Wisconsin Tacomas and bad financial advice

Ha! Fantastic! I just packed my clothing 20 minutes ago and set this aside to wear tomorrow.





I need to get to bed...

 

I was being a smart ass. Didn't realize you actually tried it.

 

Thank You!

 

I was too! While I did lose the alternator, I knew it was way beyond rice! Lol

 

I like this line of thinking. @pearing you should totally start a small fire under the truck to dry out the starter. What could possibly go wrong?

 

Not too far off but heat would work if you can get at it.
1st set of taillights I bought leaked, D.S.
Sat with a heat gun on low and went over it gently (and in the sockets) for a couple hours but it finally dried it out.
Didn't have anymore condensation.

What's concerning to me as a non Toyota tech, is every time he goes to start it, with moisture in there, it's potentially causing more damage.

 

That is the least of my worries right now... wife is NOW sending me job applications. NH, Penn, ME Cripes, I'm 59 this is NOT the time to be starting over (again....) Oh well, at least I know my taco can swim!

 

One would think that 12+ hours of driving would have created enough heat to dry that out...

 

I have no words of wisdom for you, there. I've been at the same place for 21 years.

My ex's mother was 54 when she completed her doctorates, so it's never too late. Inconvenient and annoying?....

 

Not "school" but life. Jobs etc. I have two Master's I am NOT going back for more.

 

New 4Runner April 9th

 

Reminds me of my grandpa, ironically. He had a gravel company, and this wasn't unheard of as a method to help the old diesels get started during the dead of winter.

 

Mud takes time and vibrations to exit though

Yeah.... And with the new cruisers landing at 20k+ over what we were promised, I'm not holding my breath on a 4runner

He forget about glow plugs?

 

I’ve used a torpedo heater to warm up cars with frozen gas lines.

 

Created plenty of heat.
If it's in a mostly tightly sealed area then it's going to do like the taillight and vaporize when it warms. Condense when it cools.

 

Have you seen the horrendous storms going on out northeast? Better stick to PA.
Besides, Idk that I'd travel all the way to NH for an adventure.

 

No posts today.
I need to start going to these events so I don't keep getting left behind with @CygnusX191
