How much are you charging? You can finance your next upgrades with snowone knows how to drive in the south when inclement weather hits assistance... It's pretty sad really - same scene around here... We're due for 10" overnight... It's going to be complete chaos in SE VA - zombie apocalypse like - people are freaking out already...
Changed out the APPS. $$$! Neither of the local dealers had one in stock, so I paid a little more for a Toyota/Denso part from Autozone. It was in a Duralast box. Needed it today, so no 'Mud discount for me. MPGs for my last two tanks were pretty bad, so I wasn't surprised to see a code. At least I didn't have to limp home from somewhere out in the Boonies.
That is crazy in Atlanta.
It rattled when open. Now it rattles when "closed." The motor seems to work fine. I was excited to see your post. Wasn't excited to hear what the dealer would quote me.
How bad did your mpgs get. I had mine drop last tank and I'm afraid it's the apps/ tps bc of other symptoms I've had.
I was sitting on 1/2 tank after 100 miles when the CEL came on this morning. I drove 60 miles this afternoon and the needle seemed like it barely moved. My last tank was 10.5, and the truck has been driving like garbage. Seemed like a bad tank of gas.
Or a bad coil pack.
If you're in a region that hasn't seen cold weather like this before, that can do a number on your MPGs as well.
Why is that? We get 100 days like that and colder a year, and my truck runs great. Different fluids?
Asking me why is a futile exercise
. I have no idea. Maybe I'm just not used to cold weather driving, engine warmup, etc.
i think when it gets cold and stays cold there is no problem; most have problems when it fluctuates drastically. We have had teen temps for a about 2 weeks and I have been running ok (gas MPG seem off but not an exact figure maybe just my imagination) its been 4 to 6 degrees every morning. By the way had to buy some cheap windshield wiper fluid at a local 7_11 and the stuff froze up. What do you guys up in the mountains use?? Has any one come up with some ideas for keeping the sprayer from freezing??
^id say pour in some 90% rubbing alcohol. Speaking from a chemist standpoint, it will lower the freezing temp drastically

Breaking something or fixing something
It was -13 here this morning. what did I do to my cruiser? I started it. That was epic. When it takes a quarter mile for the flat spots on your tires to round out, you know it's cold. I also got it stuck in the 3 feet of snow in our driveway. Not sure what I was smoking when I thought I could get up our driveway with only 2wd.

I just use the blue stuff you can find anywhere. It has a temperature rating on it, I think -20 or -40? And I would be afraid to put rubbing alcohol in there.

3" of snow and ice that wasn't predicted. Children spending the night in schools. It's been a beg mess. Took me 10 hours to pickup my son in law and glad I had my Land Cruiser. Performed like a champ.
What are you guys complaining about.
It is a bit cooler today with 92F (32.5C).
