New England B.S. Thread

hopefully the money is good... couldnt pay me enough to do claims!

 

I've learned "burn out" is definitely a real thing and happens to even the most optimistic person.

A few of my co-workers made the switch. Some love it and some hate it. Need a few more years experience before I consider that. I was an EMT Basic for four years and have been a Paramedic for 2.5 years so far.

Funny you mention that. I thought the same thing at first! I got into EMS in order to apply for PA school. Ended up getting in at Northeastern and found out that wasn't for me. The part about EMS that I love is that you're only with a patient for 2 hours tops. The thought of taking care of someone for possibly months or years did not appeal to me. Ended up dropping out of PA school and became a Paramedic.

I think I want to use my BS in Environmental Science and maybe become an EPO or Game Warden. We shall see. I don't hate my job right now but it's wearing on me. The one thing I can't complain about is the schedule. I work two 24 hr shifts so I have 5 days off a week

 

You make it possible for me to get a pay check from my company. Thank you!!

 

Good enough..can always be better of course. I started in Member Services 12 years ago and worked up the ladder. Being pretty much left alone all day is nice though. Much as I love cars I'm not in the shape to be working on them for a living.

 

And you care for our members..right back at ya

 

Satoshi is definitely my next mod! Thank you Jon for letting me mess around with the scraps from your satoshi project!

I'm doing a gloss black satoshi lip on my red truck, whit a white or red FJ emblem of course! Can't wait

 

hey all - stupid quick question so I can move on... but going to do the diffs and TC soon - almost at 60k... 2010 TRD sport - my question is I can just use diff oil with no LSD additive because it is not a true LSD? correct?

 

How is that confusing??

 

incorrect, it is a true LSD.

 

ok - so use 4oz of additive? I saw some using acdelco?

 

4oz is right, not sure what to use, mine doesnt have it

the trucks that dont have the tru LSD are the sr5's and base models. they use the brakes to simulate lsd. the sports have a real lsd.

 

cool - thanks for the clarification... after looking at 20 threads and god knows who really knows and who is just throwing crap out there I was getting annoyed...

 

hahhaha i hear ya!

if you want a factory service manual i have one saved to my dropbox i can either email you or share it to your dropbox. let me know.

 

I thought the true LSDs stopped in 2008, 2009+ includes A-LSD which uses the brakes to simulate a LSD.

 

uh oh... is that true?

 

my understanding was that the sports have true LSD.... who would pay so much more money for just a hood scoop if all trucks after 09 have it....

 

"For 2009 safety features were added and the Tacoma no longer offers a mechanical limited slip differential rather an open differential which uses individual wheel braking to simulate a mechanical LSD or "Auto-LSD"." - Wikipedia

 

oh wow.. so there really is only one TRD model after 2008

 

I do have the original window stick from PO... I just pulled it out and it said under standard options:
Automatic limited Slip Differential (auto LSD)

 

Well an off-road model should still have the locker, where as the regular SR5 might not.
