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

That's how shops stay in business. You're paying for overhead.

 

@Timmah! has a good video on doing the timing belt, if you decide to tackle it. Not sure if he has one for a clutch install but I'd be surprised if he didn't.

 

He does not have one for a clutch installation. I wish he did. There are some done by other people that are helpful, but none as good as a @timmah one would be. It’s not a complicated job, just a little time consuming.

 

Ah that's surprising but I guess it makes sense since he usually uses his T4R for his videos, and it's an auto...I'm pretty sure anyway

I wouldn't be surprised if he makes one eventually using someone else's Tacoma

 

watched it the other day, just scared of the consequences if i fuck up.. lol

 

3.4 is a non-interference engine so even if you do fuck it up, at least it's not going to cost you a new engine. Just have to start over and figure out where you went wrong lol.

 

I always fucking forget!!!!!! definitely going to do it myself.

 

There aren't any, the engine is non interference, at most you lose some time and have to manually retime the engine

 

Zipties really help to get it all right. If all goes well I'm going to time the Z engine tonight, now that I do not want to fuck up, that engine is interference haha

 

Got these bad boys and got them on

 

Are there two temp sensors on the 3.4? My Obd reader is reading 260 and the guage is where it should be. Not sure which one to trust

 

Finished lower ball joints (started Tuesday) by replacing the left outer tie rod I damaged when I got impatient with the original. Moog grease-able.

Anybody notice the missing part?

 

Yes, gauge has it's own sender and obd has a more sensitive one in the head

 

Bumpstop?

 

So I should rely on the one in the head? Trying to limp the truck home

 

Yes provided it isn't broken

 

Good chance it is. Radiator crack is much worse now and the new Rad is sitting in my garage ..

 

Yeah if she's not holding pressure overheats happen a lot faster. Don't let it go nuclear, suck to do the heads

 

theres a temp sensor at the front of the engine for the ecu and the one for the gauge is on the rear of the engine on the intake manifold towards thew driver side
