Meniscus

 

For sure! i have to get used to it, otherwise i'll install the stock clutch he also gave me and sell the rekluse for an exhaust

Guess how much i got it for~?~?

 

2300?? Have you rode a bike with a rekluse yet?

 

lol yeah right - Blue books at 3100.

But i got it for 2,600.

And no i haven't before i test drove this one.

 

No bad at all man, good deal. My buddy had A rekluse on his crf when they first came out. It didn't seem much different than a regular clutch besides the whole not having to worry about pulling in the clutch before shifting. And you could mash onthe brakes and not kill it. Comes in handy when jumping!

 

yeah this is true!

 

Got a question for you guys. When you are cruising on the highway and let off the gas does your truck continue to cruise and the current speed then start to slow down or does the truck install just lose all the power and take a drop in speed?

Cause mine just drops the speed instantly

 

Mine drops quick, damn tires and light rack lol

 

mine def drops instantly, my old ford floats like a butterfly tho

 

I'd say it depends on the gear, but generally floats a bit.

I might be going back to standard air filters after reading this:

My MAF and throttle were nasty.

 

Those look bright

but... this isn't a diesel forum and our truck dont have diesel engines. unless you have done a 4BT swap.

 

Unless I'm mistaken, air is still the same




In case any of you are looking for some cheap raingear, check this out

Also this set from Costco at $40

 

however the engine system is so different what works for them doesnt mean it will work for a tacoma... obvious imo

may as well go on a dirtbike forum and take advice.

 

You're not the only one bro, mine drops instantly as well. When I changed my rear differential fluid it seemed to cruise as I let off the skinny pedal but then it goes back to dropping speed. I kind of like it as I don't have to apply my brake as often or as sudden, depending on traffic.

Any of you guys been here? I've been here a few times and love it. Anyone want to grab some burgers soon?

Okay. Good to know its normal and not my truck

Never been there

 

At first I thought it was normal then I thought maybe it wasn't so I did some searching and many people said it's engine braking now to pin point a whining noise I hear on my truck when I step on the skinny pedal

Fresh Grill is pretty good IMO. A bit pricey but worth to try at least once if you and your wife decides to eat out.

 

The filter material is the same construction (aFe Pro Dry S is an aFe Pro Dry S, no matter the engine, stock AC Delco is going to just change shape, Amsoil is similar... so on).
Air intakes use the same science no matter the engine. Suck in cold air makes engine go putt putt.
A CAI for a diesel and a gas is still basically a PVC tube (or metal) with a filter at the end. They still do the same thing.

The point of the article shows how filter material stands up against particulate and flow, thus the information can be applied to pretty much all EFI engines, and most likely carbed as well since they also use filters in the same general use.

Once the air passes through the filter and goes to the next step, THAT is where the difference is. This article is not concerned with that. It is concerned with the air quality and flow that happens between the filter and whatever happens to be that next step.

 

I'm down.

Mitch my truck does the same thing but if you are really noticing a strong decrease in speed maybe you should put it up on jack stands and take it out of gear. Spin all the tires and see if you have any rubbing. Your tires are probably to blame though as they are knobby as all hell. Plus its not exactly very areodynamic


So I got a little sideways on the Hawthorne Bridge today during a good rain. Scared the shit outta me. Was only going about 20 MPH and a gust of wind or something just pulled the rear end out and pushed the tire right into the curb. Pretty sure its slicker then driving on pure ice... never again
