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

Has anyone moved or removed their cruise control module to fit a dual battery? If so....gat any pics.....and yes I looked at the dual batt setup thread

 

Is this the correct 18" magnaflow I'd need on a 3.4L?

I just moved mine down a bit and put a second battery there

 

Can be. No real wrong 18" one..

 

Oh. Ha. I just wasn't sure on sizing and pipe orientation. I clearly haven't gotten under the truck and looked lately. You have a 14 right?

 

Yea mine is the 14". Love it. The 18 is good though too.

 

Do you still have a battery in the stock spot?

 

So my radiator hose up top is leaking... Do I need to drain the radiator to swap in a new hose?

 

Of course.

 

Is it definitely the hose or did the radiator crack right there? To swap the hose id drain just enough that you dont spill it everywhere and swap it. No reason to drain it completely unless you want to swap the fluid

 

Holy hell, how fast does the truck crank over with all those amps!?

 

Thats an awesome way to setup a dual battery

 

Nice. I'm trying to decide between the two. I wish I could find someone local with one that I could hear. YouTube clips just don't don't do it for me.

 

THANKS!!! That is exactly what I was looking for! Just making sure it's possible, not that I ever use cruise control anyways being that living on an island where traffic is horrible

Oops quoted the wrong thing but you know what I mean LOL....the dual batt set up

 

Well they are separate actually unless I connect them with a solenoid and a switch in the cab. It's very handy for self jumping.

The second battery is for my stereo, lights and cooler. And back up.

Other battery is just the main stock battery, starts the truck and runs the truck like stock.

Yea man! I like it. Works well.

They never do for many many reasons.

I'm sure you'll be happy with the 18 though. Honestly, it's the best all around muffler for a dd rig/weekend warrior. Sound pleasant, not to loud but plenty of rumble and still belts when you give it the skinny pedal.

The 14 is just loud all around for the most part...but man it's fun.

 

Definitely hose, can see where it is coming out the sides of both ends. Just old rubber... Thx for advice. Hopefully I have enough extra fluid haha.

 

Ha good point..

You bet man.

Long as you don't have abs itll fit easy.

 

If its not old just use a very clean container and put the fluid you drain back in

If this is a terrible idea somebody will chime in

 

I drained and replaced fluid less than 6 months ago. What you suggested sounds like it would work providing everything was laboratory clean. I do have some extra fluid but not sure how much.

 

Sweet. I think I'll give the 18 a shot. Thanks.
