What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

Haha.

 

Lost my AC compressor belt today.

Is there any ill effects of running a 3.4 without the AC compressor belt?

 

No AC mine broke and I was able to drive home

 

It drove fine today. Just wasn't sure of any long term effects. Won't really need the AC for another 6-7 months.

 

You just wont have AC. It helps the defoster a little bit, but I took my belt off a few years ago and the difference is negligible. After all, pretty sure before cars had AC they were able to defrost a windshield.

Oh, and without your engine being connected to the AC, you'll have moar powaahhhhhhh

 

Your AC won't work. The defrost may not work as expected. That's about it...

 

Decided to check my LBJ bolts and retorque them.

 

Won't run into anything now wile in reverse.

 

Thanks for the reassurance fellas!

 

Added power steering fluid and am planning on changing my transmission fluid tomorrow

 

Cut my muffler off.

 

Can anyone help me with a blinking airbag light?

 

Sure, don't hit anything and you won't need the airbags!

 

None at all.

 

There is a connector under driver seat just for that light. Make sure its plugged in goes from under the floor liner and into the driver seat!

 

I have checked that already everything seems to be fine

 

If you have checked the simple things like the connection under the seat, maybe a continuity test, I would have a dealer or other trusted shop check the system.

 

Ok that sounds like a plan and does anyone have a problem with stalling i have an automatic transmission

 

Nothing bad engine related, but it's a good idea to turn your AC on every once in a while to cycle the refrigerant and oil through the compressor. You'd probably be fine if you leave it for 6 months. Or $25.00 for the belt and an hour of your time and the AC works again.

 

What do you mean stalling?
