What have you done to your 1st gen Tundra today?

That's the ones! But mine are yellow handle knockoff Kleins. Guess I should call them "pump pliers" instead of channel locks.

 

Now thats a suspension kift

 

You out there burl huntin'?!

 

just a big ash. And i dont wanna burn all my oak, and finished off my cedar pile.

 

Got my oil changed today and learned that I had coolant leaking into my oil. So that should be a fun journey.

 

Dam man, hopefully its something non fatal. But it was a good catch

Worst come to worst engine rebuild with 11.0:1 CR pistons and upgraded connecting rods.

 

It wasn't there (or at least it wasn't brought to my attention) at my last oil change in September, so its probably a new problem. Its been driving just fine. I'll look into getting it fixed next month sometime.

 

Next time, unzip, remove 14mm bolt. Separate fabric from foam and throw in washing machine. Air dry and reassembly. Time is money.

 

We do this with any fabric upholstered furniture in the house also, on any seat cushions that're upholstered with zippers. Kid spilled something on it? Unzip all of them, into the wash on gentle, which is usually enough to get the fresh stain out without making things look more worn than the rest of the piece.

 

Oh man a washing machine wasnt getting that shit out. I honestly thought it was far on the arm rest at first. It was a hardcore elbow grease job.

But noted for next time, thank you

 

Shit, dude. Did they say it was frothy or did you get to see it? Not questioning the findings, just curious.

 

They didn't mention frothy. They showed me the residue on the fill cap.

 

Oh. You don't have water in your oil. That's a symptom of short trip driving, and steam building up in the valve cover. Totally normal.

Get a new oil change shop if someone else raised this with you.

That's reassuring. I am a short trip driver. Excluding a long road trip once a year, I drive about 30-40 miles a week. I know that's not healthy, but I can't help it if I live two miles from work.

So your saying its nothing I should be overly concerned about?

 

I just updated my reply with a Toyota Maintenance video. Give it a whirl. Nothing to be hyperconcerned about. You DO NOT have coolant in your oil.

 

I wad gonna do my front breaks today, as i thoight they were like really low, like nackered low on tbe pads. But I dont know, compairng to a new pad theyre just a bit less than half on both sides. What do y'all think. Lett em ride for a few more months or what?

 

The second link in your post, that's about what my fill cap looked like. Good to know its not catastrophic. They noted on my paperwork that my oil was "sludgy".

 

Fuck me shifty what dont you know about these trucks

 

The pad on the right isn't properly seated on the rotor, note the two spots with overhang? Super weird. But yeah, those have plenty of life left.

 

I call bullshit on that report. Someone probably saw the filler cap and was interested in scaring your into some money. Any chance you may change your own oil next time so you can assess directly?

Also, with short trip driving, you need to be changing based on months, not miles. Are you doing that?

 

I seen that when i was doing the UCAs. Cant find a symptom or a cause other than improper install alignment. If anything its keeping that outter edger burr from forming lol

 

Dude in the video also checked out a Ferd and a VW. Both had same. It's not just these trucks

 

WL calipers on WE rotors?

rotors all seem to be the same. Dunno. Weird.

 

Highly doubtful I'll change it myself. I usually go about six or seven months between changes. This time was exactly eight months. How many months would you recommend?

 

You have any shops near you that sell/use BG Products? I can look it up, what major city is near you?

 

I'm not sure what BG is. I'm near Memphis.

 

It's good shit

Engine – BG Products, Inc.

 

Possibly, who knows with the owners 4 and 5. They "just good enoughed" so much shit on this thing I have projects for months. Like there's an 05 06 front end on this truck with 00 head lights and fenders..... So when i go to get it repainted i get to buy all the correct trim pieces and sub structor shit. Also explains why I cant propelyr mount the blinker housings to the head lamps.....
