Gettin the Runner Back Today!

[94RuffRunner]

Finally after about 3 weeks, Ill have my Runner back. I bought it almost a month ago, and 6 days after I bought it, the HG Blew. :frusty: I think the worst part of it all, is that Im going to have to pay about $1k to the dealer/mechanic that has it right now. It really sucks because I just dropped $2100 on it.

Anyways, I was wondering how should I be driving after the HG? Should I baby the hell out of it? Ive only had 1 other vehicle that Ive had to do a HG on. I really would like these gaskets to last, just because its my only car as of now.

I only have a few pics, for now. :lookout:

Just dont let it over heat.

This is key. Not much else to it.

It's amazing to me how many 3.0 head gaskets magically blow immediately after being sold. Some sellers are dicks.

Yeah I'm guessing this was no "accident"

Clean runner by the way, just make sure she runs good. Watch out for stealerships though, I was pretty ruined on them when I got my steering relay recall and they tried shafting me out of $200 bucks because my "aftermarket rear suspension" messed up my alignment. My alignment had been fine and they didn't even say anything about the BJ spacers in the front, I complained to a manager and the manager basically told the tech he was retarded to his face. There are some dealership techs that are just straight crooks, so make sure you find a good guy who knows his toyotas. I found a nice little shop that does awesome work for less so I'm staying with them, which is what I would advise you to do.
