If you have a supercharger, VISUALLY check your intercooler coolant!!!

Something I do is use green anti freeze in the intercooler. Pink in the radiator. That way I can tell at a glance what system is leaking. Not 100% necessary, just something I do.

I ran a dedicated circuit for just the pump.

Can you elaborate? Are you powering the pump differently than the TRD instructions?

Video as promised. Whirlpool in full effect!

Thank you sir!

I never liked how the intercooler wiring hooked up to the fusebox on a tapped fuse. I did this on the original install, but later I went back and added an additional fusebox to clean up some of my gauge wiring and other accessories.

I am pointing to the fusebox in this pic.



This is a pic with the fusebox uncovered.



This fuse box has some constant hot and some ignition hot circuits. This is a pic of the wiring (in my case). The upper right circuit is the intercooler wiring.

This is pretty damn awesome Coupe! So if I follow, you pulled power for your indicator light from the DK Blue wire.

That is correct.

I've thought about taking the intercooler to a machine shop and having the hose barbs cut off and the ports taped for AN fittings along with changing the plastic reservoir for a metal can and SS braided hoses. I'll probably never do it though.

ladies and germs, ladies and germs.................

first post is updated.

TOYOTA left the PLUG in the heat exchangers INLET!

Smh at Toyota. Glad you found the problem though!

Yeah, thankfully only 25ishK on it in almost 4yrs.
But 2 trips to death valley.

I assume snout oil should be dumped?

I dont know how hot things got or whats normal, and what is effected.
Rotors? Cylinders? Bearings in snout? Nothing really?

At a loss here.

 

[XMPLRY808]

I don't think anything has to be changed since the heat exchanger is only for the compressed air going in the engine

Wow, you're lucky that thing didn't burn itself down.....I'd have a few choice words for that dealership.

Yeah, i didnt even get loud.. i didnt make any threats... it was in hopes some kind of empathy woulda been shown.
But no... zero fox were given by the service manager. All he could manage was basically blaming me, since only they and myself work on the truck.

Really glad that you found the problem and that hopefully no damage was done. I haven't had a chance to look into my issue any further. I may try to run out and get some video today though so that I can post it up. Not only am I getting poor flow but on startup I am sometimes getting a high whine/squeal from the blower hosing. #notdrivingenoughproblems #2006withunder80k

How many miles on the blower since the rebuild?

How many miles on the blower since the rebuild?

I dunno. Looked through the paperwork from the rebuild and didn't see any mileage listed anywhere. That was back in 2013 so I'd guess maybe 20-25k miles as little as I drive the truck.

Lmao, ur like me mileage wise.
Almost 4yrs..... lets call it 3.5, but only about 25k on the blower.

 

[NHXRUNNER]

I've almost put 10K on mine since July.....

 

[XMPLRY808]

Got my truck on October 2014, I have over 35,000 miles already and I live on a small island lol *I love driving my truck*

Coupe, Where so I get one of these or a sticker just like it?
