What happened to the guy that fried his ECU?

Can't find that thread anywhere?

 

I think he had it scrubbed...

 

AFMurse2014

That guy? Fried ECU and sand in gas tank dude.

Or the guy that was installing the dash cam?

 

I believe it was dash cam

 

I don't remember the OP's name. But I know what thread you're talking about. That's not much help right now though lol

 

I thought that there was a bunch of guys that fried their ECUs by getting their morimoto HIDs wet? Or was this just a rumour?

 

Crap, didn relize it was the ecm... that must have cost quite a bit!

 

That was also AFMurse2014, and he retracted his claim (had no basis, it was coincidental and he didn't have the proof).

 

Lol classic

 

Very interesting thread he made. First it was power washing the truck and it fried his ecu "because" of the HIDs. then drove in the ocean and got sand in his tank like 3 times.

 

LOL. Almost sounds like a troll thread. Too stupid to be true.

 

Real TW OGs remember the guy with the sand in his sunroof.

 

The thread must have got deleted because I was subscribed to it. I was just interested and what the outcome was after talking to the dealer.

 

Or sand in the gas tank lol

 

he scamed his insurance company to pay all of these unexplainable happenings. and played the sympathy card on TW and won both

Did he actually do that?

 

pretty said so in that thread, https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/sand-in-the-tank-for-the-3rd-time.428765/

 

Wow you folks...

None of you got the actual facts. Never once was my ECU fried, that is still the factory ECU. The dealer attributes the truck going into limp mode due to sand getting into the gas tank, however they did blame my headlights on one of the occurrences.

My insurance company was not scammed, the dealer was adamant that it was a vandolism the first time so that's how we ran it... I even called me insurance company to explain and they were like "cool, what ever. Take it up with the service department."

I haven't washed the truck since I got it back, and have had no issues, even when driving through a flooded Reno NV, the floods in CA, and extremely bad roads in the Tahoe region.
It's not my fault the dealer couldn't troubleshoot or that "sand kept getting into the tank"
