Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II

The Highlander's water pump was making noise and seeping a bit, the timing chain cover was dripping oil and the radiator was dripping antifreeze out of soft spots on the drivers side tank. So I pulled it all apart yesterday afternoon and put it back together this morning. I couldn't believe the number of loose bolts I found. Basically if it wasn't a bolt for belt adjustment it was slightly more than finger tight. It makes me wonder about the internals. I also found a freeze plug that was seeping so I replaced that too. The belts are in great shape and so is the upper radiator hose but the lower hose is pretty soft and the spring inside is badly corroded and a piece bike off. Are the radiators hoses readily available?
