in a week or two when a buddy pays me back the money he owes me ill be ordering a brand new rad and alt! tired of dealing with old stuff!

 

Good to hear, buddy! Can't go wrong with 'starting fresh' on certain parts! Both those can leave you in the middle of the Sierras in a WITHOUT A PADDLE situation!!!...... Yeah, ask me how I know? lol

Sounds like a plan, stan!

 

owned my yota exactly 1 year today!!! thinks its cama a long ways!

may 1st 2011



may 1 2012

 

It looked good before, but it looks even better now. The rims, tires, bumper and lights, and paint are definite improvements

 

Great b4 and after, bud

 

Thanks guys, really happy with how far its came

 

Nice work in one year, let's see next year....lol

 

Yea,buddy.Keep her on the wheels,both of them.lol

 

thanks guys, gonna do the same pic every year i own it and try to take it in the same spot, just depends on where i live this time next year

 

NOOOOOOO, ... that just means that IF you move 1200 miles away.... it's 'ROAD TRIP TIME'!!! lol. Give ya an excuse to take a trip, just tell your 'lady'(if you have one that objects)... "You don't understand, this is RITUAL!"... and voila, you'll have a nice road trip with pics and stops along the way, .......and finally, your 'Epic Once a Year Shot'! lol.

Ok, I'm overthinking it...but I'm slightly losing it lately...., just bear with me, k? hahaha.

 

i was thinkin about doin that chef, max ill live is 150 miles away, and i dont think the gf will have a problem with me doin this every year lol, as long as money permits

 

ive got really bad news guys, checked the oil this morning and it has alot of water in it. idk what is wrong with the motor, did everything by the book. thinkin the block is cracked. gonna have to sell it and try and get a first gen. really dont want to sell it but i need something to drive and i have no money to fix this. gonna be really really hard seeing this truck leave :'(

 

disregard that post above, motor is fine, fixed, turns out the milkyness was from teh assembly lube and since the crank vent was blocked off it was sucking gas down into the crank case, put a rad and just bolted in the gm alt and let it sit there and idle for a while, and drove it around for a bit and it never got above 220

 

Wow, the first posting my heart stop for 3 seconds, glad it did not happen....Bill

 

Fhewwwwwwww! Don't DO THAT to my heart, man! hahaha.

 

That scared the bejesus out of me

 

you guys have no clue how bad i felt, i was so upset at the thought of having to sell it, really glad we figured it out

 

I know the feeling... Of course, last several times, ... what I figured out was NOT GOOD! lol. I'll love it when I figure out this smog failing thing, so I KNOW how it feels to 'SOLVE' something, either way!

 

yea, i really didnt wanna sell it but i had no money to fix it and needed something to drive, but i dont have to worry about it anymore, so glad its all fine! fell in love with it again after driving it last night

 

I LOVE DRIVING THIS PICKUP!!! drove it around today, put a crank case breather on it, hounted my hi lift, and ordered my 120 amp toyota alt! i was told i need to upgrade my wiring to run this alt, is that true?
