  1. Yeah, engines are blowing up. They issued a recall to replace the engine in a whole bunch of trucks.

  3. It's an irrational fear... I've had many turbo vehicles, some with over 200k miles. I used to work at a Volvo dealer and the only cars I ever saw with failed turbos had very poor service history. I remember the techs showing me the oil screens leading to the turbos being blocked with chunks of old oil tar.

  4. It has grown on me, I like it now. From some angles it looks too much like a hulk Hogan mustache though.

  5. I should see if there is a valve for my ford... It has a goofy 1/2 turn plastic drain plug sealed with an o ring... The opening is like 3/4 of an inch and it shoots hot oil directly at the sway bar, spraying oil all over the place. I hate changing the oil in my truck. It's worse than getting all the way under my Honda and reaching up through a tiny gap to unscrew the oil filter from up on the back of the engine.

  6. Technically you don't have to, but it's good practice.

  7. I think that's only an issue if you are a big fella and sit on the side of the seat on entry... In a few pictures I've seen of cracked seat plastic the driver's seat looks like it is taking a lot of abuse for it's age.. (Like the lower cushion side bolster already being flattened before 20k miles).

  8. Trade in value is always sh1t. You wouldn't be able to buy your current truck back for 42k right now.

  9. I saw a teardown from some toyota tech and he showed that the main oil galleys were not deburred after drilling, leaving little "chips" of metal hanging on sharp edges that could break off over time and vibration. Seems like the failures will be very random. Since it's after the oil filter any chip that breaks off will end up in a bearing.

  10. He knows, he did an entire video explaining it.

  11. What a nice land cruiser!

  12. Isn't the factory fill oil different from the service oil due to break in? At least that's what I've heard from an oil guy.... I don't know what calcium is for though... a dispersant?

  13. I'm sure he knows how to properly tighten a drain plug without a torque wrench...

  14. It's the modern truck design language... GM has even bigger grills, especially on the GMC lineup.

  15.  @samfisher320  when I was a teen I had the idea of "stay in your car" oil change. Funny that it exists. I could see people doing that, especially with the kids.

  16. He has no affiliation with Toyota, he is an independent shop. That's like saying a shop that specializes in Fords will get a free Ford all the time.... No way! They wish they'd get free trucks! He paid for that with his own money.

  17.  @MGMidget73  i don't know it for a fact, but I've never seen a repair oriented YouTuber get a free vehicle from a manufacturer. Only the other YouTubers get free cars. Whether it's racing oriented, or just a big channel they want the vehicle shown in. This channel is not helping to increase Toyota sales. Just helping owners. Brands don't care about that.
