AC stopped working a couple days ago. 240k miles. Thought it was time for that RAM 2500 I’ve been talking to the ol’ boy in Tomball about. I know he’s ready.

Went and bought some R134a for $49 (was $15 in 1998). Charged that puppy up, and blowing air colder than I’ve ever felt her. Compressor is obviously working. Time will tell if there’s a leak.

We riding, OT. Another 100k in her. My boy at Tomball was licking his lips. Maybe 1-2 more years.

My 2016 is at 150k

I’m torn because I really like the new F250 with 7.3 gas v8

But my tundra just keeps running

Getting her washed now

So you drive like 21k per year? Do you drive for a living? Otherwise that commute must suck.

You have easily another 100-150k miles left on that yota. Keep driving it. I have a 2009 Tacoma with 150k on her and she still drives like the day i bought it.

Worst poster of 2025.

The Yankees dong guy is a close second.

2013 Tundra with 160,000 ish on her. About to have the transmission serviced this week. Runs like a champ and she’s still in great condition! A few minor dings, but the interior is mint!

I’ve pulled a boat for at least half of those miles. No need for ‘transmission service’. Whatever the hell that is. Nothing but oil changes (done myself) and tires/brake pads (also done myself).

Glad the OT can enjoy my journey.

Well, the refrigerant didn't just disappear. Your system is leaking somewhere and what time will tell you is how big the leak is based on quickly your system stops cooling due to low refrigerant.

Sorry, I’m a man. I actually leave the house to go to work. I don’t sit at home all day in my pj’s playing video games claiming I can do my imaginary job from home.

No, you just claim an imaginary job and life on the OT. But hey, you get dumbasses hook line and sinker every damn time so kudos.
