going from 2nd gen tacoma to 1st gen.....thoughts???

D'oh!

 

im at work now, but i'll give ya an answer when i get home..........hopefully we got power/internet back from the storms we had last night!!1 i'll be glad to help ya with all the maintenance.

 

I've never done the tranny, but the diff. are relatively easy, especially the rear.

 

ok.....here goes...........so far, i have spent alot on the maintenance i have done so far(and what i will be doing this weekend too), but alot of it, like cleaning the throttle body, fuel filter, lubing the throttle cable and stuff like that was just for my piece of mind, but its easy to do too, and it helps alot, so i did that. the oil change was about $35-40.........because i ran mobil1 and a

$15 m1-102 / M1-102A extended performance oil filter

m1-102 filter, and techron in the gas tank, plus a can of seafoam..........ran it thru the brake booster line....really helps. the spark plugs cost me around $20, gonna do them this weekend along with draining the transmission pan and cleaning the screen, t-iv transmission fluid was $6 a quart at the dealer, but you come out cheaper buying a case, which was around $65 or so...........so i got a case of it and 3 extra quarts, so im gonna do that(pan drain/screen cleaning) now and im gonna get the whole tranny flushed shortly thereafter.....plus gonna add a tranny cooler too, and for the diffs and transfer case..........gonna do that this weekend also, $10 a quart for mobil1 75w90, i got 6 quarts to be on the safe side. if you dont wanna run synthetic, you can get some decent regular gear(lucas, castrol,valvoline,etc) for relatively cheap compared to the mobil1, probably right around $3 to 6 a quart. agfain......i went with synthetic for peace of mind, and i like synthetic anyway......plus i want to get this truck in awesome shape. gonna get an afe pro dry s filter and do the deckplate mod soon too.

whenever you wanna do a good service and all on your truck......come on up man. we'll have beers and smooth running trucks after were done!!

 

DAMM I feel LONELY out here in CALIFORNIA I wanna hang out too

 

we'll all just meet in the middle and have alot of beers in a parking lot somewhere............sounds like a plan to me!!!

 

forgot to add.....changed the fuel filter too, which i will continue to do every 10/15k miles or so, and it cost me around $15 to 17 @ autozone.

 

I may do that

 

yeah man.........just let me know the weekend, i'll be around!! aint got nothing planned for a while, so we should be able to get everything done that you are needing done..............plus the beer will be good!!

i got an autozone 3 minutes from my condo, so if we need to go back,which i have done before.........its no problem at all.

 

it'll be a breeze man, plus we'll clean out the throttle body too.......i got the seafoam deep creep for that already!! you'll spend a little bit of money, but it'll be worth it. word of advice......get your oil at wal-mart.....its cheaper there, and the filter and rest of the stuff from autozone. tranny fluid needs to be bought at the dealer............type t-iv, but i may have some left from what i have now, so you may not need to get any..........just fyi.

 

and that leaves more time for drinking!!!

 

booyah!!!!!! if he gets too lit..........we'll just let him hang here for a while and sober up!!! i dont deal well with people drinking and driving!! unless its a golfcart......then its funny!!
