1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Oh no

Still seeing what we can afford is what I meant

 

Damn, was gonna send you a bottle opener

 

Those openers arrived yesterday! The missus was so excited to show your stiff one to the other guys in the shop lol

I'll be getting your Newcastle handle in the mail today, flat rate USPS is cheaper than UPS so would you like it sent to your PO box or the other address you gave me?

 

Take your time, and PO box is best!

 

nah I ordered a pad and rotor on Amazon that should arrive while I'm gone. Had way too much to do last night getting stuff ready for the trip, Rebecca didn't have much time and they nearly missed their flight yesterday. I have to bring up a bunch of stuff, was gonna leave straight from work today but still need to go home and pack more. Gonna be a long drive tonight lol.

 

What're the odds valves have overtightened on 3rzs with ~200k miles, 50/50?

Would have a shop one over the specs before id buy, but looking at some with MT. One reg cab and one ext cab

 

hopefully they have some decent maintenance history, valve check/adjustment would be noted in there I'd guess

If no indication in the maintenance history or from the p.o., I'd assume it wasn't ever done.

 

They tighten up with mileage/age; based on their design it's what they do versus loosening up on other style engines.

Exhaust valves are notorious for doing that.

 

But at that mileage, it's due for clearance/adjustment.

Compression test would tell you a lot.

 

No shit, so a 2nd Gen and a 3rd Gen?

V6 or bust

I'd skip over the reg cab too if it were me

 

Mine had a burnt valve around there. So, it’s definitely possible.

 

Oh no

 

For the work ferd?

 

*wants to buy house*

*also, wants to throw money into suspension for a company-owned work truck*

 

I'll drive it for alot if years


And I can always take them off before they take it back

 

Who does the maintenance on it?
Your going to drop it off for an oil change and get it back with stock shocks and coils

 

I ride through with the truck

 

IME almost nobody does valve adjustments as PM on those. So many of them are driving around with burnt valves, then the owners complain about the truck getting 14 mpg and running rough.
