    It starts correctly now, thanks to the best dealer tech ever.
    No clue. And where's our sig pics? And you can't see who's viewing the thread, that sucks, I liked that feature! Made it fun when tons of people logged on!

    Eric said there's some kind of improvement that will make it easier to view stuff on your phone. I think he's reading.....

    OK, he's gonna post instructions........Eric's great with all the computer stuff (not my strong suit at all).

    Coffee, yum.

    Who's here? What's going on? What do we do?????????? Help everyone, I am very lost! This site has been my rock for 5 months straight, and now it's different!!!!!! Wait, let's see what the emoticon choices are before condemning the new site........

    OK, can't find emoticons. This is a problem. Big problem. You all know how fond I am of those little guys........was all excited to use the thread jack one on Koditten soon!

    Lame, Eric just said you have to link your sig pics now each time you post. Forget that, too much work!

    a question I have is with gear ratio, I saw a TRD truck with Axle Ratio - 3.91 but don't know if that is a good or bad ratio for the best towing and for gas mileage?

    im looking for a new v6 taco and want the best mpg I can get from a v6 so of the "standard" ratios I might find, whats the preferred one I want to look for to pull a boat and get great gas mileage at the same time?

    hmmm, maybe i'll buy Jen's truck and solve her problem that way? Jen, would you consider selling it to me for $18k plus a box of cookies?

    :thumbsup: Found 'em!

    And new ones too!! :);):(:mad::cool::p:D:eek::oops::rolleyes:o_O

    YES!

    EDIT: OK, did I miss that feature before, or is this a new thing that we can "like" each other's comments? I remember there being reputation points, is "liking" a post the same thing now?

    $18,000? And you're making us cookies? I'll consider it. I'd need to thoroughly interview you and do a background check, to be sure Taco would be going to a good home first.:rofl:

    I bet you'll have no troubles finding a great one for a decent price in your neck of the woods! Lucky you!! Their prices are so jacked up out here :mad:

    EDIT: Should read, finding a great 1st gen - because you ARE going for another 1st gen, right Keakar?

    Unless that's how it shows up every time? Super huge like that? We'd double the number of pages on the thread in no time!! :laughing:

    Yeah.
    Holy cow, that would kill me! My limit is one big cup. Working on my vitamin/fiber drink right now, then one cup of coffee.

    I believe there is a law against buying anything else and the penalties are very severe :crapstorm:

    yes im looking to get a 02-04 first gen v6 with 2wd TRD package

    found an 04 ext cab one near me for $11k with 114k miles in excellent condition and no dents or rust and its white which is a color I like but its makes me crazy because im still about 4 weeks away from being ready to buy and right now today I just cant do the deal. supposed to have a settlement meeting on the chevy lemon on the 18th so until that's settled I cant do another truck finance.

    car fax is clean, never wrecked but no service history for it either. course I would still have to crawl under it and check for frame rust but its a southern truck so I expect that to be ok. the only thing I question is the last owner only kept it for one year and put 10k miles on it so im curious why he sold it?

    Excellent, excellent. You do realize you just announced on the internet that you are currently drinking your fiber drink? :headbang:

    Fortunately, I have never said anything on this thread that I wished I hadn't after the fact. Unless you count the first 139 pages. :rolleyes: :facepalm::annoyed:

    PS: Keakar, that truck sounds awesome! Sounds a lot like Koditten's 04, except 2wd instead.

    Tacoma fuel pump current and voltage while running:
    IMG_2287[1].jpg

    Both are in the same basic current range? From what the interwebs says is that each peak/valley is a separate segment of the fuel pump and they should all be pretty even? I can't tell any specific problem but doesn't really look like a new pump to me? but it is... so just more confusing numbers and charts to keep everyone guessing

    when I look at the waves on the tacoma, it seems like there is a consistent bump on each down slope...does that tell us anything? the 4-runner waves seem like they are smoother looking.
