    That's nearly fuck it money building a PC unless you're the custom loop water cooling type or need the full setup with monitor an all... Is this for gaming or dev or rendering in any way? Mixed use? If doing gaming, what resolution and refresh you targeting?

    My only real critique of that build is I'd do Gigabyte Aorus Ultra 100x over Asus who has absolute shit customer service. I have the Z390 Ultra and it's been absolutely rock solid. I also find top end air cooling for the CPU superior to any AIO because I haven't had one last more than 3 years and the performance is nearly comparable. Problem is I'm talking Noctua D15 or Be Quiet Dark Rock Pro 4 and not the options they have that I'm not as sure would be comparable.

    Though really, Intel is supposedly releasing 11th gen in like 3 weeks so you might want to hold off if Intel is your preference over Ryzen 5000. It's going to be just as difficult to find as the stuff currently but at least then you'll get the performance gains.

    I had bought a ton of fluidfilm and used it on my saltwater above ground pool more than my vehicles like i had planned. How many 3rd gen owners coated their trucks underneath? maybe I should order another set of cans and go for it.

    Is the frame rusting still an issue for the latest model years or did they fix it at some point? Wondering if this is something I need to be concerned about.

    I have not and have been considering for quite some time now. I'd be up to driving to your place and covering costs to do so. Let me know.

    Evidently it is as there's a current campaign through Toyota to have rust proofing applied to the frame and if you so choose not to get it done after being notified it will void that part of the warranty. You will receive notification in the mail if your truck is part of the campaign. Once receiving that letter I think there's a two year window to get it done. I dropped mine off at Oursiman Chantilly Toyota, they gave me a loaner car for $5, and had it done by the end of the day. The entire process was super smooth and quick.

    I haven't seen anything yet from Toyota but I suspect they're targeting the older trucks first.

    On the 6th row of the first page it says "Certain 2011-2017 Tacoma." That's the only row I found a mention of frame corrosion resistant compound (CRC) application, unless I'm missing something.

    Thanks guys... i'll be giving Phil and Steve's a call on Monday. Hopefully one them can take care of me

    Changed the oil this morning and it seems like my HG is ready to go :frusty::frusty:

    I think I'm experiencing all of the classic signs of a HG leak:
    1. yellow gunk in oil cap
    2. losing coolant
    3. coolant leak behind water pump / thermostat (just did this repair 2 months ago too!)

    The gunk in the oil cap is just from condensation build up I believe. It can happen from short drives around town where the condensation doesn’t get burned off. It sounds like you just have a leak and it wasn’t done 100% correctly the first time with regards to the gasket. Hopefully not HG because that’s not a cheap job

    I definitely had rust showing in every crack and crevice of my frame before I traded mine in after two winters. Just surface rust but you think they would have figured out how to coat a frame by now. I would hope it rolls out to the new trucks but I personally hit all those places on my Gladiator myself as soon as I got it home... fortunately it never saw salt a day in its life so it's pristine coming into the land without rust.


    @EatSleepTacos is spot on... if it's just inside the cap, it's generally condensation that's built up inside the crankcase. Super common with the seasons change getting colder. If you just did the water pump, it's possible you got a bad part. I've definitely done my share of rework which is why if they weren't buying from the dealership or Napa's premium part, we didn't warranty the labor.

    Typically a HG will show air bubbles in the coolant, oil in coolant and/or water in the oil, a leak somewhere around the HG, or blue/white smoke - especially at startup. Sounds to me like you might want to re-check that water pump but you can always drain coolant and oil to see if you see anything abnormal.
