So sad....

Rip

 

I don't know man, that's a Yota. I can fix it.

 

True.

 

What's sad is that's only 1 of probably thousands of Tacoma in that same situation down in southeast Texas

 

The way its positioned I'll bet the engine is fine. If whoever owns it can get it dried out 100% before ever turning the ignition on, i'll bet it stands a chance of being derivable.

 

Doubt it, especially if it's been sitting in water for a long time which most of Houston is expected to be.

 

Easy fix, brand new engine & hopefully that's fresh water.

 

It's probably a mix of fresh water, sewage, and who knows what else.

Just buy a new Tacoma. Not worth salvaging. You ever try to get sewage out of seats, carpet, that has been stewing for days?

 

It will make a good donor.

 

Rip the guts out of it, cage it, sas, and make a rock crawler

 

Fact.

Yes. If you rip out all the non-essential electronics i'll bet this truck works just fine.

 

I'm sure it does. Just what I would personally do.

 

Sad indeed.

I read an article that stated 500,000 automobiles will be water damaged in the Houston area due to Harvey. The salvage yards will be full of available parts.

 

I plan on scoring some good stuff soon

 

Damn that sucks.

 

I just want to score a hood.

 

Are you sure that's a Tacoma?? Lousy picture aside, I'm not convinced...

 

This is my plan as well. Find a cheap flooded truck and build 'er up.

Here is a screen shot of my intercooler, from the video. The mist alone, slowly filled up the intercooler, until the engine starved for air. Sunday night, during the extremely heavy rain, making a trip to and from Cypress.



One cylinder had a little water in it. Spark plug all out. Cranked until all of the water was out, then changed the oil three times.

If I can get mine running, then the one in the OP can be saved as well.
