PennSilverTaco's "Perfect 5-Lug Regular Cab" Build, Aspergers, and General BS MegaThread!

Duh, that's what they are in business to do!

 

It's crazy that people are just thinking that their second gens are just so desirable that the dealers must have them.

 

157,000, original clutch.

 

I'm on my 3rd @ 106,000 . The first one lasted about 14,000 miles until the s/c blew through it. The 2nd URD stage 2 lasted about 70,000 miles but I ended up tearing it up from wheeling abuse. The current stage 3 URD is doing great even after being mean to it in moab. I'd imagine with stock size tires and dd duty, the oem clutch would last 150k +

 

My nearby dealership asks to buy my Tacoma back monthly for the 'excellent condition' KBB value + $5000 off a new Toyota. Highly skeptical and never expressed interested - I don't need them pumping up the MSRP by $5000 on the 4Runner TRD pro that I really want. And I still really like my truck.

 

Second owner and have the original clutch at 200k, bought it at like 50k. I also drive a good distance on country high ways for work and am purposefully really easy on it, but there was a time when I four wheeled and was really hard on the clutch. I have ran one size up BFG alterains for around 80k, those suckers still have good tread. Im holding out, but I have TRD sport wheels I am gonna put on with some new less aggressive tires.

 

But for what price,that's the catch.

 

I am going to buy my wife a TRD pro 4Runner when her Subaru lease is up. 14 months to go!!!!

 

What any book says,and what a buyer is willing to pay are 2 very different things.

 

don't know. The only way they'd get my truck from me is if they traded me a brand new one free and clear, lol. I don't ever want to have a car loan again.

 

Is it?

under the Tacoma, RockAuto lists LUK LFW260 as the flywheel for $70.79 (I searched '08 4.0 V6), and from what I hear on other cars, LuK is a respectable OEM flywheel manufacturing company.
RockAuto also lists Sachs NFW9130 {#3021600274} for $234.79. Much pricier than the LuK but still cheaper than >$400.
I've noticed a flywheel for an Audi, Subaru, and Honda all seem to be around $200 if it's dual mass.

I've heard before that DMF's (Dual Mass Flywheels) cannot be resurfaced. Or that it's very difficult to do and requires expensive tooling, versus a single mass. And resurfacing may not address the other parts that can wear out in a DMF, vs. a more simple design SMF.

I'm honestly not sure if the Tacoma has DMF or SMF, or if it makes a difference. Such as if another can be fitted.
In my experience on German street cars, people sometimes want to take out the DMF's in favor of an SMF for crisper engagement, lighter weight, and cheaper cost; plus the DMF's destiny of eventually flying apart in shrapnel pieces puncturing the bell-housing.

But if those cars use a small 4-cylinder engine (less balanced than a V6, V8, etc.) then switching in an SMF might lose some smoothness feeling.
FluidAmpr's can help with that but they're like $300-400 just for a crankshaft pulley/damper.

 

133k miles. V6. 6 speed. Chirpy TOB.
