Wisconsin Tacomas and bad financial advice

Smart ass on TW.
No way.

 

Better off a smart ass than a dumb ass!!!!

 

I've been known to do that also!

 

Finally wired up my stealth USB port behind the radio bezel. Turned out good. And since I was in the dash to tap power off of the cigarette lighter, I pulled that and added another USB port with a voltmeter.


Cleans up the dash a little.

 

@pearing Guessing you're aware of this up by you. Poor fella. Wonder if someone at the DNR or wildlife services would be able to tranquilize it and get that off...?

You'd think someone with a pellet gun could break that jar off of poor ol Pooh's head

 

Looked plastic to me. Probably one of those huge cheese puffs jugs. Eight days, he's probably getting pretty hungry.

 

I thought the same, plastic.

Not to mention thirsty.

 

Oooof!

 

Hopefully they can tranquilize it and get the jar off.

 

He's so exhausted by now you could probably walk up to him and pull it off.
Then run.....

 

I saved a deer once. Or at least gave it a chance.
Driving up to work one winter morning, still dark out, I see a deer laying on the sidewalk. Weird. Parked my truck and walked over towards it.
It tried standing up but it was on a patch of ice and couldn't get any footing to stand.
Something seemed off with its hip. Either it got smoked by a car or was numb from laying on the ice.
Anyhow, it let me wrap both my arms around it, pick it up and help it walk over to the woods.
Was walking a little funny but it walked away...
The End.

 

Brake weirdness continues. Front right feels like caliper isn’t even engaging and truck dives left. ABS is working/making noises. No lights on dash. Does this s couple times and when I mash pedal all seems to “pop” and clear up. Wtf is going on? This morning not as drastic but the ABS is working and things aren’t right on the right side again. Truck stops but a lot seems to be going on that isn’t quite right. Ideas?

 

I've always got ideas.
Pinched brake line somewhere?
Front right is where you changed the spindle....speaking from experience, is the axle nut tight?

When I did the ecgs. I tightened the axle nut tight. or so I thought.
Brakes got mushy...loose nut was causing the rotor to spread the pads apart while driving, so the 1st or 2nd brake attempt was all the way to the floor with little braking power.

 

Caliper slides, pins all greased and working?

Everything torqued down correctly? (Including axle nut)

Pinched line?

When's the last time your brakes were bled?

 

Sticky pistons in the caliper?

 

Might try changing the front brake lines. they look a bit old and crusty. been a couple years since I bled things up front. Look at it Monday when I get back.

 

I don't understand how you are having such troubles with a vehicle you pamper so much.
