1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

On the upside, the billionaires have taken to running themselves over with the trolly as well.

 

It's 50/50 now, but they have the money to fix those odds so best to nip that in the bud...

 

I’m looking for a new gas cap, would OEM be worth it at $27 in this case?

 

Just go to Napa and get the Balkamp or Stant one, either way you'll get a Stant. They're good

 

Ok, is there a good replacement charcoal canister in case that’s leaking?

I’m hoping I don’t have a leaking injector or fuel rail from when the shop replaced the knock sensors. I’ve just noticed the smell recently tho.

 

Nope, that's an instant 5-700 bill if the charcoal can went tits up. Only maker is Toyota anymore. Chances are it's a busted hose on or near the tank tho and not the charcoal can

 

Oh wow. For the 80 series I remember people saying there was a good cheap replacement at Autozone for the charcoal can. I wonder why it’s so expensive for the Tacoma. Hopefully it’s not common for them to fail anyway.

 

It's not a small round can full of charcoal on a Tacoma, the 80 uses a generic Toyota part that fits lots of other Toyotas and happened to fit a generic GM part too. The Tacoma uses one purpose built for the Tacoma and runner. They don't fail much though

 

This was the one for the 80 series. Even the Autozone one is 300 bucks for the Tacoma. That’s crazy.

Is it common for the hoses to leak around the gas tank? It’s a really faint smell and I feel like it’s be stronger if they were actually leaking.

Common? You have a 27 year old truck, rubber has a lifespan. The overfill hose can crack and, so can the fuel filler neck sometimes. The breather hoses for EVAP can crack or break too.

Your CVs would probably be crying too

 

I might see if there’s a shop around with a smoke machine if I can’t find an obvious leak somewhere.

 

Ugh...not looking forward to that

 

You don't have an 80 series tho
