How you treat your baby...?

Its a Toyota truck, my last toyota ruck before this one had 360,000 miles on it and still ran when I sold it.

 

Im with you neph although seeing that Chris doesnt do it means it probly aint all that neccessary, but hell it's a quirk of mine. I just hate to load it all up when it just woke up

 

Get in, start her up, buckle Up, listen for sec or two, put her in gear, and I am out there.

So I fall into start her up and slam her into gear category

 

Hey Chris good info here-only problem is I dont think I'd be able to make the mental hurdle LOL too set in my ways-actually I think subconciously Im warming MYSELF up!!

 

Unlock door
Get in seat
Turn on truck
Close door
Windows down
Stereo on
Seat belt
Place truck in gear
Drive away

 

It doesn't get washed and waxed like I want it to, but it is pretty clean on the inside. I drive pretty conservative, the engine has never seen 4000 rpm. I still run dinosaur oil, Pennsoil 5w-30, which is changed between 3000-5000 miles, and it's lubed every oil change. It's never been in mud, don't really have any trails around me to go to, so the undercarriage is pretty clean. Every year I have it Ziebarted, I swap out the aluminum rims for steelies during the winter months to keep the shineys out of the salt.

 

I get in redline it for like 30 seconds then put it in gear and drop the clutch.. lol

 

If its a cold start I let 'er idle for 30 secs or so just to get the blood pumping.

Warm start... lets the RPMs go down and put her in gear.

 

-Start her up
-Roll windows down
-Crank music up
-Put her in gear
-Hit the peddle

-Enjoy!! \m/

 

Nice and easy.

 

thats what she said

 

really? i thought you just let it sit in the garage doing nothing while continuously sinking money into it and entering it in races that you're too lazy to go to

 

hahaha!

 

Start and go. Try to avoid over 3k RPM until the temp gauge is at normal. It's a truck, and a toyota at that. No point in excessive babying. Plus it's Arizona so no extreme cold. (Summer who cares, the engine runs around 240F anyway, wth is 120F going to do?)

My 3000GT though... Start. Idle 3-5 min. Under 2200 rpm's until temp gauge is normal. Proceed to redline every shift, entire drive. Last few miles before stop, back off to 2200 (magic number for boost), idle 5-10 min, depending on last boosted run. I was really really wishing I had a turbo timer.

 

Right now Im driving a 60K Tunner, and Usually I hop in Start it up.. raise the suspinsion, and try to keep it around 1800 RPMs.. If you ride it too hard you can blow a Hydro hose and then your f**ked

 

So have you asked TacoArk if she's been enjoying that??
