So far LUV the LUV cause its the perfect little truck. My last truck was an '84 manual toyota 4cyl and i loved that truck, but the LUV has two upgrades that fit me like a glove; the 4x4 and the diesel. I had no idea a small truck like this existed.
So everything is great except... I'm here at this forum cause two days ago I encountered a number of issues and they didn't really improve as I limped the last 100 ft to a pull off up the mountain.
1. Steam started pouring from the hood as my coolant bubbled out of the yellow coolant release (the top blown off from the pressure).
2. Belts, of the belts, one had fallen off and the other was turned inside out and riding on the pulleys
3. a little sensor broke (its the little sensor above the belts. looks like the wires are jb welded to a plug?)
4. Brakes got real tough to push down and didn't work as well.
I replaced the belts and drove it back home but still
now I am trying to figure out why:A: it overheated so bad and how to fix that.
B: Whats up with the breaks?
C: fix that little sensor, but I think I can handle that.
anyhow, I realize that's less of an Introduction and more of a venting session.
glad to be a part of the club
