    I'm game for whenever and wherever.

    Initeresting, maybe I'm just being paranoid :anonymous:

    The only time I could think is when I drove it for so long with a messed up thermostat. My voice of logic and reason was on hiatus while we were in CO and I didn't take the time to really trouble shoot the issue when it started happening over there. So I drove it home with it running a little hotter than normal and probably more pressure in the radiator then there should be.

    BTW, some advice for everyone, change the thermostat if you start having overheating issues, 30 minutes job and a $20 part.

    What I hate is how most aftermarket bumpers have even less area to be used as a step. I'm going to have to look at that when I buy mine.

    Just found a thread and was reading up on it. I've only got 60,000 miles on my truck so I don't need to do a full flush and change yet but when I was changing my spark plugs earlier I noticed that the coolant level is only a quarter inch above the 'low' line on the reservoir. I'm wondering if I can just add some new coolant to the old stuff for now to avoid having to buy the 9 quarts needed to flush and refill properly.

    Its actually not bad having it right above the low line in the reservoir. That's mainly just for overflow purposes, as long as your coolant is topped off in the radiator itself then your good to go. If you put too much in the reservoir it could overflow when your truck heats up and pushes fluid out of the radiator itself...ask me how I know :bananadead:

    This ^^ if you want to add to it. Also you may have seen this already buit this, http://www.amazon.com/Zerex-675130-...&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s01, is the same type of coolant that Toyota puts in from the factory, just not branded with Toyota and alot cheaper.

    nice creeper shots lol, looks like they have a good selection of drinks.

    I was in no way creeping, just sharing my experience and their grand opening. Our waitress wasn't that good, but that is to be expected in a new place. They will have to weed out the bad ones before they get a good crew.

    They do have a nice selection of drinks. The "Man Sized" drinks are only $5.00. Less expensive than most I've been to.
    :cheers:
