2012 Shut off on freeway

Yikes... Sorry But am i not allowed to have my own opinion? I read all of the pages and it just didn't make any sense... maybe you haven't spent the time reading, nothing makes sense... and that's just my opinion Gzz

 

The engine was making noise before I pulled off the freeway, a crackling sound, my girlfriend described it as "pop rocks" under the hood

 

And it was probably 54 in the area I was at

 

and no, Hawaii doesn't get to 60 - 70 during the day

we are in the 80's most of the time..

 

maybe the kid isnt as mechanically inclined as we are, no reason to make fun of him. i never do this soap box shit but i know if my new '12 took a shit id be pissed and the last thing id wanna hear is a bunch of keyboard cowboys knocking me.

 

i know, i used to live on kwajalein. in the states high 60's is a gorgeous windows down kind of day lol

 

ya thats what i though, but if you read a few pages back, he says he always works on his own truck, oil changes, etc.... so one would assume he would know what colors fluids are

That is the only reason why i said are you really for real...

If i am wrong about all of this, sorry , but like i said, we all have our opinions :/

 

Dude... heater weather is like 40-50 over here:roll eyes: Anything over that is roll the window down weather...

 

I would die if i lived where its that cold LOL... Hawaii ruined me.....

 

^^ this

There is no way i would have the heat on if it were 60-70 deg out... I usually don't even have the heat on if it is 45 out

why is it so hard for people to believe that sometimes shit happens??

OP, I hope everything works out well for ya!

 

i gotcha, im just saying i dont think the kids has earned a flaming yet. i had a motor mount break on my t100 and put a pin hole in the oil filter. it was at night, i never saw smoke or smelled oil then i heard the valves start ticking and i shut it down immediately. shit happens that blows your mind sometimes

 

LOL I here ya I grew up in the northeast so after the winter... once it got above 30 it was t-shirt and shorts weather. Ever since i moved to the south in 05' anything below 50 I'm like f#*& it cold, yet i refuse to turn the heat up, on principle...

 

LOL, I was thinking of moving to AZ, but i think the summer heat would be too much for me... 2 years we are moving someplace just not sure where yet..

We went to Las Vegas this time last year, oh god, it was so cold.... and other people there were walking around in shorts and short dresses... we had like two pairs of jeans on and sweatshirt, jacket lol and still freezing

 

Btw I wasn't complaining in this post just confused as to what originally happened to my truck. Sorry I'm not a master mechanic guys :/ just learning as I go.

 

Also sorry for the confusion I am colorblind so I thought the pink fluid was red. It was on blacktop

 

Oh holy shit.....bad news bears sir. Hope it ends up ok and the dealer takes care of you.

OP ... You have kept your cool on this thread. Always try to keep your cool on this forum as there will always be those who test you ... like anywhere in life.

The things said in a thread can NOT be gauged very well because you can't hear the voice inflection or see the body language. And many will say things on here that they would not say face to face.

Again, it just sounds like you had a weird situation that can't be explained in short sentences, without being there in person and experiencing it.

Good luck with your situation, especially the engine.

who has their heater on at 60-70 degrees outside temperature

 

I drive with the windows half down in weather like that thinking...."Fuck yeah, shit's free"
I'm used to having to run the AC like crazy all summer.

 

we have to run the ac all day everyday...
