Living on the edge

Finally got around to the Uni filter mod, my foam filter was all dis formed and actually touching blades in the air pump. Just caught it lol

 

lol better late than never.


I did the unifilter mod on my truck as soon as i got it at 62k miles, and there was no foam filter. No clue if the PO had taken it out themselves or it got sucked in before i took ownership. Only time will tell I guess lol

 

Haha, yeah I got her at 85k im at 115k now by the looks of it some of the filter is missing, oh well

 

Where did ya get that?

 

Good catch!

 

I got uhm on Amazon, sometimes it’s out of stock but got lucky enough to grab one, you can also get them on eBay

 

you got that clean looking filter in that dirty ass engine bay. Makes me wanna come over and detail that thing.

 

There’s a recall for that on 2012’s!

 

Do 05–11 have this as well?

I think I might need to give the truck some TLC this weekend

 

Haha! Please do, the truck itself can’t stay clean for a day I drive lots of red dirt washboard roads. And when it rains it turns into a river!

 

I know but the Toyota dealers here have a mean waitlist! Since everyone and their mom drives a Toyota, so this was cheaper and faster

 

Make sure you get it done when you have time though! Pull the uni-filter and take it in, you will get a new valve set and pump and a couple years of warranty on them.

 

Glad you caught it!
It might be worth getting the cover for that unit to help protect it further from the dirt that flies around.

 

Might have to take a trip to the junkyard, I know my friends all have them but my truck never had that cap over the pump

 

No, they do not have this secondary air pump.

 

I just called my local dealer, it’s actually on back order the parts, so they will call me when they are available. The way they described it to me it sounds like if it doesn’t need work they won’t replace all of it? If that’s the case I might just say never mind. But if they replace everything like you say then it’s a no brainer

 

They replace the valves 100% of the time and inspect the pump, if any of the vanes are damaged new pump, and an upgraded filter and cover every time as well.
