Hey, I’ve been driving this truck for 13 years. I was a lot younger when I got it, and did not know then what I know now about proper auto maintenance. Plus, it just kept going with zero problems on nothing but regular oils changes, so in a addition to my ignorance, I didn’t even ever have cause to think about it. There were just never any problems. And I only lived in Alaska for 3 years. It was probably the 3 years in salt-heavy Massachusetts after that that did it. They don’t salt in Anchorage IIRC. So take it easy on me, brother. I’m trying to make up for past shortcomings here.
Yep sounds like a Toyota
Hey I wasn't trying to criticise just describing your previous post for context. I'm glad you decided to go ahead and fix it, and you're probably correct about it being Massachusetts salt that caused all your issues and these are extremely common for vehicles that spend time anywhere they salt the roads.
