Well, I figured out what was wrong with my S600... Busted radiator. Anyone care to guess the price ? Whoever is closest can have the damn thing.

EDIT: The TurbochargedSquirrel got it at $2100

Hmmmm...$2500 radiator, with about a dozen auxiliary coolers on top of it, doesn’t drop in or out easily, lets call it $3,250 in labor. Round off for shop consumables.

Lets call it $6,200.

Which is why I have a w123 merc! And why I have a 240z instead of a 911! Dig hole, begin shoveling currency into hole.

You and TurbochargedSquirrel will have to split ownership of the S600. Good luck and Godspeed...

10-12 hours IIRC. Extrapolate dollars from there as you will.

2 1/2 to 4 hour drives are the sweet spot in an LS400.

A Platinum Tundra does 5 no problem. Mostly because the aircon seats/bluetooth/blind spot really reduces fatigue.

I did Chicago to Minneapolis (8 iirc) in one go in the S600. Well, except for a gas stop anyways.

Yeah I could probably do it in the LS but I usually have no place to go that long haha.

The only reason I did that was because I bought it in chi chi. Also do you have heated seats in your LS ?

I do. Mine is a base model 1998 which I think all got the heated seats but had less things to break. Plus VVTI bro.

That’s typical 1990's Toyota. Up until they had the high and low heated seat options they were always insufficient.

The radiator was only like $450. They have to remove the entire front of the car to get at it though...

10-12 hours on what should be the only easy job under most hoods?!?

And by most hoods, I probably mean any carbureted vehicle, because that's all I know...

Where did you find this post? Dumpster diving down in kinja’s basement?

But anyways, the non-v12 non-ABC radiator is a lot easier. But there are so many hydraulic lines and cooling hoses and so little room to put it all that you have to take apart a ridiculous amount of stuff just to get to a couple bolts that would otherwise not be a problem.
