    Probably just moisture buildup from not driving it much

    That’s what I’m guessing, trucks idling/ taking a tiny bit rough and I didn’t know if a blown head gasket would cause that.


    I’m guessing old wires/ plugs, maybe a dirty maf. will investigate later.

    Looks like a 2nd gen oil cap after its sat for any length of time.

    Id say its fine. Youd have other issues going on if it was a HG issue.

    I mean a blown or leaky head gasket could also be the cause of that milky sludge under the cap but I'd imagine you'd have other signs as well...overheating, missing coolant etc.

    Running rough could be any number of things but could always do a compression test to verify if you're worried it's a blown head gasket.

    Given the climate you live in though and the short trips I'd bet it's just moisture buildup

    Not really worried, I knew milky oil was a sign.

    Off to check radiator and dipstick again.

    Coolants nice and red,

    maybe the trucks suffocating, air filters not fine.

    Don't go off mileage if you wheel a lot. Check them before and after every trip. They don't last more than 10k for me.

    My others did not either, but if you ask for the set that has the bolts included you can source it. I was in a rush and got lucky there was one dealership w lbj’s in stock in san diego.

    Just thread some bailing wire through the bolt holes and you'll be ok ;)

    I got my OEM bolts through Toyotapartsdeal, IIRC they came within a couple days

    Nice spam.

    Also, if I’m a vlogger/blogger like you, do I suddenly become incapable of helping myself and resorting to demanding free shit from vendors?

    More than likely yes, just condensation mixed in. Run a 20 minutes highway run at like 2500 rpm or above. You wanna cook all that moisture right out of that oil
