Looks odd but I don't hate it

I wouldn't be able to pull off a clean job like that

 

This Xterra is kind of an odd duck. It runs super smooth and stays nice and cool after replacing the rad cap and topping off the coolant, but I hear gurgling after stopping, and saw bubbles in the overflow tank.

 

Raise the rpm's by opening the throttle body - if it bubbles then oof

Unless it just has a bunch of air in the system still?

 

my screeeeech still has not been located; it was not any of the many little things fixed...I wouldn't even have cared which fixed it.

It's getting warmer out and it's easier to make it "do it". It almost seems like throttle body or idfk.

 

Yea I thought maybe it’s just burping itself

 

The mechanic also said the cooling system held pressure when he tested it

 

When a cooling system is opened where air can be introduced, you would need to burp the system.

Weird that it held pressure, but you specifically said it was smoking when you overheated.

That's what the young generation would call 'sus'

 

So I take it the exhaust both isn't smoking or smell sweet at all right? You can actually catch a whiff of it if it's burning coolant although you don't want to stand behind the exhaust pipe breathing it in for long.

Can normally smell it off your hand if you put your hand over the exhaust pipe.

 

I thought I got a whiff of sweetness when I started it up at first, but idk it smells kinda normal now

 

It’s just weird that it runs so good otherwise

 

Originally she was supposed to be picked up this last Monday

Didn't matter cause we all loved her company



But I got the call earlier and they said they'll be picking her up this Monday or Tuesday

 

one of us, one of us -- she wants to stay!!

 

Not in the books, not for several months which is why I gave up our name/number only to volunteer as a foster.

 

I know -- this is why I think I could foster, but probably wouldn't be able to.

 

Interesting, apparently the dude I helped earlier on video chat is some Youtuber

Has an '83 Sunrader on 35's?

 

Now this is a unique build.

Interesting new appearance at the junkyard this week. Listed as a 1985 Toyota Pickup. I count 5 lugs, so I guess it's more of a desert runner than a crawler?

Picture is from the junkyard website, I haven't seen it up close.

 

Yep

But it was weird that he made sure to bring it up

 

I hate that video title
Its not 750hp its under 300, its just a hypothetically 750hp capable block

Hes got some cool stuff though
