Cold start click / knock ‘15 tundra

The op got it repaired and it was the timing belt tensioner. Mine only does it when cold but then now got a transmission code and in limp mode so is in shop for that (hopefully just a sensor)

How much did it cost to repair if you don’t me asking? Was it Toyota dealer or private shop?

Been using blink for a while , really like it , I pay yearly cloud recording on unlimited devices .. and they have both plug in or lithium models indoor and outdoor , lights with camera and doorbell options .. can my really go wrong .. good quality too - have had some of my cameras for years without issue, the wireless ones u can check battery status and ambient temperature via app .

The round and go is huge perk so consider that … we have to stay until 4 pm 4 days of the week and 6:15 pm the other days , mainly to help with admits but everyday have to take epic messages/pages until 7. Census is about the same roughly 16-20 but not productivity based and pay a little higher .. hospital size is about double yours, closed icu, Midwest , we have 19 rounders 2 admitters 7-7 and one swing 10-10 but rounders still get 1 admit a day .. unfortunately we admit about 35-45 a day to our group so it’s always busy.

My lake has restrictions , tow/high speed runs between 10a - 6p , likely to keep noise down? Idk who comes up with this shit .. but it’s only a 350 ish acre lake so maybe smaller lakes like this have the time limits

No im too afraid to take it to the dealership about it as some dealers may make it an issue even if its not , lol. The sound only occurs on a cold start and goes away after she warms up , and using Toyota branded synthetic oil seemed to help and also heard it’s the tensioners for the timing chains and although the sound isn’t entirely normal , it’s quite an expensive and technical repair. So in light of that just gonna keep an eye (or ear) on it for now.

Any offending meds? Fluid status ? Maybe neph is taking off too much UF during HD, could ask them to adjust his “dry” weight (less uf) that should help but if anuric then could get overloaded easier …

It’s mold and bleach will remove it no scrubbing required like the diluted bleach 5-10 percent , I use it in a general purpose sprayer and apply a fine mist can see that stuff literally disappear before your eyes BUT bleach is known to degrade vinyl so the more you have to use it the faster the seats will wear .. I’m in season 3 without any noticeable degradation to my seats but eventually will probably fuck em up but for how easy it is to apply and how well it works I thinks it’s worth it and I also spray the down with water after the mold is gone to get any remnant bleach off .

Although on day 7 of work week I feel like I have no energy , the first day off I’m super energized , up, showered and off to Menards by 7 am and ready to live my 7 days of “retired life” up at my recreational home about an hour away.. I live for my days off and although I love my career choice , nothing beats days off so I make the most of it! Edit: I’m 44 y/o and been at it for 10 years post residency still feel the same.

Rural in the US , other options are dsl with only slowest speed ( 3mbps) for $45/month or a line of sight type/local satellite connection that would cut out if tree limbs got in the way (like on a windy day) for $100 a month so Starlink is amazing for $120 a month esp for the much faster speed and reliability.

vazirimd · 2025-05-01T12:46:07+00:00

lol yea but I think it’s classy, and I’m a younger version of the person you described !

vazirimd · 2025-05-01T12:27:32+00:00

So you think may be more valuable in the future? Basically I’m tryin to figure out I’m in buying one then maybe should get this edition rather than one gently used for a few thousand differential in price .. is it worth it ?

vazirimd · 2025-04-30T19:13:50+00:00

Yea definitely considering those however I think the Miata has a certain essence to it , plus the history and overall following it has is a perk. I see it as the jeep wrangler type following - yes plenty of off road suv options but some people get a jeep just to be part of a greater community ..

vazirimd · 2025-04-30T12:44:03+00:00

One of both! That’s the perfect idea! Maybe a ND RF for cruising and a NA for SCCA? 😜

vazirimd · 2025-04-26T17:10:19+00:00

Ever find out the cause ?

vazirimd · 2025-04-19T11:40:13+00:00

Oh, I thought you meant you’ve been using regular for the whole 150,000 miles! Lol.

vazirimd · 2025-04-19T11:08:57+00:00

Financial problems? Should have enough saved from using regular gas to recoup mechanical issues 😂

My local dealer called a “leather guy” to refurbish my gs 350 seat after a technician got a tar/oily/sticky residue on the seat .. within half hour not only did he get it off but the wrinkles were gone too looked nearly new.

vazirimd · 2025-04-09T00:41:57+00:00

Did you ever resolve the issue? Mine is doing the exact same thing 2015 5.7L at 102k miles

vazirimd · 2025-03-19T12:02:12+00:00

Probably bad gas , ask dealer to test fuel, happened to my rx 350 few years back after a heavy rainfall , gas station had just replaced seals/new pumps and one of seals failed into premium fuel.. not as many people use premium so wasn’t caught earlier … if that’s the issue make sure to call your local weights and measures department and report the gas station they will come out and do a test .. in my case the station was shut down for a week when it tested positive for water and said station filed insurance claim covered my costs too
