1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Any 12v vsv will work. From just about any car. Just make sure it matches the behavior of the original. But you need the EGR functioning, especially because your idle makes now sense it should be around 750, but I think the EGR is stuck making it fluctuate.

 

I’m surprised they passed the EGR visual with such a glaring mistake.

 

No one wanted to get all up in there on that POS

 

@Speedytech7 you had Alcans on your Tacoma right? What did that run you

 

Nope, I had heavy duty Dakars. @Digiratus, @turbodb, @Blackdawg (even though I think yours are hand me downs).

 

Ah yeah maybe I mixed you up with one of them, I knew at least a couple of you guys did.

Thought I remembered reading they were in the ball park of $700

 

The hose from the charcoal canister to the throttle body was swapped with a hose that idk wtf it does. Dont know how much that matters

 

Plz do it in beautiful Rust-Oleum blue

 

Yeah, right about. Depending on options... I always wanted the orbit eyes

 

Mine were right around there, you might go read @turbodb s thread about centering the axle before you order

 

Ha I was just reading about those, looks fancy

 

I still need to do that too, rear thrust angle is off cause it's slightly askew. Gonna have my brother in law staying with us for a little while next month and I'll out him to work helping me do this shit. I'm probably going to pull the Expos off and reinstall to see if I can't get rid of the clunking from the main eye (passenger side) once and for all. If that doesn't work I'm getting the Alcans. These Expos have done this since day 1. Bushings are good yada yada

 

I think my Alcans squeak too, can’t remember, haven’t driven it since March

 

I don't mind the squeaking that's just characteristic of leaf springs especially when you play in the dirt. It's the constant knocking that's driving me insane. Like someone is knocking their fist on the side of my truck where that main eye is every time I accelerate or flex the rear

Only thing that makes it go away temporarily (sometimes) is if I douse that bushing and main eye with PTFE spray or a hose. But I have to do it almost every day.

 

Well I haven’t had a problem with mine, but I don’t have very high standards either so

 

We know

 

In other news I didn't get all the slag off but this was probably the best-worst one I did this morning lol. I need to work on slowing down and keeping it closer to the metal

 

Maybe ill but a super duty and a 15’ trailer then i dont gotta smog anything

 

Mine were still better

What kind of welder you get?
