What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

I tried buffing the original ones but they didn't come as clear as I had hoped, so I bought housings off a member on here

 

Mine aren't so bad, so we'll see how it goes.

 

I've seen people buff theirs to practically new looking, I just got a little lazy haha. Good luck

 

Sounds enticing....

 

Bought this...

 

Gonna tackle the jiggle valve tomorrow, just double checking the needle needs to be at the 6 o'clock position and if it already is then what are my options? Get a new thermostat?

 

Got my allpros! Any advise for the install? Already have new ubolts. What order should i install thrm in? Axle then shackle or shackle then axle? Do i unbolt thr shackle from yhr frame or leave it be? I work tom till about noon? But gonna try to maybe get them.in between 12 and 6...

I didnt get any stickers

 

On another note

Should my chck engine light.come on with my key on (not running)?

(Its not)

 

You need a BPV relocate bracket, possible extended brake line, and possible extended exhaust hanger. And don't forget to adjust your headlights.

Please tell me my tranny isn't going out!

01 double cab 4x4 auto

So for the passed few days it's felt a little weird going into drive, today it's gotten worse I have to pull hard to get it into drive or a lower gear. It seems to shift fine once I'm in gear but hard to get in and out.

 

Shifter linkage to tranny maybe? I dont know much about the autos

 

I'm hoping so

But I know nothing about trannys. fluid level is fine btw

 

I did have an error code for a shift solenoid but cleared it and it never came back and the from researching other people had the same code and never did anything and all was fine

this was the code P0750

 

engine light came on today, plugged in the code reader and after several attempts, it kept saying error connecting to vehicle over and over again. anyone ever come across this problem? bad fuse somewhere maybe?

 

Get new main eye bolts, might have to cut them out, I did and they didn't stock them at the dealership either.

I bolted them on to the main eye and shackle first, you have to remove the shackle, then bolted to the axle.

 

Hmmm can i sustitute reg grade 8 bolts?

So unbolt.shackle.from truck thrn unbolt leafs from shackle then.axle from.leafs?

Anyone on the chck engine light? Should it be on with key on?

Approx how.long should it take a noob (to tacos not auto/susprnsion work) to swap leafs out?

 

Yeah you can but need metric so 10.8 or something like that, I did, think they were 14mm not easy to find, I had to go to fastenall and use washers untill I swapped them out.

jack up truck, support axle/frame, unbolt ubolts, shackle, main eye bolt. not sure if it really matters, but I did ubolts first. also support the drive line so it wont drop out.
