1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

That's not very Demi Moore of you or whatever these kids are saying nowadays

 

Not very mindful either

 

Ironically Adam Sandler doesn't look much different than Steve Buscemi is trying to act.

 

This guys truck is sweet. Homemade 3-Link on a D44. Super low slung truck. Hidden Instinct on YouTube I believe.

 

Oh I didn't realize that, trucks pretty cool, dude kills shit

 

I’ve been meaning to do this. I checked today. Timing marks look ok.

Compression test resulted in 170ish psi on all cylinders.

so it’s one of the inputs to the engine causing this. The engine is ok.

 

What model year is the engine and computer from?

 

I was due for a random old boomer approaching me while I’m in my flatbed at the gas station. Happens at least once every ~3 months.

They all drive 2nd gen white Tundras and start talking about the flatbed and how they’re surprised such a little truck has a flatbed. Then they talk about how reliable Toyotas are and proceed to tell me they get 20mpg and have 6 million miles on their Tundras. This dude was wearing wraparound sunglasses, goatee, long hair, and was blasting creed. The last gentlemen was a bit older and dressed like a rancher.

 

Is that when you tell them you use it to haul ass and then you have a hearty guffaw together?

 

" yea, the flatbed makes it easier to pick up your mom for date night "

 

apparently it all came from a 1998. Engine, ecm, harness.

 

also, has it been running shitty since the swap or is this a new change?

 

He is a straight killer. Pretty wicked.

 

I bought it with this engine in it, and if I recall correctly it ran ok. But shortly after i had fuel system issues. One of the hoses in the tank disintegrated and it wasn’t pulling in fuel. So I used quick start to see if it was a fit el system issue to figure out what was up at first. And since then, I’ve had rough running problems. And it’s getting worse.

as of recent, it also just has a random intermittent misfire when idling. I tried hooking up an OBD2 port to check codes but didn’t have any luck getting a connection to the ecm.

 

Didnt know you were a flatbed guy too...Pics or it didnt happen

 

There use to be two people on that channel, I think the dude that actually built it left.

 

Seems that way.

 

huh I'll have to check it out instead of being a hater from afar

 

This is the e latest from the new mechanic. Any thoughts? Should I have him do a bore scope/wet test? He quoted almost $900 for a new crank gear and sensor. Do I go ahead with that and just gamble that it’ll run fine after that?
