What muffler are you using?

 

I've got an aFe "cat back" for a v6 in it now. but I had to reuse the center pipe so its more like a muffler back.

 

are you looking to sell the magnaflow? how did it sound?

 

It's not really a full exhaust. It's ghetto. I welded it into the stock exhaust, I can take a picture of it later.

I think that link will take you to a video on my instagram

 

If you want to sell it i wouldnt mind trying it for a day and if i like it i'll buy it, let me know

 

If you want it you can have it it would need to be welded.

 

alright let me know i fyou get a pic of it, im off to clean the truck and change the power steering fluid!

 

Have fun!

 

Hope the ps works out well for you! I just put in an order for amsoil. 270 bucks later my car that's now sitting on the dock will have all fresh fluids.

I also changed my oil in the truck today before work. Beautiful day to be wrenching.

 

All done, that was easy. Fluid was really disgusting looking too, not sure why more people dont do this sooner

 

I've got a leak, it changes itself

 

haha man it smelled like shit too

 

Oh my hell does it ever smell like shit. I find the serve gear stuff to be the worst. Haha

 

I strangely love the smell of gear oil. It's delicious

 

Took a few mins because there was air in the system when it ran too low while pumping it, seems fine now though. Left it out there for a bit to check the cold level

 

Any of you guys ever replace a CV axle on a taco. I was wondering the approximate cost / difficulty ?

 

I havent replaced the axle but I have replaced the boots, which is more work. It is a pretty straightforward replacement, lots of how-tos and youtube videos floating around. Axles are anywhere from $150+ depending on where, OEM from Toyota would be a lot more.


Why are you in need of replacement?

 

Yea in the front end the past few days so last night down at a buddies garage he told me the boot is probably ripped somewhere and I'll need a new cv assembly. Starting to think I got a monday morning or friday afternoon truck.

 

If it hasn't been torn very long you can replace the boot and re-grease. Basically if it still has grease inside and isn't full of water/dirt then it's a $30 rebooting.
If you have an OEM axle (which you probably do) re-booting would be the best option as OEM axles are much better than aftermarket and boots are cheap (just a little more labour for you)

 

Sweet ok man ill look into that. Thanks !
