What should I do

[lilbuddy]

Ive had a snow run planned since December ish and now its SNOWING SO MUCH and my motor is knocking.

So about my motor... I havent been driving it much. It only knocks when its not under a load at 3K RPM ish. Check engine light is constantly on from it. Not only that its not that loud (the knocking)

IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO TRY TO FIND A NEW MOTOR! so, that said... thats why I probably cant get a new one in.

[brainlessfool]

that frist vote was not me! 

[Rocksurfer]

Just take a spare with you.

[kiyul4130]

tried to help out you out all i could and as we dicuss it now, you know what my vote is....

[MiniSimp]

You're an idiot, but try it, what the hell, why not, there is no guarantee that the motor will die on the run. It might wait until you are 15 miles from home.

Dude, now even you are pulling out of the lilbuddy's annual snow run. I guess you can't hack on me anymore

Also, just drop your pan and check your rod bearings before you blow up the whole engine. Stop being such a goofball



I voted for BAD!

[kneedownnate]

just drop your pan and check your rod bearings before you blow up the whole engine

  Mine started knocking just before it gave out.  You just never know man! 

[Wermz84]

Trying to get your vehicle home from umpteen miles away just sucks.

[rude86]

I SAY GET SOME...           but bring the strap with you

[Tallchevy]

I had a truck that had a rod knock & put over 2,000 miles on it before I fixed it. If your engine still has power I say run some straight 50W & go  Your going to fix it when you get back anyway  I've seen used car lots sell cars with 80/90W  Scary but true

Or you can ride with someone.

[Lady Di]

LOL!! I had to vote to see how the poll was going! What the hell, I'm sure you've done worse.

[DTB]

, its a toyota! it'll make it!  lol 

[*** YELLER ***]

[KYOTA]

dump a quart of Hilton's hyper lube or Power Punch in it. Oh yeah, I'll be patiently awaiting the "I BLEW MY MOTOR I'M AN IDIOT" thread

[lilbuddy]

Anyway that said It has 2qts of gear oil, 1 qt of lucas, 2qts of 20-50.... Nice and molasses oil. It just loves cold startups

[rednk1980]

[jimbo74]

ummm... i go for it what the worst that can happen you have to tow it home with a strap. DO IT!

im thinking that will work unless its dies somewhere where that is jsut so far from civilization that towed on a strap wont cut it.....

i towed my truck with a 2wd ford ranger with a towstrap tied to the swaybar the otehr end of the strap was jsut around the ball on the bumper

[kiyul4130]

Well, it is a party town i guess..

hahaha I was so pissed....


and everyone that said "oh Ill come get you no matter where youre at if you ever break" yeah they all bailed. Bunch of  holes

[brainlessfool]

Anyway that said It has 2qts of gear oil,

I seam to remember that gear oil does not like soft metals like the kind you find in eng. bearings.

[Tallchevy]

Ok, so what did you do? Did you take it & blow it up? Or did you even take. Give us the scoop!

[kiyul4130]

i asked him when we were up there at some point during the day, im not sure but he said it was doing fine. he'll fill you in.

[Tallchevy]

So he did take it  I guess the mollassis mix worked
