Well, I finally had a chance to dig in and see what I could find. Coil 8 is gone for the most part and Explains the explosion and I’m sure the spark plug is too. There was never a fault in cylinder 8 when the mechanic in billings was assessing. Oil level is higher than it was and clear for a...
Not sure, threw new codes when it blew. Still a coil code but a different coil and code altogether. Almost seems like it could be an ecm or something. No clue. Gonna have my mechanic look at it. The issue is that it isn’t consistent and could be a larger electrical problem. Best case scenario we...
I knew that was coming. My buddy is a toyota guy at heart but needed the bigger truck to pull his food truck trailer. So he didn’t give me a hard time. I told him a bunch of ford guys on i25 are gonna be enjoying it way to much though.
Buddy came to get me with a trailer I rented. Will take the family to pick out a new truck in the next couple days. I went and checked out the different packages yesterday though while I was waiting for my buddy to get here.
I was really hoping an elk would jump out in front of me and get the ol 2 for 1. And unfortunately it’s not going anywhere even if the had the keys. They would just pilfer through my stuff.
I’m calling off my fourth season hunt. Need to get this truck back to Denver and spend some time with the family. Probably go truck shopping with the family at some point this week.
Well, engine just went click, click, clickety boom in Casper. At least I made it to a town. Looks like the problem must have been something inside the cylinder or something. This hunting trip is all but over.
I think I have her fine tuned lmao. Feathering the shit out of the throttle, no long sustained pulls. I’d probably make a passenger puke but it’s working.
Pretty sure it’s the fuel pump but we shall see.
Likely, it feels like it could be a fuel supply issue. It’s happened enough now. Under a certain amount of strain, like long uphills it starts to putter a little before the check engine light goes off and shaking starts. Not consistent rpm, mph, or anything else similar. Only thing I could...
Gremlins… he videod himself flooring it and getting up to 90 and pulling hard with no issues. Got out of town and it happened again. Should be ok if I keep it under 65mph. I’m headed back to co
The dash lights all coming on is just the tundra telling you it isn’t functioning right. The abs system shuts off automatically.
Symptoms and fixes, I’m sure I will miss a few but for the peanut gallery.
Under strain, 65mph and higher truck starts to shake and then check engine light comes on...
Mechanic has been very thorough and has checked all the different systems parked and driving. It seemed isolated and now the problem is back in the original spot. I walked the whole process through my fleet mechanic and he said the steps taken were the same steps he would have done. There is one...
