3.4L Vs. 4.0L

Thanks for the info, Chris! This helps. I love the acceleration of the 1GR engine, but I just want it to get there. For what I'm hoping to use it for, I wont need alot of acceleration.

I'm just concerned about reliablity... Makes sure it runs and works the way its supposed to.

 

always buy the biggest engine

 

In your opinion.


Drag racing, of course... Not as much for long traveled trucks going over the desert.

 

Good point! Never thought about the slow pokes driving the vehicle. Like my truck, we get the oil changed every 10-15k miles (synthetic) and has 86k miles and more than half are interstate miles.

So basically start from scratch......? Ill look

 

we never said anything about sketchy maintenance records, just the fact that they may not have all the records, of course you judge by the vehicle's performance on your test drive though, and by doing a little poking around pre purchase.

I didn't mean for it to sound like you should buy a tacoma that has never had an oil change, but I personally would rather have a truck that needs a little tune up, rather than finding out it's got a bent frame and needs a new front end because the guy's been jumping it with stock suspension. (the guy states in the comments that the suspension is stock)

 

I can see that. Well 71k miles on that eBay truck.. and who knows how long the CAI has been on, exactly.

 

Bigger engine means less work for the same power = longer engine life.

And anyone who thinks the 3.4 is as fast as the 4.0 hasn't stepped hard enough on the pedal of the 4.0. They aren't as fast at all.

 

I should test drive a 3.4L tomorrow see what the differences are.

And I've stepped on it before, I know whats its like.

 

ughh, no one said they are as fast, but they are both trucks, neither one is "fast" by any means, but from MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE driving both, I wouldn't say the 4.0 is a beast compared to the 3.4.

this has really intrigued me to see what kinda hp I have.. I'm gona stop by the dyno tomorrow and see how much it costs for a run.

 

Now I wanna go drive mine. bye for now!!!

 

The 4.0 builds speed far faster.

Oh and...

Fucking knew it.

 

That doesnt bother me... Its not like Im going to be racing other persons or running from the police.

And so what? Yeah we owe $19k on the truck........ Your point?

 

I don't see what he's trying to say either...

 

if you guys are saying that I'm spoiled, You VERY wrong..... and need to shut up about it. I'm sick of those comments.

It was a gift. And there's plenty of 16 year olds that ARE spoiled... just not me.

So again Shut up about the "hidden" remarks and telling me....
