    That's an excellent question, in that list they had distinction between the wasted spark, direct fire, and distributor 1FZ-FE in terms of trigger and ignition equip so they know some yotas are different with the same engine... Obviously you can set it all up however you want in the end the presets are just there to help.

    Says it is on cam, so they're using a later dizzy model I suspect given the number of teeth.

    I've heard that companies are practically begging to hire right now, and living in TX there are plenty of places within an hour that do any kind of work imaginable. How long have you been with your company to end up 4 on 3 off?

    I started at 4/3, but I’m an engineering intern at a production company so it’s a bit different.

    most office people are on 4/3, so leads and foreman, safety people.

    operators are 7/7

    I’d try and find a safety job if I were you :rofl:

    I would if I could! Only thing is I'm pretty young and all my experience is in IT/Network stuff, I did metal building construction the summer before my senior year of HS where I was the designated steel walker/monkey and did everything else but weld. I'm just trying to get in wherever I can and start making better money. I got about 3 semesters into a mech engineering degree right after HS so I'm hoping I can make enough in the field to afford the rest of my degree and maybe even apply it to oilfield at that point.

    Coilovers are new from 2019, could probably use a rebuild though. Also read it could happen from being out of balance. Been over inflating on longer drives lately (35-36 psi) for the gas mileage but clearly it's negatively affecting the tires. Also been super lazy and done highway stretches (40 mins or more) aired down at 14 psi occasionally too :anonymous: Also might have rotated these tires once maybe since installed (40k miles).

    Clearly I have not been kind to these tires but I might actually rotate the shit now.
