1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Before I flipped my thermostat I'd run 207ish all the time, little higher at times.

 

finished passenger side

 

That is a little hot for a Toyota.

I think I was seeing 210 in Houston stop and go. in retrospect it was only a month after I got back that the head cracked

 

212 is fine for a Toyota. I saw that driving thru Death Valley in my 99. Actually, I think it hit 218. Just don't want that very often.

 

no luck on instructions.. i forgot how terrible they are on this. no illustration showing proper install.


if i get a chance to pope my center bolt out i'll get a photo of mine

 

Enjoying the last bit of my morning before work

 

Quiet mornings are the best part of the day.

 

Just hauling ass up the mountain

 

Agreed. Part of the reason I'm up so early, only time in the day for a bit of silence

 

Not the same assembly line at all but same factory, yes. Or it was made in a tent in the factory parking lot haha.

It's not open to the public but there's a bunch of old stuff from when when it was just a GM factory and later NUMMI if you ever have the chance to tour it.

 

@Das it mang @eon_blue

This one reminds me of our working cat.

She had a GTFO my lawn attitude toward any other animal or reptile that came on the property.

My ex had an outdoor cat that would fend coyotes off their yard, that thing was tough was nails.

 

I was under the impression that "hauling ass up a mountain" and "our trucks" were mutually exclusive options ;-)

 

Is your fan clutch still good? The only time my tacoma ever really got hot was when mine took a shit. Now it's basically locked from April until October driving around here, stays nice and cool tho even with my tiny 4cyl radiator and 3.4.

 

3rd gear and 4500 rippums aught to do it

 

Can concur

 

funny, my older guy got locked out on the patio couple mornings ago and i started to hear weird meow sounds. Came out and he was flared at another black cat creeping up the stairwell to him. Boi was about to lay the hand of god on him like that star wars scene, "I have the higher ground" sort of shit. Had to kick em indoors before it happened and he hissed at me out of being in attack mode lmaoo. now every morning he's meowing trying to get back out there again for another shot at fighting

 

you all making me want an ultragauge now lol. the temp gauge wouldnt move at those levels, right?

wondering if its worth it to just drop an actual temp gauge in, i wouldnt care about mpgs or those other things

 

Get a little obdII dongle for $20 and the torque app for your phone ($5). Way cheaper and can do all the same stuff, just uses your phone so not as convenient.

Then you can use it to read and clear codes

I've read somewhere that the dash gauge will start to rise after 220° or thereabouts.
