Failed engine valve?

Not sure if it’s been covered already, I follow this person on IG. Took a screen shot of her post explaining what happened to her taco at 150k miles. Seems like one of the valves failed, along with the transfer case.

150k miles of constant abuse is pretty good, but definitely expected a bit more though. I believe I’ve seen a few with valve issues and there’s also a few that have grenaded at an incline. As the tacos age, it’ll be interesting to see what failures become a common issue for those that wheel their rig.

 

No such thing as a phantom code. Gotta consider the source.

 

2nd genners are on their way.

 

With their failing head gaskets?

 

Well and frames…

 

Don't forget air injection pumps...

 

But its a proper truck engine…

 

Lol. pre-emptive whataboutism

 

I own both, so all the shit talking was against myself as well it seems

 

Yes I know


Hey at least you can laugh about it. Others, not so much haha.

 

My truck needed all the valves and a head replaced at 26.5K, under warranty of course. At around 41K, lost an O2 sensor on the same side the head was replaced on. Toyota couldn't (wouldn't?) blame it on the warranty work so I had to pay out $450.

Made me a bit boo boo lipped since this is my 3rd Tacoma and the first with problems, but I still love her and always will.

 

Damn, what year is your truck?

 

One in my avatar, 2018.

To be fair, only a set of bad valves came up during diagnosis so they pretty much replaced them all to be safe.

 

Damm!!! So today my 2018 with 49k miles the check engine light pop with P11EC.. Is there a slight chance is not this freaking valve 1 leak?

 

Third gen frame will be the same. Give it a few years more.

 

What are the symptoms?

 

You’ll see. I’ll keep your cute GIF bookmarked for that day.

 

No symptoms. It just pop i i used my pocket scanner!!
Thanks in advance!!

 

Thank you sir.
