X2-picture links suck. we are lazy.
With a photobucket.com account you can just copy and paste the [IMG] code into your post and than we get instant gratification with the pic of your truck with out the extra work

Have fun with your truck, looks like one I recently saw on the portland craigslist...good find

nice truck, I have never seen a xtra cab with bench seat. you need to fix that rust on the bed on passenger side, that metal so thin rust will cancer the bed real quick. You need a rear bumper before some idiot takes out the tailgate. but its a nice truck, you got a good deal

Van Cour · 11-07-2009, 11:03 AM

yeah i know the only thing i dont like about this pickup is the rust in the bed

. i definitly need to find a rear bumper for sure any info on how to fix the rust in the bed guys? do they sell kits just like they do old cars and trucks or what? or will i need to get a new bed?

ocdropzone · 11-07-2009, 11:22 AM

adjusting my valves will stop it?

Van Cour · 11-07-2009, 01:03 PM

it will tick tick tick tick then go quiet for a bit then tick tick tick? someone told me it was running to rich and breaking down the oil making it smoke? another said valve adjust? cant really tell in video but it goes quiet then ticks maybe could get a better video farther away?

oh. I didnt mean adjust them to make it stop smoking. I meant adjust them because they are loud as hell.

Or it could be the timing chain chewing into the timing cover...then the smoke could be from coolant getting into the pistons some how

Either way, take off the valve cover. inspect the timing chain and do a valve job.

Is the oil milkshake looking? coolant brown/blackish?

toyota4x4907 · 11-07-2009, 01:12 PM

And I really couldnt tell if that was blue smoke or white smoke. So I assumed it was white. White=burning coolant. Blue(ish)= burning oil.

Van Cour · 11-07-2009, 01:23 PM

its actually blue and oil is perfect color like it came right out the bottle take a quart of oil every 500 miles? i think it was. coolant looks niec and pink and clear to

Etype R · 11-07-2009, 06:52 PM

could be the timing chain guides, probably need to replace them along with a new timing chain.
