    Yeah heater will have the difference, leave the radiator cap open, truck on, heat on full blast but no defroster, let it run and all the air in the system will bubble out, if you get a coolant bleeder it’ll help a ton, they’re only like $20, we use them at the shop almost everyday

    Probably dealer added feature like all weather mats or whatever..

    @joseph_womack , thank you gang! I kept cap off while truck was running with heat before going for a ride and some bubbles came out. When I ran out of coolant to add, i closed cap and went to ride around town for errands.

    Could be anything as simple as gluing in a bedliner. Mine has one of those stickers too, it reads 0lbs/kgs, my guess is that it was put on by whoever repaired the back end after she had a big bang.

    You would think there would be an element of materiality. Anything under 25lbs should be ignored.

    Not if you are OCD about overloading your pickup and wondering if you should take that box of floss with you or make a second trip.

    Well, this sucks...

    She is cooling and sucking all my precious coolant away. I knew it would get a little low when cooled, but not this low! Picking up another jug tomorrow. I guess that explains my capacity/fill discrepancy.(and no, it's not on the ground underneath the truck)

    Do you think they factor in the weight of the sticker when they calculate the amount to put on the sticker?

    That's incredible! Gang, I have sort of related question. If I don't start very often, does it mean my started will last longer?

    Setting aside any damage caused by the elements, yes 100%.

    Distilled, de-ionized water isn't real easy to find.
    Toyota super long life isn't available as a concentrate, supposedly it's really picky about impurities.
    That said, I added distilled water to my sienna a few years ago. It has not exploded into flames.

    Is that damage from wheeling?

    Awesome. I used to want to do this until I realized how much gas I could buy for the cost of a new tank.

    My steel wheels look unholy after changing tires twice during its life. Sam's club also torqued the nuts so hard I had to jump on the wrench like a rabbit to loosen them up.
