PennSilverTaco's "Perfect 5-Lug Regular Cab" Build, Aspergers, and General BS MegaThread!

@PennSilverTaco

Found the perfect truck for you. Don’t worry about the location.

The truck isn’t the only thing “Fully Loaded”.

 

Ha. Only thing that makes sense is his wife said “list your truck for sale.” But he doesn’t wanna sell.

Or he’s higher than a kite. It is LA.

 

Fuck is a "torneau cover"?

 

Expired beer; I poured the beer out and ziptied the can to the zombie's bloody stump...

 

Pretty sure this isn't normal...

 

What temp is it there?

 

But the engine was still somewhat warm despite sitting out in the parking lot while we saw Halloween Ends (About two and a half hours). The heater even blew warm after sitting that long...

 

Prob would be still a little warm, steam might not be normal, did you notice if other cars were showing exhaust steam?

 

My friend owns that blue Kia, and I didn't think to check. It went away once I started driving...

 

@wilcam47

I'm thinking the cylinder head might be cracked. I was having problems with misfiring earlier this year...

 

Most likely not. It takes a lot to crack them

 

So you're thinking that I didn't warp the cylinder head, either?

 

On another note, my truck never fully "overheated", like ever. A few times in June, July, August, and September, the needle went to near the top but would immediately come back down to normal temperature. At the Wawa 10 miles from my house in September, the needle went to literally just below the red zone and stayed there, so I freaked out and shut off the engine; I stayed at the Wawa for about 45 minutes until it cooled down, and then when I drove it home, the needle would start to rise whenever I was at a red light. The needle has not risen once since that one time in Gwyn's driveway on October 9th...

And I never got a warning light, or a CEL from my current head gasket issue. My truck passed Pennsylvania's fairly strict emissions test five days before overheating. My CEL has come on before, but always for stupid reasons...

The very first time was in September 2015 when I disconnected my horn, the second time was in October 2021 when my late friend Jim helped me replace the spark plugs, the third time was sometime in early 2022 when one of the oxygen sensors failed; I had both of them replaced because I did not know which one had failed...

On another note, when Jim helped me replace the spark plugs, it was the result of disconnected something and not the the result of anything either of us did wrong. I drove the truck to my mechanic Pete immediately after Jim and I put things back together, and all he had to do was plug an OBD scanner in to make it go away. He didn't even charge me anything!
