    Wow.....exceptionally delusional. He believes younger generations look up to him. ROFLMAO. Boomer blinders. Amazing how he keeps grinding on this. What's that old saying.....something about a horse and water.

    the big LBJ...

    I'm wondering if he'll even do the work. As a bit of information. Most auto stores (Advance, Oreilly's, Autozone) will rent tools of this nature. All you need to do is put down a deposit, which is fully refunded on return of the tool. In other words, the tool rental is FREE.

    Tire wear

    Oh, I'm sorry, we weren't immediately responding to your query. Typically, responses are not immediate. 24 hours or 2 days will find responses of value. File the following in FWIW. Most tires hit the wear indicators at 2/32. So, at 10/32, you have roughly 8/32 left before new tires. You...

    noticeable increase in fuel consumption, losing 50 tacoMiles per tank of tacoJuice... what is going on?

    Have you considered going into a Ridgeline or Frontier or anything that isn't Toyota? You seem deeply disappointed with Toyota products. Perhaps you should try another brand. Trade in your Gen 1 to recover all those big $$ you claim its worth for a trade on the next ride.

    oil pan leaking??

    Which is it? Oil pan or valve cover? Do you know the difference? You're bouncing around again.

    oil pan leaking??

    OK. So, quit worrying about it. Slip a pan or a pad under it when you park overnight. Look at the pan/pad in the morning. It'll tell you the extent of the "leak".

    Bigger tires, locking front diff

    Let's play a game of Lift with "Bigger Tires" Say you pay big $$ for some 40" tires (outside diameter). Your current tires are about 34" (outside diameter). Cool a tire that is 6" bigger. Ahhhhh, but wait.............you don't get all 6" below the axle. Only half of that is below the axle...

    noticeable increase in fuel consumption, losing 50 tacoMiles per tank of tacoJuice... what is going on?

    I was thinking more like a 10:1 ratio. 10 gallons gasoline mixed with 1 gallon diesel. Frankly, I think his truck is just plain worn out. All the engine internals must have massive clearances compared to a new engine. Once upon a lifetime or 3 ago. We had a 3 hp Briggs & Scrapem engine on a...

    You could try mixing in a few gallons of diesel. It is more energy dense per lb than gasoline. You could find those lost mpgs.

    Who's going to be Trump's Running mate in 2024 ?

    ROFLMAO. Ain't none of the candidates worth making the trip to the voting polls. Death by hanging or firing squad. Results are the same. Just how deep does this country need to sink into by bottomless manure pile??? Isn't it scary that these are the best candidates the parties can offer...

    Odd vehicle paint colors

    Its a cost reduction program at the beemer's factory. Paint choice is extra $$. Primer gray is standard at no extra charge. Everyone is pinching $$ due to the non-inflation economy..............

    noticeable increase in fuel consumption, losing 50 tacoMiles per tank of tacoJuice... what is going on?

    Not likely. The "detergent" level is controlled by the Feds regarding what and how much. No advantage to a blender to add more than the minimum required by Fed Law.

    noticeable increase in fuel consumption, losing 50 tacoMiles per tank of tacoJuice... what is going on?

    Not most likely..... Actually correct. You have stated in the past that you are skilled at researching. Suggest you research the purpose of octane.

    Cold Air Intakes are they worth it

    Help me to understand why a person would spend $300 to replace a system that is already on the truck? Bro points? Too much cash laying about? No wife, no GF? Hoping to get more power? You don't have inflation in your area? Costs are up roughly 20% since the current batch began "helping"...

    the climate crisis...

    Climate Crisis = Political $$ Grab. Drought continues here. This area is more than 1.25" behind average rainfall. June is just a couple weeks away. The "dry" time is nearing. Does anyone remember the dire warnings of coastal towns being flooded by seawater due to glacier melt? Have any...

    noticeable increase in fuel consumption, losing 50 tacoMiles per tank of tacoJuice... what is going on?

    Ok.....Again. Octane does nothing for adding horsepower or cleaning. It has 1 purpose and 1 purpose only. That is to help prevent PRE-DETONATION (aka engine ping). If you want to cough up an additional $10 on 20 gallons of fuel....knock yourself out. Ironically, you'll burn most of that...
