What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I'm just shy of 55k on the truck. Figured I'd change out the PCV. Hoping to avoid the dreaded leak in the future. The old PVC didn't look too bad which I take is a better sign than a gummed up sludgy one. It had a little oil on it but that's it

 

looks like just the rod holder i am looking for too - THANK YOU!

also - what spigot is that on your roto pax water can? Looks great.

Amazon special. Be gentle with it, you can cross thread it easily if you're moving fast. I had to use a small amount of teflon tape to get it to not leak. It also doesn't pour fast because there is no air back flow. You could put an air port on the high side which I've considered. If you go to a plastics place (like a place that makes water tanks for RV's) you could get them to rotoweld a new hold/plug/cap on the high side for cheap.

 

awesome, thanks, great tip.

 

2021 was the last model year for Texas-built Tacos.

 

looks great!

 

That looks sweet!!

 

I've used the same on my truck same color as yours and it is fantastic!

 

Installed some CaliRaised Cat Shields yesterday!

 

This literally had me cracking up dude

 

Is this PCV leak issue for the 4cyl as well?

 

I had a hard time being a loving husband ......;-)

 

Might be my last post on here. I have a stalker. I’m pretty sure that penis wrinkler keyed my truck. I was on the fence about taking off the 4x4 decal. Now I’m on one side of that fence. Police have been informed. What a fucking loser.

 

That sucks! Hope they get the "piece of trash". Hang tough

 

The prevailing theory is a gunked up PCV can cause higher pressure in the case which could lead to the dreaded timing cover leak.

No idea if that's true or a coincidence but for $16 it's easy possible preventative maintenance.

Lots of tacomas not just 3rd gens get this. It's just damn expensive to fix. Requires pulling the motor I believe.

 

Find a good detailer; maybe they can buff most of that out?

 

Father’s Day presents: #1 is on the Cheap Mods thread, this is #2 - interior LED lights (plus license plate lights). #3 is bed lights but I didn’t do my research that access cabs need to buy the switch as well. So that one stays in the box until I buy one.

 

I have a neighbor with an F-150 and every time he walks by he has to say, "That is such a good looking truck" and I haven't done any wheel or suspension mods.

 

When you get up to it, it’s worse than the pics. You can see paint hanging off, and metal poking through. Some of it might buff out but I doubt 70% would.
Mostly annoyed that this person keeps following me.

 

the pro used to be made in texas.......now? maybe not?
