New to the site... found you all through google!
I have a 1992 Toyota Pickup, and currently I am loosing a little bit of coolant (but don't know where from) and the truck is having trouble staying cool. I fill the coolant back up, however it would still get super hot (not overheat though but a little too close for comfort). I stopped driving it for now and ordered a Helms manual for it.
After looking in the manual and researching the problem I came to the conclusion it could be the water pump and or thermostat. Even though I replaced the thermostat about 5 months ago... Does this sound right? Has anyone had a similar situation?
Other questions...
Should I go through advance auto parts for the water pump, or is that a no no? I know advance's electrical stuff bites the big one so that is why I am asking.
Are there any good sites for stock Toyota parts?
Thanks for your help in advance any thing I missed please let me know!
