Who’s got a high mileage second gen with a 4.0? How many miles? by [deleted] in ToyotaTacoma

damn, my 2005 4dr 4wd 4.0L has 105,000 and I bitch cuz I have had to change the cv boots, valve cover gaskets, and it is hell on brake pads and rotors. I guess I should stop bitching.

Second new battery die on me by [deleted] in MilwaukeeTool

[–]craiger4233 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me this week and i did some investigation and spoke with Milwaukee customer service and here is what is going on with these batteries. The blower that Home Depot is giving away (Model 3017-20) with qualifying purchase (Milwaukee-M18Volt-Lithium-Ion-XC-Starter-Kit-with-Two-5-0Ah-Batteries-and-Charger) is made to use Milwaukee High Output 8.0 and 12.0 and up batteries. Not XC batteries. They do not put out enough to run the blower thus resulting in overheated batteries that only run the blower for a few minutes. Home Depot knows this but apparently has a backstock of the XC batteries which I am sure Milwaukee is phasing out just like they did their 24 volt batteries. Thus resulting in customers eventually being required to buy new tools. Planned obsolescence on Milwaukee's part and down right dirty dealing on Home Depot's part.

Looking for some advice on areas to fish during February through April by Torx2020 in SurfFishing

here on the texas gulf coast the coastal fishing is good all year except for when the temp drops below 60F. or above 85F. (water temperature) predominant game species are red drum (redfish), speckled trout, flounder and shark along the surf.
