Wisconsin Tacomas and bad financial advice with vacuum talk

What's going on?
Carlos needs pointers on getting his wheels off the ground? (That's what I read)
I may be able to help.

 

That's on road driving.

 

aaand.....?

 

So @Camerasandcoffee and @OldSchlPunk and @bkhlrTaco's and any others who had weird starting issues after Kentucky... are the issues gone or still occurring? My truck has been real weird the last few days. I push the start button and hear a click and the starter doesn't kick on until several seconds later, and sometimes not at all for a couple tries. Is this the same issue you guys had?

I decided to hook up my Noco Genius 2 to my AGM battery and found it was very low. Charged it up overnight, but on start this morning it was the same with a 3-4 second delay before the starter kicked on. I know I should check connections next, but I'm sitting at my desk at work now. What did you guys do to resolve your issues?

 

That's what mine's doing. It comes and goes. Seems that rain/humidity brings it on.

 

It was doing good for several days.
I was staying quiet, trying not to jynx myself.
I was hoping to be the one who could laugh at all of you with the starter problems but those exact issues still remain.

I had a crank but no start, today.

Haven't heard from @JOHNNYPICKLES since.
He's either in the clear or cursing his neighbors to the north.

 

Well I guess I'm glad my issue isn't unique. One of us has to figure this out eventually, right? Have you guys checked your battery output?

 

I put mine on the charger. It initially said 83% and 12.6V.

My next thought. (that I don't want to do)
Is pull the starter and clean the contacts).

 

Yeah man, I’m not crazy! Lol

 

We're not alone here.

Think I'm gonna get some contact cleaner on my lunch break.

 

I seem to remember Pat @pearing had an issue last year. What say you, Pat?

 

Looks like we're headed in the right direction.

 

Does he have a 4Runner?

You'll get the best articulation by leaving your rear sway bar on but your front off.

 

Had a problem this year too. SecondGenBestGen dried out and works great. Different motor than the 3rd gens right?

 

For some reason I thought the 3rd gen starter was on the upper backside of the engine. Maybe the 1st gen was....Idk, but I redact my statement that we weren't starter deep....
We were definitely starter deep.

 

Should have done a starter relocate when you did your diff breathers

 

If he had a manual he could push start it

 

Maybe they make a conversion so you can start it with an impact like they do race cars
