At least it happened pulling out of the material pickup and not in traffic!

Arson Daily posted:i suck at chemistry why would this be bad? See the water pump in the back? The previous owner of my 4Runner was too cheap to buy antifreeze so he just used tap water. The blades of the impeller eventually corroded to the point they they left the pump. Worked out for me, I bought the truck for $1k.

I cant recall ever seeing a cast O Ring gland, is that groove just a locating/holding feature for the gasket? The dimensions of the casting seem pretty risky, impressive.

Why does Toyota love drawing penises on their water pumps? I mean I know why, but it’s funny.

My dogs do that dance when they're about to get a treat. Haven't seen a car do it before.

That is quite a laugh... I've been to a ton of dealerships/service centers/repair shops...whatever... And I'll leave out the Indie type mechanics that specializes, has the concrete block walls, a computer system from Soviet Russia generating invoices on tri-carboned paper from a dot matrix printer yet has a few million worth of cars in the bays. It is either a marbled palace or a shithole at big dealerships. There is no in-between. You are either experiencing marble with a Keurig or smelling gas/oil/Napa type store smells.

That thing is like the platonic ideal of thinking "metal is strong" and knowing absolutely nothing about physics LMAO
