Manual transmission Fan Club and BS thread (All Generations Welcome)

The squeaking is real! I had the damn thing greased at the 5k service interval and it’s back again at less than 10k miles. WTF!

 

I didn't mean it actually "ticks". I was referring loosely to what makes the truck do what the truck does, regarding fuel management.

I try to do my best to get the highest mpg for the given drive, and many times over the truck will get better mpg's of I don't even bother to pay attention for a while.

Go figure?

 

It's not the truck, it's you.

 

The gas is worth hearing that engine actually wake up.

I'm kidding of course, I don't drive around wound up at 6k. I do usually go 3rd to 6th when getting on the highway though...

 

Well duh!

But I just don't understand it?
My gen 1 Taco has pretty much always averaged 17-19 per tank since we got it in '97 and I obviously can't monitor it's progress per drive cycle like I can the gen 3.

I suppose I should just leave it be and drive normal and not try to micromanage my skinny pedal, rpm, or gears thinking I am helping.

 

Use disc brake grease on all the pivot points and that old barn door squeak will go away.

 

I wish I would of bought mine as a manual

 

The smiles per gallon are real

 

Hehe @NorilskSever lurking the MT thread!

 

Haha, I am now! Build date for my 18 is Jan 16th, so hopefully by February I will be driving it then!

 

That's awesome dood, I was stoked when I read that on Peters thread! You will absolutely not regret it in any way.

 

I feel like I will hate it for the first week, because I won't be able to sip my pumpkin spice latte, take selfies and do other stupid things
Going to take it rock climbing, mudding and water crossings this spring right away, no mercy.
Glad that I picked white colour this time, less scratches will be visible haha.

 

i've only got 5, so it's more like 3200rpm

 

Yeah they only had access cabs in manual and I really wanted a 4 door. They also gave me a good price on it so I went with it. Years down the road if transmission problems come then may just convert it to a manual.

 

OR or Sport? I do recall is an AC

 

Off-Road ACLB in White, got to play with that rear locker too!

 

How are you getting an Access Cab Off Road in Manual?

 

Because Canada?

 

You gonna miss the skewp tho...dont deny it lol

 

Oh, and ya...you just made a bunch of peeps south of the 49th drool. It is a nice configuration.
