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

Just put her in 4WD and drag ass back to the pavement like a dog on the carpet

 

Yeah wtf was that! He was everything but good

 

Well, he may not have a rear axle, shocks, brakes, or tires...but he has power steering!!!!! Fuckin people suck man..

 

you can watch it here on the AZ thread...

Wagner Should know a few things about brakes. http://www.wagnerbrake.com/technical/technical-tips/break-in.html

Even the Feds get in on it.
"An effective burnish cycle to seat the friction materials into the opposing rotor and drum surfaces requires approximately 200 stops. The 200 stops are consistent with the burnish procedure outlined in the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards FMVSS 105 and FMVSS 135. 200 stops may not be practical for many repair shops. Therefore, we recommend the following burnish procedure:"

200 stops would effectively be like not bedding them in and just driving.

 

Okay. Im impressed. Snapped a shock body out of the collar.

 

Its like when I had a compound fracture on my arm, they said, well if your gonna break it, you broke it as best you could.

 

Looks like he hacked off some metal to even fit the resi line...

 

I know on 2nd and 3rd gens you have to notch it a little, but it looks more like he set Ray Charles loose with the air powered sawzall

 

Huh. Odd. My dad had similar icons for a while and I don't think we notched anything..

 

I think those might be 2.5s, there was a big hullabaloo in the 2nd gen threads when they read the Icon install sheet and it had such naughty words as "cut" and "notch". They were bashing Icon for designing something that required cutting 1cm of metal off their precious truck frame. Little do they know shocks aren't really custom made for their purpose Icon like everyone else just reuses parts from their designs that fit the application closest. Plenty of reasons to bash Icons, but that one just seemed so stupid, new truck owners go off on weird things.

 

...but then they have no qualms with chopping a ton of metal off of their cab mounts to fit larger tires, haha.

 

Yeah, the cab mount placement has ever been a wonder to me. It is so close on second and third gens, and it really doesn't need much to support it. I see no issue cutting it either, hell if I needed to on mine I'd do it. The part they cut out and reweld is barely necessary.

 

if you end up on 35s..you might. I did. That was before LT though.

 

I posted some wiring schematics here if it helps: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/tiffany-the-taco.374490/page-5#post-14771682

 

I just got the code P0756. Google says it’s the shift solenoid. I don’t really have any experience with that. Can someone’s provide info?

 

calling @gearcruncher

 

Well that's the second shift solenoid which is used for engaging gears 3 and 4 if I'm not mistaken, and it says it is stuck off, so in theory it just needs a new shift solenoid or there is something physically jamming it. But as usual it could be low fluid or bad wiring too. Maybe @Jerry311SD has an idea?

If anyone wants to buy that truck, looks like this is it, unless I'm missing something. I bet you could get a good deal.
