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

It might be strong but it's probably a little thirsty too...

One day I'll be up to date on maintenance

 

I changed mine out at 124K with a cheap filter which I need to replace real soon with an OEM one.

My fuel filter was really dirty inside when it was changed at 124K

 

Yeah probably a little overkill, I use cheap filters though. I go through a lot of gas in that many miles too, SC and 35s doesn't help...

 

I have no indication that my fuel filter has ever been changed. Just creeping up on 210K now. Probably should get around to that.

Hey, I got a question for you guys. When your engine has been running for a while, up at temp and all, is the pulley bearing on your AC compressor hot to the touch? I just replaced mine, the old one seized up. It's a brand-new part from Toyota, but it was making scraping noises when I first installed it. Noises have gone away, but now it's always hot, so hot I can't hold my finger on it. Can't figure out if that's normal or not.

 

Can you normally keep your finger on 200* for very long?

Now I'm curious. I think I'll break out my infrared temp gun next time I driver her just to see how hot that pulley gets.

 

Well, exactly, that's what I don't know. It's obviously too hot to hold a finger on. I just don't know if that's normal or not. I never tried holding my finger on the old bearing before it seized up because, well, crawling under my truck and holding my finger on a bearing isn't the sort of thing I do after a long day at work. LOL

 

Well, if I remember, I'll see if I can get a temp reading for ya.

 

Thanks

 

Thanks man!

Damn thats alot on a filter

That sounds up my alley...i got a cheap one not too long ago

 

Easy peasy change on a v6. 4cyl you gotta get creative and snake your hand to the side of the engine block where it's bolted on under the intake plenum. I changed mine last time I had the head off, held up for 180k before tho.

 

I think i did mine at 150k. Just hit 180 last night

 

just did mine at 126000. plan on changing every 3rd oil change.

 

I see no point until I see fuel starving issues.

The fuel system is circulatory. Even with high DP on fuel filter, pressure regulator only allows 50 psi to the fuel rail, the rest gets sent back to the fuel tank.

 

Nothing really special. After I came back from shopping I parked my "Gramma" next to 5th gen 4Runner. Couldn't resist, they look so cool together.

 

The end of an era I like the early grill the most.

 

Most popular mod, and for a reason... scored a solid 2004 center console and replaced my 98 console. Such a difference

 

Alright do doing my T belt and the kit came with these and I saw them just as I got the new T belt on . Where do they go ?

 

I think those are camshaft seals? I got some in the kit when I did mine but mine weren't leaking so I didn't change them

 

Oil seals for the crankshaft and camshafts. Crankshaft is pretty easy to change out, camshafts are a pain in the neck. As said above, if they aren't leaking, they probably don't need to be replaced.

 

I guess I'm not familiar where that would be . Sorry first time doing anything with the motor . Behind the big gears?
