    Any help would be apriciated! I need to drive the truck soon, and its ticking!!!!

    Is there a TSB for my TSB springs?

    Please respond fast!! Im texting this from my phone, and my throttle is STUCK!!!

    Yeah from what I hear the throttle body spacer blows the supercharger out of the water horsepower wise. But you'll probably need about 3 though due to your low katskin thread count. Ill make a thread about what size tire you can really run and what oil is the best for your truck, and get back at you! :thumbsup:

    This is both hilarious and sad. Hilarious for obvious reasons. Sad because you've probably really been asked some of those questions.

    Wealth of knowledge here. Actaully to fully make up for thread count loss the best avenue they don't tell you about is to remove all exhuast after the headers coupled with your 3 TBS; kinda like a true dual. You'll actually stomp raptors in the desert. You'll basically have a trophy truck.

    Chris, get some fuel additive and put it in your radiatior and oil. Sounds crazy but it's actually a wiring issue some of our trucks have that has a tatle tell wire in those areas. My truck's never run better

    But it could be an aray of other things, such as your headlight/taillight fluid, flux capacator, or kaniever switch. You can fix all of these with a bucket of steam, wall/board stretcher (whichever you own), left handed screwdriver, 16/16 socket with left handed ratchet, and blinker fluid.

    I honestly thought that the spoiler on top of the tailgate added the most horsepower. Learn something new every day. :notsure:

    Another dipshit in the house. TRD stickers create the most horsepower gains.

    In all seriousness though, Ive got a 2004 tacoma extended cab 4x4 and I have a spacer lift what tire size can I run with no scrubbing. And which oil is best? Is it too late to switch to synthetic? Oh I have 15" rims. If I decided to upgrade what would be the best lift for my truck? Am I asking too many questions?

    Ok...first of all, you're gonna need to get rid of those 15'' rims and pick up some 24's.
