Nova Scotia BS Thread

Only Truck related thing I did yesterday for Canada Day was wash it, and the wife's Corolla. Got a bit of dirt on it on Saturday looking at some cottage lots.

It's funny that I hate to see it dirty, but soon as it's clean I want to get it dirty....

 

Do you guys actually just meet up outside Tim Horton's and sit and talk about Tacomas?

Sounds like a good time.

 

I have nothing going on this week, I hope to get to the coffee meetup.

 

Inside... outside, whatever the weather allows, but yes. and Yes it is a good time, Come join us!

do it!

as for doing things to the truck, I put some all-thread in the back on Monday so I could properly hang @TacoMitch93 old tranny up to drain. that's about it for me. I spent the weekend entertaining the kiddo's.

oh and my Fan speed broke, does that count as doing something? only works on High now. I was able to get it working last time by cleaning the contacts, but I may have to go the upgrade/replacement route this time depending on how bad the connector is looking.

 

Sure, when?

 

how about Wednesday night
9pm - Timmies at Forest Hills and Portland ( beside the CDN tire on forest hills )

we can all try and park next to the fence. who's in?

 

I think I'll be able to make it!

 

I should be able to stay sober this time!

 

For the fan speed thing , on my first Gen when it “ quit working “ on me after reading a on TW figured out how to clean it out and take it a part I got frustrated with it and I punched it and it started working again

 

After a weekend trip to NB i now have to figure out why my gas milage is complete crap. 300kms a tank at best..fml

 

V6 or 4 banger

 

V6 6speed. Normally i get 450ish a tank but this 300 is killing me.

 

Bad wheel bearing or stuck caliper?

Engine air filter?

Forgetting to use 6th?

 

I think my TPMS light finally gave up telling me my tire pressures are low... Thank goodness. Now just gotta take care of the misfire and I'll have a clean cluster once again

 

Going to be in Halifax next weekend if anyone is up for a trail run / meet and greet let's get something on the go. Also @D2. Have you dropped your Centre bearing in yet?

 

Warped rotors but ive had that for almost 2 years now.

Filter was clean, only shift out of 6th for hills on the highway.

 

How are your wheel bearings? I notice a significant increase in drag when mine are on their way out.

When was the last time you serviced your brakes? Was it easy to push the pistons back in the caliper? (when you push one back, another should pop out).

Have you had your drums apart lately? Ebrake sticking on?

Throwing any codes?

 

The 7th and 8th you'll be here?

 

It's the resistor. They are a little fussy to get to, helps if you have teeny tiny little fingers.

 

I should be there.
