    Not sure how to check if that's leaking. But since I've replaced the radiator everything is running smoothly. But I totally know what you mean. I saw that and was convinced it was the end for my truck.

    It's less Tacoma and more mod

    One of my personal favorites and a fun watch too...

    That's what I thought. It looks like the milkshake you get when motor oil and coolant mix.

    Or just combustion gasses, not necessarily oil. It smelled so bad too.

    Cust refused a new radiator so he did what he could within the time he quoted the customer to hopefully prolong the life of the thing. But yeah gotta imagine all the coolant jacket spaces and lines are fucked just as badly as that neck and upper tank.

    I feel incredibly stupid... I was looking at the engine just now before I went to dinner with my girlfriend and I noticed the throttle body gasket itsnt on correctly which I assume is why the truck is throwing the P0171 :anonymous:

    In a world of shitty techs, he's the type of guy I'd let work on my stuff. He went above and beyond and trying to get all that crap out of the cooling system. No ghetto rigs on that channel

    Reserected from the dead.
    Y out better check your transmission fluid. Hopefully you did not get coolant into your transmission fluid.

    Look up "pink milkshake".

    White looks really good on the older style gauges too, blue was too harsh I thought.
