Dry radiator how many gallons do i need on a 1995 toyota 4-runner. my radiator is dry.

Dry fill: 7.5 L (7.9 US qt, 6.6 Imp. qt)
With oil filter change: 7.0 L (7.4 US qt, 6.2 Imp. qt)
Without oil filter change: 6.4 L (6.8 US qt, 5.6 Imp. qt)

I don't think its transimisson fuild .
Is the smoke white if so the head gasket is blowen.
Not really many ways transmission fuild can enter the combustion chamber unless the transmission cooler lines are breached inside the radiator.
Do you see antifreeze on the oil dipstick or oil floating on top of the antifreeze in the radiator white foem its 25 years old think about that

does the vehicle crank? if it does please remove the old air filter and leave the air filter intake box open, unplg the maf sensor, try and let me know.

Too much heat can smoke your ignition electronics. Lay a spark plug out on engine metal (or clip wire grounded) to check for spark. Other TMI - For many of the 90's and 2000's Toyota various models - Camry, Tacoma, 4 Runners, Corolla, and some other models overheating is usually caused by temperature sensitive fan switch on the radiator not operating. Electric fan on the radiator should operate when temp above 200 degrees. Less often the control relay 90987-03003 is defective. Check if bubbling in the radiator smells like exhaust. That would indicate a blown head gasket. A jumper wire from your marker light positive to the lower contact in the fan control relay socket will operate your fan when parking lights are on. The larger vehicles with more powerful radiator fans will need a hefty jumper from a headlight positive to avoid overheating the lighting wiring. Make sure the engine is off and warmed up to check the radiator core with your hand to see if it is getting circulation. If it is all cold the thermostat might be stuck.

Since the Haynes manuals are limited on diagrams, you'll probably need to find an official shop manual, either on Ebay or thru one of the online forum/discussion groups.

MAP sensor or Mass air Flow Sensor bad

check to make sure that the wiper is not stuck in the window seal. Pull it out if it is and then try. The window will not roll down if the wiper is in that position.

There is a heater core bypass pipe that runs from the block (under the manifold) to the bacl of theengine where you will see a flat rectangular "sheet metal" thing with a pipe coming out of it. The a rubber hose connects. You need to pull the top air plenums and intake to get to it. The p[ipe flange bolts to the block with silicone rtv as a sealant.

You have a bad alternator.

I have a 95 Toyota 4-Runner and the dipstick measures 18-1/2" in length.
