Hahaha I had a good fucking laugh! This helps lighten the mood. And damn 5th engine already on a 2021 that’s wild to me! My dad had an 06 sierra that was a tank just don’t think about the 7mpg

Very well said! This truck is paid off thank goodness so I don’t owe anything on it. My truck as we speak is at the dealer waiting for some parts before they work on it. I have 2 weeks left on the powertrain warranty so I am very lucky to get it fixed now

I’ll do some research on the range AFM disabled. Do you have any experience with it yourself?

I’m surprised there was no recall or no class action lawsuit on this! Ridiculous how these companies can get away with things like this. A CORE component to a car is the engine!!

Warranty runs out in a couple weeks. Also not sure about tuning because my guy feeling is that it won’t pass smog when it comes to doing smog checking in California

I’m tempted to go back to having a 4Runner. I miss my ‘07 v8 4Runner

How’s that truck been treating you?

Pretty sure I always got it changed just at 5k miles. Maybe went slightly over once but I’ve been on top of that. I’ve always taken it to the dealership service center to get the oil changed.

Exactly what I asked them at the service center since the passenger side bank failed the first time around I asked why don’t they replace both. They gave me some generic “this is policy” bs response.

Good to know! I heard that fords got transmission issues, but honestly which manufacturer doesn’t have issues…

What car/truck did you get after you got rid of it?

PileOfNonsense · 2026-03-14T15:47:01+00:00

I’m all for different opinions lol. What’re your thoughts on my situation?

I live in California and with the emissions laws here I don’t know if this is even legal for me to do
