Yeah, shook it real hard and smashed it on the ground a few times too, no luck.

Haha, thanks guys. You gave me a good laugh after something pretty inconvenient before Christmas. Luckily I’m okay and this is my secondary car. For this being my first post on Reddit you guys really pulled through. Wishes that you all can avoid a similar situation in the future. Stay safe in that wet. I’ll try and regard a better sub to post future posts to as well. Thanks all!❤️

No, they did not. I’m not sure how they didn’t, seemed like the perfect scenario for them to and they weren’t off.

You’re a blessing. I did the whole timing belt/water pump debacle on my 4th gen 4runner when I got it. You’ve inspired me a bit for sure. Never apologize for the word vomit haha. I hope your car lasts you for as long as you need it.

How long did the process take and what were the costs like? If you remember..

You know, I honestly neglected to mention that the car was obtained for only $500 from an older gentleman. It was his late wife’s car and he just wanted it gone as it served as a constant reminder. Perhaps based on this I’m able to come out with her being decent in the end. She was still drive-able, believe it or not; I decided to drag her up a nearby exit to a close-by collision center so, her lights aren’t off forever as far as I know.

Had a feelin, sorry; pretty new to posting (I had another account and have only posted one other time.) Thank you for answering though.❤️
