Colorado B.S. Thread

I know the company that makes the TOB Sleeve Kit is outta Colorado somewhere. I have heard some people are getting their issues fixed at the dealer with that kit. A lot of the Subaru dealers in CO are using that kit to fix the same issue on their cars. I just did it myself, took me 7 hours from the time I shut it off till I started it back up again. Its not tough.

 

im flying into denver on sunday and leaving sunday afternoon. We are going to be staying in castle rock. Kodiak told me to post in here. I had knee surgery on wednesday so all the hiking i wish i could do is out, but does anyone know of some fun things to do?

 

Can you walk at all? Colorado Springs has a COG train up Pikes Peak, Garden of the Gods, 7 Falls, and Cave of the winds. Otherwise if minimal walking is involved I would say hit up Central City and Black Hawk for some gambling. If not that main street Castle Rock has some cool little bars.

 

If you're only 20 downtown, brewery, and gambling are out. Train ride would be sweet down in springs up through pikes peak.

 

Mike we are still alive my friend. All just to do it again tonight.

 

I hurt.. but I'm in

 

yeah how do uknow ur diff bearing is shot? i do wheel bearings on 2g's and 4runners allt he time. only thing is Jeff is tht i cant allow anybody in the shop with me.... liability issues.

 

so the first fix that came out was a new bell housing. we did a shit ton of them. didnt fix it. now toyota is having us do new pressure plates, t/o bearings and slave clyinders and pivot balls. the old tsb is obsolete. i believe since u complained about it before warranty was up, they will still honor the warranty. the new tsb works.

 

But the issue isn't with the pressure plate, the slave or the pivot ball is it? Its the friction of the TOB on the pilot shaft. When I took mine apart and put the sleeve on there, the pilot shaft was scored and worn from the TOB. The sleeve fixed it and I didn't do any pivot balls or plates or the slave.

 

dude im not the engineer man... all i know is when ive done the bell housings, the vehicles came back with the same noise. nw with the new tsb, they dont... only way i can see it working is if the new pivot ball changes the axis on which the bearing slides on the bellhousing sleeve, thus not rubbing as much....

 

I can see that being the case...hey at least they found something!

 

thats what i said too ha... those bell housing sucked.

 

I'm not positive it is shot really but thought I would do it while everything is torn down that far. As for the not being in the shop helping, shit that sucks, but I definitely understand protocol on this. I like to carry my weight when asking people for a hand. Lets continue this conversation in PM to discuss some possible details, just fill me in on what your thinking about the situation.

 

Beyond bad ass but way over priced, I think.

My next big maintenance is either going to be water pump or clutch. I would like to get the clutch done, so I can actually get some feel in the pedal. The stock clutch is shitty.

 

Anyone wanna roll with me up to rampart range tomorrow? Two jeep Cherokees me and another taco. Don't think this other taco knows about TW though. Should be fun. They been making fun of my taco since I got it saying it can't hang with there 06 and 07 stock Cherokees! I'll show them
