bye bye gen2....hello voodooblue gen3

sad to say, my taco decided to over stretch its timing chain....it been an issue for over a year when I got a p0022 code (jan 2020ish) with 363k miles at the time

the code lasted for 5 mins, went away, then never re-appeared
I did remove & replace the oil control valve filters in the summer of 2020
(found them totally clean/ no sludge)

the truck drove fine until about 10 days ago
(I currently have 398k miles on her) when I started to hear
a lot of strange noises & occasional backfiring
also I have a pending p0022 code now

Im either going to sell the truck as whole with the issue disclosed to potential buyer
or most likely part out the truck (plan to start a 'part out' thread tomorrow)

I am ready to move on to bigger & better taco moments,
voodoo blue moments to be precise


to all those who were following along in my high mileage journey-
sad to say the party is over for me....lol
it was fun pushing an auto to nearly 400k!
once in a life time experience
I doubt I will ever drive that many miles on the same auto again
my 2013 gen2 was the best automobile Ive ever owned
go tacoma's & go toyoda's!
we love it

 

Not just a truck but a friend when you've put that many miles on it. But he'll yeah on the Voodoo Blue gen 3 congrats!

 

thanks!
I put down a deposit today....voodoo blue is hard to get, Im in the holding pattern now
might be a month or so before I get her

Good luck with the new truck and wow you drive 50,000 miles a year , that's a lot .

 

thanks yo!
