We didn't have a SWR meter to measure, he's going to have the tuning done later in the week.

 

What kind of antenna are you running? With a Firestik, it's been my experience you can almost run them without tuning. They're very "fat" in bandwidth and so very forgiving of not being tuned so long as the rest of the install is done properly. However, any antenna should be tuned.

 

Not sure what brand antenna @Ace115 has installed. He also had a Wilson fiberglass one as a backup, both 3' I think.

I'm running a Wilson 'Lil Will magnetic mount on my truck and haven't tuned that. Seems to pick up transmissions just fine when I tested it in my driveway. Again, no SWR meter.

 

The brand is ‘Barian’

It’s a 3’ fiberglass antenna.

After some research I found out it’s an old “trucker” brand. If anyone knows anything about tuning it, I’d appreciate the info. If not I’ll just switch over to the Wilson I have on standby.

TIA

 

So i bought this truck a few months ago and did a few things along the way. AAL, 2 inch spacer lift (im a student no not much $$$), rain guards, pioneer head unit, browning seat covers, modified my ford ranger tool box to fit, silverstar light beams, cut my front mud flaps 2 inches for a better look and a few other things. Love this truck i bought it bone stock. Today i painted the grill back and the corner light trims i must say it gives the truck an awsome look. I got some black offset rims that i am putting 31s duratracs on in the spring. Did i mention i live this rare gem?

 

Level kit

New bumper this week.

 

Got a lot of work to do on the 02 prerunner i got in new balls joints tire rods & 2in wheel spacers for my 33's that also just came in & clock spring went out & so did my motor on my window & had to order longer studs for the spacers Previous to this i had done my whole break & disks & wheel cylinders & calibers if anyone needs any info holler i'll be posting pics after everything goes on

 

Anything metal.can be used to receive. It's transmitting where the antenna being tuned comes into play.

 

Ok... So, I've actually searched this and think I know the answer.

What is the total fluid capacity of an A340F? Everytime this question is asked, it turns into a "you only get about 4 quarts out of the trans when doing a drain and fill."

This is not just dropping the pan, this is for installing a new (to me) trans that has been been both upside down as well as standing on end opposite the TC.

I know there is still fluid in there, but it has been drained far beyond what just dropping the pan will drain it.

I'm looking for the answer to how much trans fluid should I buy here? I'm 99% sure the answer is 10 qts.

 

Yeah it'll be fine for those

 

I thought t-case and front diff got

$30 75w-90 Synthetic Gear Lube - 1 Quart (Pack of 2)

75w-90

 

I have not done the wiring yet as I'm deciding on a switch, but I spent time researching the Service Manual Wiring Diagram in order to PROPERLY disable ABS on the fly without pulling fuses.

Here are the details: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/abs-disable-on-the-fly-no-removing-fuses.592588/

 

It's plenty close enough, you can put in 80-140 if you wanted too. He's not in Alaska or Maine so it won't affect anything

 

I put

$30 75w-90 Synthetic Gear Lube - 1 Quart (Pack of 2)

75w-90 in the diffs and MT-90 in both t-case and trans on my 5 speed.

 

Lol... Just makin sure. Was literally headed out the door to buy fluids for my front diff and t-case. With intentions of buying

$30 75w-90 Synthetic Gear Lube - 1 Quart (Pack of 2)

75w-90
