fan. Thanks. Your alltrac is the spitting image of what I want mine to be and look like.
