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

Yeah it's weird how many have no concept of reality, throw in an architect and wow you've got problems.

 

Finally! Bought my cat converters. Wanted to go oem but don't have the $. Went with direct fit magnaflow 50 states legal and can wait to get them on, my truck has been screaming for them. Also ordering denso O2 sensors from rock auto.

I ordered through advance auto parts because of the 30% discount ($50 max per order) that someone posted on here. I placed 2 separate orders and got $100 off total
Just an FYI for anyone shopping for parts

 

Man... screw all yall badmouthin engineers

 

Lol

I said many, not all

And I'm sure you guys badmouth us lowly folk too

 

The pan bolts screw into the transmission case not the pan it's self. Changing the pan would nit change the fact you stripped the threads in the case.

 

lol, I've been welding for ten years and am This close to being a structural engineer.. can't wait

 

No it would not but it's not one of the pan bolts, it's the drain plug.

If it were just one of the bolts drill and tap, no need for an inset.

 

Structural Engineering is a sub-discipline of Civil Engineering. So, all structural engineers are civil engineers but not all civil engineers are structural. Structural engineers focus on the forces applied to members and how those forces are transferred to the earth.

 

Haha my roommate would if he even knew what a fabricator was. Kid pisses me off, bastard thinks he is better than everyone just cause daddys money pays for everything and persuaded him to be an engineer instead of a public speaker.

The little f'er probably doesn't even know how to operate a box end wrench, I could show him my garage and he might know what 3 tools were out of the hundreds I have.

Man I could not be a structural engineer, I'm taking statics for my Mechanical Engineering major and it has gotten so complex it sucks

 

All I saw was transmission pan and pan bolt won't stop spinning. Could still use one of the oversized drain plugs if need be.

 

There are engineers and then there are good engineers.

The ones that infuriate me the most are the know-it-alls that actually do know it all.

 

a+ib "complex" or no longer simple "complex"?

 

no haha

 

eigenvalues are my friends, except when they wander off into the right-hand plane. They tend to get a little unstable after that.

 

Bode plot to the rescue!

 

Well, i did a Bode plot of my truck today and found out I've got plenty of phase and gain margin so my truck should be fairly stable for awhile.

 

Did a retrofit
