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

Just shove a piece of spare rubber hose through the center of the banjo, that'll block it well enough

 

@turbodb has a write up too I’m almost positive.

It’s too hot outside to go find it though haha.

 

I should be home in a hour lol go inside where it's air conditioned lol

 

The $35 powerstop lines I got from Rock Auto should work just fine for them as well

 

With some wooden cattle racks!

 

I am looking for a higher amp alternator does anyone know where I can get one?

 

You can do what @Blackdawg did put a GMC 144 alternator. That'll definitely pump some juice

 

According to Zane, the right way to sound deaden the floor is to remove the factory tar paper.



Not a fun project in the least. The perfect tool for the job seemed to be my "her first tool kit plastic chisel." Aka .



I heard you could remove it with a hammer - the only way I can see that happening is if you're outside at night during a record setting cold snap in some God forsaken frigid climate.

As far as it possibly trapping moisture, the material is too stiff to conform to some of the stamped valleys in the floor and kind of kept stuff like sand in my case stuck under there. If you got enough water from other sources like super rainy days getting in and out a bunch or a leak in the firewall, I could see the tar mat keeping it from evaporating quickly from preventing air from circulating over the water.

Thanks @Speedytech7 - that was a fun date night with my truck

 

I sense some resentment haha.

When I put my junk back together I hit a bunch of it off just by banging it with a mallet

 

@BamaToy1997

Got one from this guy.

 

I was so pleased with myself when I thought I was finished after the "Great Stuff" debacle.



Anyway, it's good advice. The worst parts were in the tight little changes in the bottom. Vertical parts came right off w/o any force.

 

Didn’t he have to modify/fabricate something for it to fit?

I can’t do that my self I am useless

 

I think he just shaves down the collar on one side a bit

 

See that’s something i need. What was the price tag on that?

I was looking at the mean green alt but it’s $400+

 

Ahhh okay that isn’t to bad.

 

DC power

 

Ok guys I need some help ASAP, I’m on my mail route (in my truck) and I have intermittent throttle loss, when I have throttle it runs like normal but sometimes drops the throttle.
No codes or pending codes, the only thing I found was the TPS value on the scanaguage would stay at 19 (idle) when requesting throttle but no power, when it was operating normall the TPS value would act normal.

 

$300 iirc

 

That’s high for TPS did you look under the hood to see if the butterfly wasn’t getting stuck?

 

Okay I’ll message him thank you.
