MT Accumulator Delete Mod (ADM) and BS Thread

No. As far as I know, Trident is moving and doing other fun things.

Honestly at this point, I would dremel the accumulator. Going that route, the only important thing that you need is a good line wrench.

 

LoL! From his BST thread linked in the 1st Post:

 

Dremel? what does that mean? I didnt see that method on the first page

 

The hack mod:


Thanks for pointing that out. I updated the 1st Post.

 

Gotcha. I guess I dont quite understand how that works. If I couldn't get my hands on a pre bent line I was just going to attempt to bend my own line from the brake line and union

 

The fluid will always take the path of least resistance. Instead of building negative pressure and sucking in the diagram, it flows freely between the orifices. The orifices and tube diameter are larger than the hole in the flare seats to start with, so it doesn't take much of a trough to kill the effect.

Many folks have had good luck with the pre-fabbed 12in lines. Trident noted that some of his customers reported leaks. Although, I don't recall any posting here? I could be wrong.

 

The line is not difficult to bend yourself. Honestly the most difficult part of the whole thing is getting the shield off and taking care of the flare nuts. As said already, a good set of flare nut wrenches goes a long way. The materials are cheap enough that if you screw it up you can just go buy a new line. Or, if the truck is your only vehicle/DD, buy a spare from the start. Use a piece of coat hanger as a template to get your bends close to start.

Also, use these parts (I did), and they work fine with no leaks.

 

I used the accumulator as a template. Got it close enough

 

Thats a really good idea! It is my DD so thats a really good idea, thank you.

I was between that and the brake line elbow. I like the simplicity of that. It seems like I can use the existing lines and literally plug n play.

 

I have a extra kit I bought from trident and never used. Send me a PM if you're interested.

I did this mod, used the Honda Brake line off of Amazon. Install wasn't too bad, might want a little sandpaper to clean the surface of one of the attachments. Used a brake bleeder pump to get the air out.

Driving: Noticed that starting out in first it doesn't bog as much anymore while pulling away. There had been times that if you don't work the clutch and gas just right that it would almost stall. All of that is gone now and it feels like a normal clutch.

 

Nice work bleeding with a vacuum pump! That has never worked for me. Tried it twice and failed both times. Haha!

Enjoy the ADM!

 

It is in the toyota.com / Owners / OEM Parts section. I recall it being over $100.

That said, I am pretty certain that you could get one from someone in this thread.

 

i sent mine to someone here for free. for science.

but i have to ask, in case of what?

 

Most likely incase of goof up?

I just grabbed one from @Shellshock because I want to swap out the safety wired brake line elbow for the dremel mod. Now, I realize that I need a new dremel. Burned mine up on the last project.

 

Anyone have their old accumulater?

 

I did until i gave it to @tonered

I’m sure theres some others around here that still have one laying around.

 

Appreciate it if you come across one let me know.

 

How much for it
