First year has been Hell!

Have a 2005 Acert also. The rocker studs let go and took out the head and valve train. Lots of VVA problems eventually solved with a new wiring harness. Currently has a piece of chrome flaked off one of the cam lobes. The 2001 6nz however was a truly trouble free engine

 

Well not a big deal fix but add in a new windshield. Was sleeping up in the mountains and a rock from snow plow must had hot my windshield and cracked it when I got up.

 

Well to keep this hell year going I have had to do a couple more things to this truck. Radiator popped a small leak on top of the unit. So had to replace that #### thing. Emission system had some problems and had to replace Both NOx sensors and clean DEF system. Will need to get Windshield fixed again. After a 2 weeks got a #### rock chip right in eye view less then 1/2 inch but man does it drive me nuts. Ha Ha This year needs to end........

 

If the damage is still just a chip, they might be able to patch it rather than replace it. If you have never seen how they patch windshields, it's worth paying for once, just to see it.

 

Carry a rock chip repair kit , cheap easy fix . I have 2 chips in mine and it's not noticeable after repair. I also chan both sensor's on my Def system this year . They dont pay enough to run these trucks .

 

Any Walmart. I think it was $9? Literally took 10 minutes in the parking lot.

 

Yeah I plan on a patch. Very familiar with this work as I used to be a manager for a fabrication shop for many years.I think it may have a warranty as well just need to some time to take care of it.

 

Good deal. Did not know they sold it. I have the stuff to fix at home if need be as well. Just have to make it back with a few extra minutes and truck not in the shop. Ha Ha I think I will stop at Walmart on way back this weekend and do it.

 

Is this the Rain X one?

 

Yes

doesn’t really matter the brand in this case but that’s what was on the shelf.

my guess is any of the Napa, autozone or orilies would have something similar?
