3412 for me... idk the bottom of the con rods have an injection port but I swear that the con rod cap had a scoop on the back to scoop oil and inject it into a little tube that went all the way up to the wrist pin.

Yes thats a splash type lubricating system... they are actually designed to splash in the sump... if you check the oil while its running it will spray out of the dip stick tube...

Most house hold air compressors are this type as well... reciprocating air compressors are the exact same concept as an engine...

 

Two stroke or four stroke?

 

@cynicalrider would you happen to know if i will be able to clear these wheels with 285 75r16 tires and the 2 inch ish lift I have? these wheels have 3.75 wheel BS not sure if it's going to be enough to clear the uca or will I need a spacer

I've never changed brake lines or bled brake system.
I'm gonna install extended brake lines from @OCTaco and SpeedBleeders.
Any words of wisdom before I tackle this?

 

Do it carefully.

 

the fronts, you need to pump the brakes and hold. Its a 2 person job. Look up the process online. I am doing my fronts tomorrow.

The rears, is a different system. Learned this when doing someone elses. You need to have the key on ACC, but not engine on. Then one press, and the system will push the fluid through. Make sure NOT to let the brake fluid get below the lower line of the reservoir in the engine bay. Might be better to have 3 people. One to watch the fluid, one to press the pedal, and one to be at the bleeder, bleeding

 

Ifs skid will be here tomorrow. Painting it red..

 

what if it comes tuesday?

 

Attach the top of the line first wait til brake fluid runs out the end of the new line and then screw on... you can bleed the brakes by yourself... you just have to build as much pressure as you can. I did mine by myself and I didn't even get air to bleed.

You make things too complex lol

 

the rears are different, I swear! there is an electronic pressure system thing there

 

It is coming in on Tuesday but we will see how accurate that is.

 

I ordered the jumper led hood light kit. and a fumoto valve. not that dumb little clip thing shit was 4$ and 5$ shipping and handling. WTF...

 

I did the brake thingamajig on my cousin car it's not hard but it helps with 2 people.. makes thing so much easier

 

I always bleed with the truck off...

 

3.75" BS is the ideal BS for these trucks. You will clear the UCA fine, really clearing the UCA is typically not an issue, it's clearing the frame. You will clear the frame too though. You will likely need to bash/cut the pinch weld and the plastics near there. Regardless of lift you would need to do that if you wheel.

 

I just bled my rears after installing longer lines. One man jobhttps://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00NP60URE/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1477930499&sr=8-1&pi=SL75_QL70&keywords=brake+bleeder.

 

Yes off. Try it out! Rears wont budge.

 

Thanks bro.

 

Feeler:

Just replaced my rear suspension with Dakars, SuperBumps and Bilstein B110's.

Up for grabs is my relatively new suspension.
1 year old Toyota Factory leaf springs (new from the frame replacement campaign that was done a year ago)
7 month old HeadStrong three leaf AAL's
7 month old rear Bilstein 5100's
Extended length u-bolts to fit the AAL's

In about a month, after I install my Bruteforce front and rear bumpers, I'll have a Mobtown recovery bar available as well.

Also thinking about selling off my Archive Shackle Flip kit. NIB.

I refuse to ship. I haven't figured out pricing yet.
Local pickup, or meet at RC is ideal.
