I replaced the radiator and new temp. with dual electric fans. it ran well for a week untill it started overheating again. The pink substance is showing up in the radiator again and have no clue what it is. Any advice would be great thanks.

I would look for a bad shift solenoid. This item will be inside the transmission pan and on the outside of the valve body. There should be three of them.

Give a dealer a call ask for the service department,Ask if the have a repair kit,also call your local parts stores ask them for parts and what special tools are required.Most of them are honest and will be happy to help.("Don't try to unhook any AC lines you could blind yourself if the freon gets into your eyes. if you have to pull the compressor.take it to a repair shop have them drain it for you first").

Slips out of 1st and 5th
Have you checked your transmission fluid level and your transmission filter? That's a common cause of slippping.

How do you fix the low beams when the high beams work on a 96 Toyota Tacoma? Checked Bulbs,fuses all are good.
sounds like it may be the lever itself on the wheel for turnsignals etc. otherwise use a test light to determine where power begins and ends at the switch by removing it a good ground and start testing by switching from hi beam to low beam this will let you know if i am correct with my determination

96 Toyota Tacoma lacks take off power and stumbles
Any trouble light? Sounds like it might be misfiring during acceleration which is more related to ignition quality than timing. Check the spark plugs--if badly worn, replace them. Might need new spark plug wiring. Check the air cleaner. Replace the O2 sensor if the truck has a lot of miles. Look for loose or cracked vacuum hoses.
