    The way I'm reading the TSB docs, installation of either of those leads to having the same version of ECU code installed, specifically 8966304B0400. When I went through the process of setting up OVTune, that is exactly what it said I had. AFAIK, that is the latest ECU code available for my truck.

    So I'm not quite following what you're trying to say here.

    A quality place will recharge the system with dye. If you have that there is a possibility of finding the leak. A leak that takes a year to get low enough to require a recharge will be really hard to find though.

    Wife was shopping for a new RAV4, and started emailing dealers that had the one she wanted to start negotiating pricing. Both Stevenson dealerships basically said, "Here's our price, take it or leave it", even after she quoted other dealers offering the EXACT same car for $3-4k less. We chose the "Leave it" option.
    If they want to keep using the played out, "We don't negotiate until you're on site" bullshite, that's their business. Doesn't mean customers want to play.

    Did she find one?
    If so, which dealership?
    If not, I had a great experience with Austin at Groove buying my Tacoma as well as my wife's Highlander.

    I did the same when getting my Tacoma! I had no desire to drive all over the state, the follow up emails after I got the Taco were fun to reply to

    You should give HM Brown a try, way better than any dealership and first offer was $1K below the lowest price on truecar

    Oh, yes. Flows are sitting at 400 cfs today. I was there 2 weeks ago when it was 500 cfs and the water was deep and fast. 400 will be just right for floating.

    Ended up at Larry Miller in Boulder. Still spent too much time there, but that was our fault for wanting to trade in my old Subaru and using Toyota to finance and get the $1k rebate.
    Having to test drive a second car added to the time as well. Heading back to the lot when test driving the first one, and turned on the heater. In addition to hot air, there was also a burning electrical smell. Luckily they had 2 more of the exact same trim/color on the lot.

    Probably done buying new cars for this lifetime, but will keep that in mind just in case.

    Agreed. I work in computer software...best practice is not to install one-off fixes unless the symptoms are showing. Any time code is altered there are always down stream effects that can't be predicted, or thoroughly tested.

    As a hike? Views are nice, but there are some prettier ones. Are you in to class 3/4 scrambling at all? If so, would recommend Helen and/or Father Dyer just south of there, adding on Crystal and Peak 10.

    Well, now you know a letter to the owner telling them their agent is screwing them over would be pointless. :D I called that one though. FYI, you can go here: https://www.sos.state.co.us/biz/BusinessEntityCriteriaExt.do and put in a company name to try and check for related party type information. Doesn't always work, as sometimes the company is registered in another state or has someone else as agent or has some 'registered agent' company. Wonder if it's the same jackass who was trying to screw over the FS getting a landswap for riverside property in exchange for the mining claim he had on Wilson that closed access to it. Interesting about the non-permitted systems though. Hope the county found it as interesting. BTW, did the listing indicate that the agent was in any way related to the seller? Because I thought that was kind of a legal requirement (to say nothing of misrepresenting a property as having features it doesn't, like septic). Sure would be a shame if that were legitimate grounds for a complaint to the board of realtors and some risk of his license.
