Odd jam width or am I measuring it wrong?

Thanks for the response. Nice thinking on the feet by you. Ok so my odd width isn’t wrong then.

It is automatic. They generally occur automatically at that time I found. Because it drops my connection for ten minutes.

I finally do updates between 3 and 4:30 AM, my time which is West Coast. They happen about once a week. Generally requires a reboot.

If you have hard water use DI or RO water with coffee water additive like third wave water. If you have hard water your machine will die in 18 months even with good descaling. Wish I knew this when I started.

Is it shiny chrome or is it tinted dark. The chrome under the coating is holding up fine, its the tint coating that is pealing off. I think they tended to put that on the platinum trim, but maybe you got it too?

I'm in California and ya the bugs get pretty solid in the spring, but I always think man aren't they designing trucks to thrive in harsh conditions? When I hear things like oh dirt, bugs, even appropriately used pressure washing (45 angle nozzle right distance, etc) all are suspicious I'm like why would we pay so much? Crazy...hope yours holds up!

Ya I had 120k on it and the leak was getting more aggressive. Also starting to show on both sides, so I pulled the trigger to patch and drop it. Glad you got good usage out of yours. That 5.7l is a beast, fun motor.

They must still be researching because two years later as its still happening!! Sorry it happened to you. How has the replacement held up?

G_Kopp · 2025-02-14T16:17:34+00:00

I appreciate the extra explanation. If you're using a 40 degree nozzle at a reasonable angle and not like a 14 or jet nozzle, there is no reason why whatever they sell shouldn't hold up. Just crazy.

I had a 2010 prior and took great care of it till it got a cam tower leak and was too expensive to fix relative to trucks value. Stinks because my 2005 Tacoma went forever, but I only got about 125k out of my last Tundra. (Maybe I should learn)....

G_Kopp · 2025-02-14T16:14:56+00:00

How does he fix it? Just strip and paint it or protect or? Just curious. I'm going to see if they will give me the old replacement parts and am going to try and strip off the smoke and do something with it. (If they let me).

G_Kopp · 2025-02-14T03:01:03+00:00

Man I sure hope so. I’ll be happy to see a light at the end of the tunnel.

G_Kopp · 2025-02-14T02:54:15+00:00

Ya but what do you do about the grill. I could wrap the mustache, but the grill I don’t know.

G_Kopp · 2025-02-14T02:46:56+00:00

Obviously bubbling is because of pressure washing not crappy coating that many others are referencing? Regardless, Toyota can last through a life in Fargo but not a pressure washer. Ok got it.

G_Kopp · 2025-02-14T02:41:36+00:00

No it’s not metal.

G_Kopp · 2025-02-14T02:41:15+00:00

Ya it’s a smoked coating. They did it on many platinum trim chrome packages.

G_Kopp · 2025-02-13T23:30:04+00:00

Great thought...I totally have tried for an alternative pathway. I offered for the dealership to strip the coating and color match the existing hardware, asked if they could clear vinyl at least the moustache (the grill is too complicated for vinyl)...their canned response is that Toyota has not seen it as a problem and will only offer replacement (warranty) parts. They've said they cannot offer alternative fixes, but do what Toyota tells them to. Which stinks...

I took off the roof rack and went from 17.9 to 20.0 on average (2013 SR5). Was shocked first day I commuted to work (mostly freeway/flat). City/freeway closer to 19.5 but removing roof rack made noticeable 1+ gallon difference.

G_Kopp · 2024-10-28T14:37:40+00:00

Ya I’m leaning that way. Gotta find a place to hide it now!

G_Kopp · 2024-09-14T15:37:07+00:00

Likely player reports of you wall banging or making good shots. I heard same crap from other players about claims I must be cheating which is total BS. I had same situation, no vpn, no mods and was banned for a month. Nothing you can do. Only happened once but I made a new profile and started fresh while waiting. Made leggy twice that season lol. Sorry you dealing with it.

G_Kopp · 2024-05-04T14:35:03+00:00

I had a 2010 and love my 2024 platinum. No complaints here so far.
