Anybody running this one?

 

Basically what I'm running, mine was rebranded as a DieHard but it has been a great battery.

 

Rebuilt or just used?

 

I have NOT checked a FSM on that spec. Mine and the other 2 taco 1st gen autos i had Park or netrual idel were 700-800. In gear any gear that is, its 600-700. Unlike a stick shift, you cant change idle before you engauge power transfer. So keeping the motor at a rpm where it can transfer the tq and not stall is the goal.

Like speedytech mentioned check smog line leaks l, plugs or even a plugged up cat converter.

I meant the motor, my bad

 

almost every trd ive ran on TIS shows up with 225/75r15. Its just the standard size until the trd package was added.

 

very noice

 

Mine is the same (speedo reads 65 when going 60 on gps). It drives me absolutely nuts! I don't give a shit about the speedo, I get mad that my truck is clocking miles that it's not actually driving. It comes out to about a 92% difference (i.e. my odometer reads 130k, but it has really only travelled 120k.)

 

You can have the last laugh at Toyota by throwing on some 37's and not regearing.

Oh, wait. That'll suck. So yeah, they'd still get the last laugh.

I don't worry at all about the ODO. I'm never selling this truck anyway so who cares? It's just some interesting trivia that you can bore other people with. I bet it's true of a lot of car brands. hahahaha

 

Doesn't matter how slow you're going or how much metal you have to cut. You always get the last laugh with 37s

 

Took it out of a fresh kill - 160k with a transmission. The truck was mint before the bent frame caused it to be a total loss.

 

Probably right. actually was the margaritas and senoritas
I referenced the Tundra brake upgrade. Just quoted the wrong post.

 

If I were to put a 1600lb pressure plate behind my 3rz what kind of differences from stock should I expect?

I need to replace my clutch but I'm hoping to do a motor swap in the next few months and I would rather not buy two pressure plates if the 1600lbs would work behind my current motor.

 

I just replaced my body mount bushings with red energy suspension parts. I was ready to go for a short drive and enjoy the cushy new mounts when i saw my check engine light on. WTF!!! i gotta take it to get the code checked now. Any guesses before i go?

 

While I sit lonely in my basement attempting to fill in a hole in my heart with intervention-worthy levels of OCD, nitpicking other people's posts who are too busy living real lives in the real world. You win this time Jon lol

 

I'm going with p0420 - my truck likes throwing that one for some reason. J/k I'm too old for that - my truck's in that state of mind where all it thinks about sensory stimulation and is not always influenced by proper role models. Then again I should maybe learn to lighten up lol. Pass it this way Bean!

But if you don't want to have to go to the parts store next time, you can buy several levels of code readers from a basic $13 Amazon cheapy that has gotten me by for the last 2 years or something that can show real time data on your phone with a number of apps recommended by @mechanicjon:

How hard of a job is this

 

Not very hard if those bolts holding the body mount plates to the frame come out. If you snap one your not in for a good time as the nut is welded to the frame.
