Hey all, Just checking in. You can call me Smileyone, as I am told I'm obnoxiously happy. At least once a week... 
I just bought my Dad's 2003 Tacoma excab, and I am sooo happy as I have wanted this truck for some time. It does have a few issues though, which I will be asking for help on, since My Dad let the truck go showing a code for a while. I'm not sure if the valve is stuck or if the cylinder is shot, but the 3rd cylinder is supposed to only have 70lbs. of pressure. I will be doing a cylinder leak down test here in a few days, then I'll decide if I need a new engine or just some top end work. Yeehaw! The truck is super clean other than this issue though and I got it for a ridiculous price, so if it needs it, it'll get it. Hope to talk to some of you soon. In the mean time, I'll see if I can get some pics. posted. Later, Smileyone out.
