What?!?! $700/hr for a brake job??? WTF did you order?

 

I had a BMW 3 series and the rear brakes cost over $600 to replace. Talk about a kick in the balls.

Yea yea yea, calm your horses.

 

Here you go. Pics of the new mirrors.

 

Rob said he wanted to trade trucks with me!

 

He's joking about helping me put change brake pads.

Did you get started on the maintenance yet?

Looks beefy! I like.

 

He ordered Wagner thermoquiet pads with the additional Pioneer HU mod haha. (but I'm joking anyway)

 

Rob your truck is dirty go clean it and give me my dam buffer back !

 

I see, musta missed that part

I haven't started with anything yet. There's a backlog of work to be done on my truck. So far, I've got the parts sitting at my house to rewire my light switches, change out the faulty PIAA relay, undercoat the frame, carpet the bed platform, change the plugs, air filter, cabin air filter and also the diffs/x-fer case. I need to find a new mechanic, mine sucks!

 

Thank You

Never!

Well stop working on other people's shit and get to work...

Hey I have plenty of industrial spray glue for the carpet. I can give you a couple of cans. And I volunteer to help you do your maintance when ever you want.

 

Hey, are you implying that I'm the crappy mechanic behind this?!?! You'd better hope that's not the case because otherwise you're rolling in an electrical fire waiting to happen and with a rear diff begging to drink in some water (jk, you know everything was installed correctly although I take no responsibility for the stuff Alex did...)

I might have to take you up on that industrial adhesive, I haven't figured out how to attach that stuff yet. I'm supposed to do a mod day when I do the maintenance, there are a few people who wanted to do the same stuff so we might as well collaborate. We could get the assembly line going!


Have any of you local guys had the driveline vibration TSB completed? The one that's supposed to cure vibrations between 15-20MPH? I'm thinking about ordering the parts and trying it out. I'll do the OME CB drop first just for kicks. When that doesn't work, the TSB parts will be next.

 

What is this tsb you speak of ? Got a link to more info ?

 

T-SB-0132-08 JUL 08 Drivetrain - Driveline Vibration Between 15 - 25 MPH

I've taken it to Toyota twice while it was under warranty for this vibration and both times they said they couldn't tell anything was wrong. It wasn't horrible so I let it go. It's now gotten pretty bad. I'm going to rotate the tires, rule that out just to be safe although H/T tires shouldn't cause vibrations, then install the OME CB drop kit just to see if it does anything, when neither of those work, I was debating buying the parts for the TSB.

Here's the complete TSB (attached)

Actually, here's my original thread:

There's a link to another thread that has a lot of good info on driveline vibration.

 

Interesting ... Thanks for the info mike

 

Girl just got hit and dragged down the street by a 18 wheeler in southie .

 

No problem, got vibes?

 

Damn! All I heard on the traffic report was there was a serious accident. I didn't hear details. That sucks. Did she survive?

 

It was 2 blocks up from my work . My security guard told me about it . He said she didn't make it . She was j walking and the rig couldn't stop in time .

 

More then you would believe . Can't go over 60mph right now .
Changed all the ujoints over the weekend . No help . I need to get my rear driveshaft balanced or I might grab a used one from rob . Money pit Tacoma .
