Wisconsin Tacomas and bad financial advice

I replaced the door and dash speakers with a set of JL c1-690s. Definitely a noticeable improvement over the stock flimsy speakers, and they weren't too expensive either.

If you're not going to add an amplifier, look for speakers with a higher efficiency (usually labeled as "SPL, 1 Watt, 1 meter )rating.

 

That seems weird. I could see some running out if you had pulled it up on ramps due to the angle. But, the hissing seems unusual to me. But, if it was hot, maybe it's not that weird.

 

Hissing tells me that it built pressure most likely through heat. Your breather might also be clogged or crimped, might be worth checking out.

@patfl1 whatcha getting?

 

‘14 manual. Frame looks great, untreated low miles and garage kept

suggested i pull over the info from thread above, thanks for any input:

Promise I looked first, nothing through Jan of 2020.

Flying in to purchase, need a pre purchase inspection …and if all good some fluids changed before the drive home.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

thanks,

 

@Supr4Lo and @rockindoc75 are in the Green Bay area. You guys know any good mechanics/shops?

 

Jason's closer to Milwaukee than GB.

 

Really? I always thought he was closer to Green Bay.

 

Sheboygan must be an hour to GB, probably half that to Milwaukee.

 

Sheboygan is closer to 11/2hrs to GB

 

It's about halfway between. But, it's closer to Green Bay than I am.

 

You may be closer. As I re-think it, Manitowoc is about 45 minutes to GB and Sheboygan is probably a half hour or so to Manitowoc.

 

Only if you drive like a granny. Google says 1 hour, 3 minutes. And, just under an hour to Milwaukee.

 

Well, my reference was a bunch of years doing that road with 18 (governed) wheels.

 

What are they governed at? I swear I have seen some trucks going like 80 on the way down to Florida sometimes. That seems ridiculously fast for an 18 wheeler.

Edit: ordinarily, it seems like they are going around 70, tops.

 

I haven't been to a shop since my warranty expired. Just been trying to do my own maintenance. There is a DIY shop that just opened up with tool and lifts, if that's another route you would be interested in?

 

And we all know google is never wrong!!!!!!!!
