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

Not really sure, got them when I bought the wheels through a guy on here. When I get home I can take a look

 

Yeah on an auto, the PNP switch & AFR sensor are combined to the same loomed harness and are only physically a few inches apart.

 

That's actually really common on the Nissan FS5W71C trans that you had, and that I have in the Z. Mine sounds like low range in the taco in 1-3rd, 4th is direct drive and very quiet, and 5th is quiet but substantially weaker than the others.

 

I'm digging the windoor on the Nest! About the only thing I envy about the GFC.

 

Yeah I was operator error though.... Towing a full uhaul trailer and full bed/camper and mattress on top of that, but towing in 5th gear from Seattle to Utah. In Idaho stopped and they told me what it likely was and the put in some power punch and I drove the rest of way on 4th lol.

 

Thanks guys, we will definitely check all the front suspension components. Right know the rig has 235,115 miles on the odometer, but aside of the saggy front it runs great. Last Sunday, we gave her a full tune up including both diffs fluids, spark plugs, gasoline filter, tranny fluid, air filter and engine oil and filter. Its a lot of fun to drive and gets a lot of attention too. I'll keep you posted tomorrow!!!

 

yes. im running a turbo setup not the trd supercharger so no comment on setuping up something to limit boost on that

 

i like that alot

 

Personally I replaced mine when it threw a code, P0136 (downstream one)

Should get the right sensor for your truck (manual vs auto) since the wiring length is different between the two

 

@Jaysjammin sorry to be a pest but do you happend to have the parts numbers for the OEM LBJ and OTR???

 

Let us know how that holds up my analog gauge from power tanks has a floating dial. So I need to replace the gauge with something better.

Cleaned my throttle body ,replaced my throttle position sensor. I tried to pull off my IAC but started to strip the last screw so that didn't happen. Went to go wheeling and my driver's side door handle broke. And heard something fall down the door so that should be fun.
Went wheeling.

 

Others may end up using it more often than myself.

I just got my tank filled Wednesday, and on my way home, someone was putting on their spare on the side of the road; it was flat

Tank sits at home until I drill into my bed and install the bracket.

 

Lol that whole post was entertaining! I'm glad you didn't let the BS keep you from getting out

 

Anyone who's dealt with a fan that seems like it's on even at higher rpm's? I had the battery disconnected for a long time due to doing a bunch of welding to the truck. Took it out for the first time in a while to fill the gas tank that I replaced. When I crack the throttle it sounds super loud like the clutch is still engaged. Is this because the computer is still sorting itself out? I feel like I remember this happening before but I can't remember.

The fan clutch is strictly mechanical. When they wear out they either, don't engage when it's hot enough to be engaged, or they seize up and are permanently locked up even on a cold engine
Edit: I think it's this way, at least on other Yotas they've all been mechanical. Haven't messed with the fan clutch in the taco yet.

 

I had to replace mine because it was stuck on. Man what a difference!

 

They’re still pure mechanical. Even the turd gens.

Toyota actually will sell you the shit to rebuild them

 

Is there harm in driving it stuck on? I am about to drive down to my buddies to weld my shock mounts on tonight, have about an hour drive, all highway.

 

Yeah on my 80 series Cruiser I drained the fluid from the fan clutch and put in a heavier more viscous fluid, you can get a hobby shop RC cars use it and stuff, so that the clutch would engage sooner and it helped keep things cooler during those hot hot weeks on the trails

 

You'll be fine. It'll just sound like it's trying to take off.
