I just bought my 4runner & it keeps getting hot & overheated once. When it overheated it did not smoke or spill out of the new radiator, it leaked out of the reserve instead. When I turn it off it smells like burnt plastic. Also, there is a ticking noise inside the engine when I accelerate. Any suggestions?
The V6's were known for blowing head gaskets. One of your engine cylinders is blowing hot air into the cooling system which of course then overheats the engine. I had the same problem and spent hundreds of dollars on a new water pump only to have the same overheating issue. I bought a $10 can of head / block sealer and followed the directions. Saved myself thousands of dollars in new head gasket repairs. The block sealer worked. No more overheating. Problem solved.
Check to ensure your "NEW" radiator is circulating, check the thermostat make sure it is not stuck.
The ticking is probably a lifter Change the oil try a high mileage type. Raz,...
