1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Guess I better try doing one. My at home coffee skills were decent this morning or as I like to say with this mug "cowfee"

 

That's a lot of ingredients for coffee at home. I usually stop after the coffee part haha

 

Ooof. Gone are the days of fancy coffee, hell even creamer for me. Black coffee all the way. If you get decent stuff, doesn't need sweetness up. But that does look good I'll admit.

 

A buddy makes a good living overhauling the transmissions on those GM trucks and SUVs. They overhaul about 6 every week. Everybody I know has had a failure. Then the stepper motors in the gauges fail.

But oh they have brand loyalty.. I ain't a gonna drive nutting but a shivalay.

 

Do you like to do things the hard way for no real reason?

 

Get a new Nissan Armanda for cheap. Even cheaper when they come off of a 3-year lease. The VK56 will haul ass. Almost as good as a 2UZ.

I bet I could go buy this for $19,000 -- and have one year free interest and no payments.

Have you messed with the adjustable intake runner crossover point and VVT-i set points much. I just wonder how far down the RPM scale you can put the torque peak

 

no, I just run the FMW tune on the OE ecu, no haltech for me yet

 

I thought those OE ECUs are fully tunable with HP tuners tho or at least mostly adjustable

 

Well that's no fun, no one wants to bother learning all the tables and their axis from scratch in WinOLS for a minivan engine either I'd guess.

 

@Speedytech7 saw this come up down the road. I guess I should assume it’ll need that $3500 injector pump sometime soon. He said it’s been mostly sitting for the past 4 months.

 

How long can a basic parts store car battery sit 'dead' before it becomes un-rechargeable

 

Dealerships have a glut of inventory rn, including the new Tacomas. Nobody’s paying 50 grand for a midsize pickup anymore.

 

Also I don’t know they came with this fugly front end lol

 

Don't grab their oldest battery

 

Flooded cells don't like sitting dead or near dead but they can be brought back pretty well with a charger that can de-sulphate

 

More worried about my current battery lol

So I take it repeatedly jumping the truck hoping the alternator would do the work was not the right approach..
I'll throw it on the trickle this afternoon and see what happens overnight, pretty sure my NOCO charger can de-sulphate
