The “My Back Hurts” Thread

Umm sir, that don’t look right.

 

Special mod for air flow

 

Might have a blown head gasket yaaaaay

 

V8 swap time

 

I have tried to find out in the past if the 4.7 tundra uses the same trans and I think it does

 

I couldn’t do the wires i suck with that stuff

 

2j bolts up to the r150 I think lol

 

I think it’s a a350 trans not whatever that one is for

 

No exhaust fumes in the coolant, going to Toyota to get looked at before I start ripping shit up

 

What makes you think it’s a blown head gasket?

 

It is an 06, seems to be a thing for 05/06. Mine also has 225k miles. Kinda got spooked when it happened because how many others there are with the problem

 

Oh second gen...pos

 

When what happened? Are you loosing coolant? Running hot? White smoke from exhaust?

 

Missing coolant then overheated when I stopped after a 3 hour drive

 

Interesting, have you done a pressure check on the coolant system? Top it off and do a pressure check, you’ll either visually see a leak of coolant or if you lose pressure without a visual leak it’s likely a head gasket failure.

 

It’s at Toyota right now getting a diagnosis so I’ll see what they have to say

 

I took it into Toyota for its appointment at 1pm, they said they would have an update around 5. Do y’all really think they need 4 hours to look over the cooling system or are the just bullshitin around?

 

To properly diagnose 2-3 hours wouldn’t be unheard of, it takes all of 5 minutes to do a coolant system pressure test and check for obvious leaks.

 

Water pump and thermostat. Big relief it’s not the head gasket
