1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

One thing that I noticed with my kids and them enjoying SCCA. Time spent playing Forza Motorsports was a good thing. They already had their reactions trained for the cone signals at the track.

 

Haven't see this before... somebody lopped off an entire front end to sell. Maybe handy if you're looking to do a Prerunner conversion?

Probably doing a sas swap and just cut it all off now trying to get rid of it

 

Something's wrong, my 3rz with 120 psi of compression on all cylinders when hot is smooth as glass

 

I'm going down to LIT to do some business with Ozark Outdoor Supply. I feel bad for them cause Walmart kind of ripped off their branding.

Hungover huh

 

Open to suggestions on what to check. I just did the plugs and the old ones looked good when they came out. Valve clearances are on the short list for when I have time (which won't be for a few weeks). I don't have a compression tester available at the moment but could probably do that when I get to checking the valves. Anything else?

The truck idles comfortably at under 1k RPM (don't remember the exact number... maybe 6-8k?), it just isn't perfectly smooth. You can hear it and feel it through the gear shift (manual transmission).

For whatever it's worth, it's been like that since I got the truck over 18 months ago. The mechanic that inspected it at that time gave a clean bill of health apart from a P0420 (bad cat) code that I've been driving around with.

 

Naaaaw more like I'm hungry and don't wanna get up

Then going out again in a few hours

 

Do a comp test to see if ones firing harder than the others if that's the case there's nothing you can really do

 

No. Just specialty tools if we need them for the buses. I bought my own box and tools.

We share a lot of tools too so that’s another thing. But I like having my own meter. I have a Fluke 115 and a 323 clamp meter at home, but I don’t want to give those up for my home garage.

 

I need to come out there and treat you and the wife to lunch haha. Too damn busy I can’t even find time to work on my own shitboxes, I’m fixing other peoples shitboxes

 

At least you always have good intentions Tyler!

Miguel just tugs the heart strings

 

I would upgrade the home meter to a 87V and bring one of those to work. Unless you want a 500$ meter for work. Or a 179 but its DC isnt as accurate in miliamps.

i kinda wanna get a fluke 233 for work too

 

$500!? oh that’s rich, that cost more than all the tools in my work toolbox.

 

Ok.. I better leave town for the day. I need to stop looking at this one before I do something crazy.

 

Quality is pricey
Sometimes being able to measure .01 DC amps is needed and making sure its .01 and not .015 is important.
Atleast for a few things i ran across. Ik you like playing with DCstuff

or be like me at work and have multiple meters for different things. Got a meter from 150$ to 1000$ lol

 

I even have a $450 humidity sensor….

 

@Sperrunner or someone here with a 1st Gen bed accessible, what's the width of the lip on the bedsides?

Preferably a measurement without a drop-in bed liner.
