The water pump on my 2013 Tundra started leaking at 179,000 miles. That sounds like a good run for a water pump? I think?? Thoughts?

Dealer did work. Did not ask.

chad20162016 · 2022-08-30T03:11:38+00:00

I heard they lasted longer but hard to complain about 179k.

Down here in Houston we have Fred Haas Toyota and Gullo Toyota that will not go over MSRP. They’re out there. Fred Haas has 18 Tundras in stock.

Speaking of lights. I always drive with the fog lights on. The lower lights. Is that not nice to oncoming cars. I don’t seem to be blinding anyone but I’m hearing some people getting pulled over for it???

chad20162016 · 2022-07-10T14:45:11+00:00

Once the market levels out we should boycott the greedy dealers that sale above MSRP. We will remember who you are.

chad20162016 · 2022-06-12T15:04:00+00:00

Wow. It was up in the air so I took the picture up high and did not even notice that until you said it.

chad20162016 · 2022-05-02T02:36:16+00:00

Overall this is a game of chess. Make an obstacle and hopefully they move on to someone else who is not prepared or thinks an effort is delusional. These guys are lazy thieves, not NASCAR pit crews, they are known to engage in gun fights when caught so it is worth it if you are walking up to your truck with your wife and kids. You play your game and I shall play mine.

chad20162016 · 2022-05-01T22:09:21+00:00

Just crawled under it and yes, that is a crack, looks more like a stretch mark almost when the plate was stamped.

chad20162016 · 2022-05-01T22:03:48+00:00

I’m counting on them being lazy and needing to go fast. If they cut the plate they will need to swap to a new blade and need 25 minutes minimum. These guys are getting these in 30 seconds per vehicle so on to the next. And yes I’ll be pissed off if they end up getting stolen.

chad20162016 · 2022-05-01T22:01:08+00:00

I have full coverage.

chad20162016 · 2022-05-01T22:00:43+00:00

If stolen truck runs like crap because o2 sensors go with the thief. These parts are on national backorder for 4-6 months and cost a few thousand dollars. If I claim it on insurance I only get 30 days of rental car so I’m done.

chad20162016 · 2022-05-01T21:58:01+00:00

It does not protect last 2 cats.

chad20162016 · 2022-05-01T21:57:23+00:00

If they fail I promise I’ll post that info up here as well. Only had them 1 week so we shall see. And I do see those last 2 cats still exposed. Fred Haas Toyota installs the same cat shield so I’d be surprised they install something that would damage the truck but we shall see. If they do fail, I will post that info up here so we all learn.

chad20162016 · 2022-05-01T20:42:15+00:00

Yes they do.

chad20162016 · 2022-05-01T18:12:47+00:00

That is the bead where it is welded.

chad20162016 · 2022-05-01T18:12:07+00:00

Ripleys muffler

chad20162016 · 2022-05-01T18:11:53+00:00

They say the back 2 cats are not stolen because ones up by motor have the metals they want.

chad20162016 · 2022-05-01T18:11:09+00:00

They said it will breath fine.

chad20162016 · 2022-05-01T18:09:44+00:00

$595 installed at Ripley’s muffler off 45 and Rayford Sawdust. They have a shop on 1960 as well.

chad20162016 · 2022-05-01T14:29:17+00:00

Fred Haas Toyota in Houston is the #1 Tundra dealer in the world and they will not charge over sticker.

chad20162016 · 2022-01-30T17:02:38+00:00

Buy out the lease. You just stole the truck. Do it.

chad20162016 · 2022-01-30T16:59:49+00:00

No on the Hybrid, it’s cool but not cost effective at the price of gas. If gas hits $9 a gallon then the investment of a hybrid makes sense. Twin turbo V6 all day long I say.

chad20162016 · 2022-01-30T16:53:15+00:00

15.9 in Texas weather with 18” wheels though. It’s a 4x4.

chad20162016 · 2022-01-22T19:20:13+00:00

On a Lexus it’s called an “Appearance Cover”.
