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

I would've done the same.

 

200 bucks. Just have to adjust the latches and order a new gasket..

 

Trimmed the ugly tailpipe out of sight. Pics of new Method NV's coming tomorrow...

 

Alright so a couple days ago my truck started making this whining noise, I didnt think too much of it because I assumed it was just the power steering pump or something, popped the hood, checked the PS levels, its good. Could it be my water pump or something? theres no difference if the AC is off. My steering feels perfectly normal. Almost sounds like its coming from down around the crank somewhere. Oil level is good, Coolant level is good, no visible leaks.

Do you sell the connector for the igniter? Mines snapped

edit: wrong thread.... posting this in the other one.

 

Built a jerry can holder today for my gas and water cans.

 

Sounds like the power steering pump to me,

 

Your water can set up so you can pressurize it and use it as a shower?

 

how do i get it to stop? flush the system or something? Or is the pump going bad?

 

Yup!

Did the grey wire, changed spark plugs and harness, put on new carrier bearing. No pics ( you have seen it a thousand times ).

 

Hard to tell, but might be the pump it's self or the filter screen might be plugged,
If it's the pump you can buy a rebuilt section from most the auto parts stores for 100 or less

 

I just went through the same thing with mine, I put the write up in here. I flushed it several times, cleaned the res ect. The whine was coming from the shaft in the race that drives the pump.

Take the belt off and see if it goes away just to single it out. If you are crafty with dial calipers and feeler gauges you can by a new shaft for $7.00, and 20$ gasket rebuild kit.

 

Thanks @chrslefty for the leaf springs.
Got rid of the bro lean, now I look like a stink bug.

 

Havent spent money on the ol girl lately. Hmmmm.


On board shower?

All 4 door speakers?

Weathertech floor liners?

King rebuild (convert to extended travel and longer coils if possible) kings have about 15k on them. Not sure if they need a rebuild.

35s?

 

And screw the first guy to say all of the above...lol

 

@Lux

 

Did a good 300mi 3 day, backpacking wheeling trip. Ran like a champ and climbed everything

 

At 15K I would wonder what you've done to need a rebuild. Should still have 10K of solid life and another 5-7k of half function. Ex travel is worth it while you're having them rebuilt though, gotta have UCAs to make use of it though. TBH if that was my list I'd do the audio and floor liners first (husky liners though). The shower is clever but wait until after winter on that one so you can actually use it.

 

Thats great news man, glad the trip was eventful and enjoyable. Looks like you got the truck all worked out as well!
