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

The bleeder valve on the clutch slave cylinder. If I am not mistaken I think you are talking about zerk fittings?

 

Mine cracks 200 also. But I'm in Phx and it's 114 degrees. You know its dam hot when you get in your truck at noon, for the first time of day and the temp gauge already is ready temperature.

 

Haha, your “yes” means that you sew?

If so, I’d like to pick your brain for finding the best material suppliers for that sort of stuff.

 

Upper/Lower Ball Joints. Inner/Outer Tie rods, Stabalizer Bar Links, an all Rack and Pinion Bushings. I have a job ahead of me. All of these MOOG parts are stamped "555" Same if not better than OEM in my opinion. All greasable.

 

This gon be good!

 

Use to sew. Can't any more because of a jacked up left hand. I always use a local company for all my materials.

 

take cover

 

are the AC bulbs "74"? one of mine burnt out. not looking to go LED, just need a standard bulb

 

I had completely flushed my whole system. Pulled the radiator and ran the hose through it then stuck the hose into the block and flushed all of that as well. Took a bit of time but it was easy work.

 

Well got my new Aisin fan clutch from RockAuto and some of the blades are bent wondering if it will affect it in anyway ?

 

Good info here:

Just bend them back?

 

Some of the corners are chipped off , I’m wondering if I should just get a replacement or install as is since i hate dealing with returns

 

I think they're for cooling the stuff inside of it so if you live in a super hot area that would probably make the most difference - I hear you about not wanting to wait. Little hang ups make these things take forever to complete.

 

Straighten them up and install it

 

don’t think this is a Zerk...

 

Lol sorry I wasnt thinking you could mean that when you said just in front of the transfer case - it's at the complete other end of the transmission

In other news I think I'm possibly in big trouble - the write up here makes it look like my slave cylinder is already completely compressed meaning my clutch fork isn't moving far back enough compared to how it did when my old transmission was in my truck.

Here's a pic from that write up. It looks like the slave cylinder in my truck so I'm guessing mine is completely compressed.

 

One side almost complete
