Austin Area TW Chapter (all gens welcome, even T4Rs; heck, just make it a Toyota and we're good)

I wasn't notified either. No spots, nothing. I think there's something wrong with the diffs on many of the trucks in my manufacturing group and they are figuring out the fix.

I went in for a Toyotacare oil change, and my life has been turned upside down!

 

You going to be at C&C tomorrow? I have a torque wrench I can bring if needs be

 

anybody going to C&C?

 

I was planning on it but was thawarted when I found out I had the kids to myself this weekend. Making a 2 hour drive and getting there early enough with a 5yo and 2yo is next to impossible. I'd like to do HF around noon but I might end up dedicating the day to some garage organization

 

Check @Misplaced Nebraskan post a couple pages back, I believe there is about 15 or so on the list @FindFalke

 

ahh

 

I can already smell the bacon!

 

Hey guys, so I messed up real good, I'm working at this youth camp outside of kerrville, and long story short I left my truck on and running for roughly 19 hours, one of the stupidest moments of my life, and just assumed my keys were in my cabin. The battery is obviously dead, oil light is on, and the truck won't start. We tried jumping it so I'm debating getting new oil. We don't have service and civilization is about 45 minutes away so I'm kinda sol in terms of research on what to do except on saturdays which are my off days.new oil? New battery? Serious problem? Losing service very soon so need help ASAP. Thanks y'all

 

Needs to be put on a trickle charger to slowly recharge - there isn't enough there to jump. You might be able to get enough draw by just leaving it connected to the other vehicle for 15 minutes, but understand it's really hard to jump from a total drain. After it is recharged, you still might need a new battery. Autozone has the tools to tell.

I'd pop out to help you but I'm sitting in a hospital in Austin with a family member. Hope you can get help soon!

 

There's a guy here with one of those,so that's dope. And for the oil light?
Thanks man.

 

Leaving it running probably threw your pumps off a bit. Check it and if it looks level, I'd get her started, long recharge like Capt suggested, then report back once you take it around the block

 

Not sure. Have you checked your oil level? I wouldn't think you'd have burned any, but I can't assume that.

 

I'll do that, thanks yall. I'll try and get some service and let y'all know

 

Thanks @Texoma for an awesome, educational, and fun day of watching you wrench. I know you did most of the heavy lifting, but installing those splash guards was all I could muster!! The truck rides so freaking great!!! It absorbs so much of the roads variances. I can't wait to wheel this bitch now!






Edit: oh, still waiting for sliders. Then let's really wheel! Lololol

 

First time I've not gone with a wide tire. Liking it so far. Still doesn't look too skinny on this truck though.


I'll dig through the past few pages and update the C&C post here in a few so we can get a final idea.

 

Looks like my setup, but my Foxs look just like your ADS. Killer setup man looks good!

Any update? I'm in Boerne so I'm not terribly far. I have a battery starter (that I've never used and have no idea what kind of condition it's in or how it's used) and some shitty jumper cables. I assume you ran out of gas... Wouldn't that stall the engine and all the parts, oil pump included? I'll check back in periodically

 

Even if I could go...I HAVE NO TRUCK!!

Fucking Toyota.

Still mad that they bogarted my wheels.

 

What happened?! Rear diff?
