NW WA Meet / BS Thread

Well shit. Didn’t know parts stores don’t loan out scanners. Anyone in SE king county have a scanner I can borrow?

 

How SE, I'm in Kent?

Parts stores will run the codes for you. Were you not in the rig you wanted to test?

EDIT: apparently I'm in SW king county... lol.

I've been using this since 2019 best scanner i have ever owned. I am in lake tapps if you need to borrow it.

 

I’m in maple valley, like 20 min away. I ended up just buying a cheaper one for 60 bucks from NAPA. My Tacoma doesn’t want to start and not sure why. Could be a blow fuse, missing ground or something else. Just put my truck back together and trying to try it aligned tomorrow morning,

 

There was a guy having all kinds of running issues on his 3rd Gen. After a long while searching around, he found the ground on the transmission was loose. Fixed everything.

 

Didn’t throw any codes when I ran the scanner but I might have solved it. Was missing one connector from the harness in the driver side. It actually tried to crank but sounded like it didn’t have enough juice. I had the battery on a tender most of the time it was out of the truck but not the last 2 days or so when we were welding it up. I tried jumping it from my wife’s car but it was acting all weird. Threw the tender back on and I’ll try again tonight.

Total PITA to properly run 37s ugh.

 

I have a $20 version and free phone app, has been working for years and years lol

 

You know I realized I used to have one but it was compatible only with android and I have iPhone now.

Got her running again!
