AZ BS Thread 4²0

Gotcha. Well there Is allot to see. Well those months would be like summer in portland temps. If you get up into flag sedona or show low then it will be snowing raining overcast for the most part. Good camping happens between march and end ish of june. Usually good weather no fire restrictions and all forest roads are open.

 

Have a buddy that is a master tech with Toyota that has a complete rebuilt 4.0 for sale if needed..

 

I will seriously keep this in mind dude.

Having a mechanic friend come out today and see if he can see what's up. Just hard to say right now, it's a mess in there

 

How many miles are on the motor? Doesn't seem like something you normally hear about a Toyota. I hope it's just something simple and easy for you to get fixed.

 

132k

Honestly I'm hoping it's not that mad. The motor never knocked or sounded off so fingers crossed right now that the oil pump took a shit or something.

 

I have my fingers and toes crossed for you brotha. Sucks you gotta be outside with it on the hottest weekend known to man. Good luck and keep us posted.

 

Did you tell him you vape?

 

Ok so here's my update so far...


Fingers crossed its not dead. ITS NOT MOTOR OIL. Thank gawd. I honestly thought that it was because it was sooooo dark, but it just didn't have the smell. Confirmed this this morning.

All other fluids are checked and seem fine, except for tranny fluid. Beginning to think that I may have blown a line going to the tranny as I have a tranny cooler with the tow package.

Still no official diagnosis, waiting for my friend to come over today and we will go from there.

 

Ps. I don't know it's tranny fluid for sure because we don't have a dipstick to check it. Not sure what else it could be though...

 

Just look for damaged lines and see where they lead.

 

:Thumbsup:

We will see what I can figure out

 

Im on my way

 

You have my number. If you need anything call me.

 

power steering is still full too?

 

the resi still looks like it is mostly full. But, i'm wondering if that is what it is and it ejected all of the fluid from the rack somehow...

honestly i'm guessing that it may just be the power steering pump. fingers crossed.

Going to pull a diagram for all the hoses and go out there and try to inspect the hose for damage. The pully on the pump does have like 1/2" of play in and out, so i'm guessing that thats whats going on...

@05TacoRunner Is a power steering pump something that i need to go oem with?

 

damn im good :lol: thats what i said last night after you told me you lost powersteering

 

I'm just happy its not oil. thank god. Need my buddy to come out and take a look and give me his opinion, then its time to order parts hopefully.

 

Oh shit I'm surrounded

 

I would get off the next exit and find a different route.
