@offr0adlim0 ...question.
When I was in the super duper heat in my 100 series, the engine was putting off a sweet gas smell. It only happened when it was really hot. The temp gauge never wavered but I smelled that.
Also, when I parked it once I head fluids boiling. No temp spikes. No warning lights but something was boiling.
I started just leaving it running to keep the fan going and the fluids flowing.

Guys have a time sensitive question.
Changed brake pads last weekend. Early this week started to hear a squeal in the rear when driving. It's rotational, sounds like squealing brakes. When I apply the brakes, it goes away. It does not do it until the brakes warm up...mile or two of driving.
Checked everything yesterday, no luck. Replaced the brake pad retention clips, no luck. Mechanic that did the alignment today cannot find the issue.
I'm thinking all I know to do know is take 160 sandpaper and file down the rotors some.
Any other suggestions? Really don't want to worry about this in CO, so I'm open to try anything...

Pads are brand new, yes. Did not turn or replace rotors, they are drilled/slotted and fairly new.
These are toyota OEM pads, didn't put anti squeal anywhere. Do i need to do something there?

Nice truck for sale. Tasteful mods and right place to go pick it up.

Just to be clear on this...the brakes don't squeal when i'm braking...it's a rotational squealing when I'm not braking.
I'm thinking that has to be pad thickness it at this point. OEM pads with thicker non-eom rotors.

I agree. The anti squeel could lubricate it. Maybe.
I would spend my time taking material off the pads and not the rotors with my sandpaper.
Rears? s***. It will take you 15 years to wear those out again.

Yeah the ones i took off were 2 years old and had plenty of material left. I was already in there tho so i went ahead.
Gonna see if i can't wear them down some with some hard stops and then hit them with sandpaper over the weekend.
I'm thinking this won't actually hurt anything if i can't solve it before i hit the road?
