What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

That's intense and impressive. Im going to have to start watching you build more closely. I check it out here and there, but had no idea about all that power. I just knew u had a sc'd 2.7 and your truck looks like a trophy truck haha

 

Does anyone know what an ABS speed sensor does? This is off my 93-94 T100 axle I have arb and trussed. I don't think my axle even has ABS so I'm a little confused. Is it necessary at all? Didn't know if I should just bypass it and not even put it on the axle, just make a small plate and seal it up.

 

You could leave that plug in there to plug the hole. You don't have to connect it to any wiring. Or you could plate off the hole too. No biggie. As long as you don't have ABS in the truck.

 

Alright, so strange happening this morning. Wanted to see if anyone has experienced this, or knows whats up.

Drove to work today, 42 mile trip. Truck ran and drove normally. Smooth everything. I get to work an pull in to my spot, and sit there for a few minutes just listening to the radio. All of a sudden, the stick starts shaking and the truck starts running like crap. I hit the gas, as I just filled up last night, and it gets a bit smoother, but I can still tell something isn't right. No CEL's. So I shut it off, and start it up, same thing. Shaking and almost sputtering.

I jumped out and checked all vacuum lines, and they are all in tact.

 

Yup I was going to recommend going to tractor supply or fleet farm type store and just picking up some rubber mat.

 

My brother had that happen to his truck on time. Sucked a piece of trash threw his fuel filter and was restricting fuel. He changed his fuel filter and blew the line out and was good to go.

 

I had some fun over the weekend. Painted my grill and chrome bumper. Installed new headlights and added an AEM Intake. Oh, also sprayed her down since it has been raining for several days. WooHOO!

 

Sounds fuel related, where did you fuel up at?

 

i had this happen on my old ranger and found out that i got a tank of fuel with some water in it.... put a bottle of heet into the tank and changed the filter and all seemed to go smooth from there..

Does anybody else has ever some play in the steering wheel? It's not a 1/4 of a turn or anything but it's a pretty good bit.

 

Check out the tack weld mod or put in some energy suspension poly steering rack bushings!

 

I'm always wondering if those steering bushings do anything. Everyone always says it solves their movement or clunk and then pops back up a week or two later saying their movement or clunk has returned.

 

Alright, for you stock guys, do your UCA's look like this? I mean angle wise, is this normal? Or does this just mean my suspension is shot.

 

I ve had them on my trucks and it improved quite a bit but did not fully rid of the play

 

What tacovio said ^^^
If it clunks when you hit a bump, it's the safety feature on the steering column that's made to crumple in a crash I believe. If that's the case, you would need to disassemble your dash and tack weld it. But don't fully weld it so that it will still fail if necessary.

 

May be on the project list this summer among other things

 

Mine after shock and spring replacement

 

Ya I thought about doing that on my first Tacoma but never got around to it

 

I've never noticed the clunking. I was debating on the poly bushings but didn't know if they really helped or not.
