60+ year old thread.

Well the '12 Taco I picked up as a wreck is coming along. This is the splice and the spring perch from the wrecking yard.



The driveshaft was hanging free from the impact to the differential and I was worried that it would be bent. After putting the frame/perch back together I jacked up the rear end on stands and took the speed up to eighty. There wasn't any vibration so I guess I'm good to go there. That's a relief.

 

A motor? :shrug:

Me too... After all, by weight and volume my diet is plant based.

 

Is that a line to an OEM oil cooler? did it have a tow package? OEM cam with oil cooler. Dealer versions of tow package mostly did NOT!

 

The lines go to the housing that the upper radiator hose attaches to (thermostat housing?) and the other down below it goes to something just right of where the lower hose attaches to the engine.

 

Then I am probably not right.

 

It’s a sandwich plate for coolant to run through. It will both heat up your oil on cold starts and help prevent excessive oil temperatures but it’s not a true oil cooler even though Toyota probably calls it that. This is standard equipment for the factory tow package

 

Thanks. I've been a little surprised by the numbers of differences between my same year model trucks.

 

Afternoon everyone,

Well we were supposed to get between 1-3 inches starting about now. It has been snowing since 0900 and already have about 5 inches (by my gage) and it is still coming down and bulk of the storm isn't even here yet. Guess what I will be doing in the morning early - PLOWING - already swept the stairs twice to keep up.

No complaining - we need it bad up here, it is just how far off the weather folks can be concerning our area.

 

Just got the call.
Monday night I get the ol stab and jab..

 

HA! Write that down, I was accidently right for once. I have the "dealer" version, and you don't get that. I've seen it on ONE other truck, and I remembered right!

 

You'll be fine!



























and we will always know where you are!

 

I finally found a place that will let me get stuck. It’s 2 hours away and in another state! PA oh PA wtf are you doing.

 

My third eye is growing in back! Is that Hindsight?

 

Good Luck. make a day of it and go shopping

 

I believe you are correct

 

Wow, twice in a day. Better buy a lottery ticket tomorrow!
Or just answer all the PCH emails tonight!

 

Good morning everyone!!! Breezy and 15 here this morning. It was a bit chilly taking the dogs out. Even they didn't hang around out there.

Lynn took her final exam to complete the PA Master Gardner's certification program last night. She finished the 100 question test in 15 minutes and even went back to review 3 questions she wanted to re-check. Then we went out to dinner at the college's student-run restaurant for a late dinner. Some wine, some bourbon and fantastic food. We are booked to go to the restaurant every week through mid-April now.

Quiet day for me - need to ship some packages...and that's about it. I'm sure something else will come up

Oh, it's Friday!!

Be safe and stay warm.

 

Wish her good luck on her test.

Hope your eye is doing well
