What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

What he said. I used Dynamat Extreme and it greatly improved the sound quality and reduced road noise in the truck. Pretty inexpensive and easy mod with a great payoff

 

You people with the sound padding... Have you been doing the inside of the door skins? Any problems with absorbing/retaining water?

 

How much Noico did you use sqft wise? Was the $300 all on the Noico?

 

Did door skins and inside metal structure panels no problems with moisture.

 

I did inside and outside. No problem what so ever with water, but I also live in the desert and rain is something that we've almost completely forgotten about.

 

I ask because I'm in the Great White (with road salt) North and I wouldn't want that salt water hanging around any longer than necessary.

 

Yeah I wouldn't imagine it being a problem at all

 

i'd say he speaks for most of us have you thought about a chevrolet?

 

Looks like their Allstar Bling Edition.

 

Awesome. Thank You!

 

Yes. I did everything. Inside and outside of the door skin as well as the door panel. I have had no issues with absorbing/retaining water.

 

Changed my oil and somehow managed to break bits of plastic from the filter housing. Truck was cold and I had the oil filter socket.

Anyone know of a better aftermarket part?
Thx.

 

I believe Toyota sells an aluminum one. Dang.

 

Toyota "We give you plastic, so you can buy our metal!"
Should be their new motto.

 

How about OEM?

Our volvo had a nylon housing and cartridge filter. We sold it at 140k with no problems. It was the shape of a typical metal filter and the tool would always get stuck on there, so it was a lot of lefty and righty twisting to get both the housing and tool off.

I always use a torque wrench because with my hand feel, gutentite is never enough.

 

Why thank you sir.

 

No problem!

Just curious. Did the dealer do services on your Taco? I'm still under 10k, so that has me nervous. I did a 5k myself.

 

This maybe?

How do we get in on a group buy and how much of a discount does it offer?

 

I run the OEM Aluminum housing with no problems. I installed it at 3K mi with first oil change that I did.
