2017 Tacoma dying at 177k miles

Exactly my thoughts. I was expecting to see a truck actually dying at 177k miles, which i was very curious to see.

 

Toyotas never die, they just rust away.

 

Exactly why i was super curious to see this. But instead, i got super disappointed on a friday at TW

 

I was honestly hoping to see a rod through the block or something. We all feel let down.

 

well fuck. All we can do is hit the bottle now...

 

That monkey is probably how @stun gun feels because he cant type anything anymore, very sad story actually. Was great fun with stun gun.

 

I'm seaching in vain for a kayak so I can paddle myself away from the internet.

 

I thought I heard it was the machine that applies rtv to the cover, not putting enough. I don't see how Their explanation would apply. The plenum is plastic and it seals.

 

good one man haha

 

Wut

 

But, but, that new truck smell! LOL!

 

just repeating what my dealer said. They’ve apparently done quite a few of them on the 3.5’s in all the vehicles they come in.

honeslty it cant be harder than doing a timing belt replacement in the older 4.7’s...it’s just taking shit apart in the front of the engine.

 

sarcasm sir

 

Here's some insight

Damn makes 4K seem reasonable

 

A looooot of work. That guy looks like he knows what he's doing, what the next step Is, has all the tools, etc. Imagine going into it blind, like having to solve each little "issue" right as it comes up. Would take an eternity!

 

A little of this with very fill up as well.

 

Texaco brand?! pfft weak...

I use the canadian brand, much better.

 

Add a catch can and 2" lift and u won't need to add this anymore. Trick meema taught me when I was a wee one.

 

But this does the carb and does a tune up at the same time. Clean carbs and a proper tune are key to stop these new Toyota’s from dying at 177k.
