Loosing power

Sounds good. I'll look into that. Thanks

 

Yes one day it will happen. Once this engine takes a complete shit

 

No 1000-2000 feet actually seemed to do better on the higher elevation climbs 5000+

 

I know this may sound excessive, but one thought is to do a dyno and see where your numbers land you. That way you could at least confirm the condition of your truck and move to a supercharger knowing everything else was sound.

 

Have you checked your vacuum hoses for split ends/cracking? Potential source for vacuum leaks.

 

Sediments from a fuel filter which I just finished changing. ~160k miles.

 

Normal.

I have 33" ST Maxx (heavier), 4.56 gears, armor, and upgraded headers.

All Tacomas do this.

 

This is the only way to get more power without selling your truck.

 

According to another post that was started recently, apparently you should change your rotor cap and spark plug wires. +15 hp

 

Cleaning the carburetor will help too

 

Check the points while you're in there.

 

If it's running rough check it with a timing light.

 

3k or no way

 

So I was going to look into replacing the fuel filter, not sure if that is a main issue or not but I figured it was somewhere to start. Turns out 2nd gen Tacomas have the fuel filter within the gas tank and are "non-serviceable" thoughts on that? Is there something I can put into the tank to help clean things up?

 

Negative. The filter media is enclosed inside. The only way to truly clean the filter is to upgrade to the URD pump kit, which removes the OEM filter assembly and replaces it with an external one.

 

This and clean your mass airflow sensor/throttle body. Easy and cheap.

Might have to ditch the 33s
