    Howdy sir! Whats new down south? :wave:

    Mine was exceptionally busy. Was on the road most of the weekend.. Looking forward to the end of this week so i can relax! It was good though, so i cant complain!
    Ahhh man i know, i know.. Part of me doesnt want them to sell.. I've told myself if no one buys them by the time i get to 300k ill probably just go ahead and install them.. :D

    Lol yeah.. LCE stuck it to me real good. I had to get in touch with Clutchmasters (manufacturer of LCE's clutches) and they ended up replacing the hub for me, but they made me pay for shipping there and back and they didnt replace the pressure plate-just the hub. I was gonna write a shitty review on LCE on here, but that's not the kind of person i am and since clutchmasters "fixed" it, i decided to just move on with my life and not use LCE in the future. They basically said screw you, talk to the manufacturer. I wrote down a quote one of their managers told me on the phone. "The manufacturer sounds like they are going to work with you, so that's a positive." So basically i've come to the conclusion that they dont stand behind their products and just have generally poor customer service. it's a real shame because i would've likely had them rebuild a motor or two for me at some point. If you upgrade your clutch, my recommendation would be to avoid LCE at all costs :(

    Have some good news and some bad news. Good news is i figured out what's been causing my coolant leak.. Bad news is i have to pull the intake manifold off to replace the hose thats cracked and leaking.. Apparently a common issue on the 2TR-FE. Ordered a metal replacement bypass pipe but now im kinda leery to drive the truck because if that thing gives, ill likely burn the motor up.. Might put the red truck back on daily driver duty for now..

    Thats awesome! At least its gettin some good use while youre gone for work

    Morning Joey, man youre up early!

    Agreed! I will say though, it has lived a long life. Still doesnt make much sense that toyota threw a plastic coolant pipe in there though:(
