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

typically bore it out. in example make a 3.4L to a 3.5L might be a little extreme but you get the idea.

while honing removes burrs or glazing. heres what the type of honer i use

$56 Brush Research GB41824 FLEX-HONE®, 4-1/8" (105mm) Diameter, 240 Grit, Silicon Carbide, For Mild Steel, Stainless Steel, Cast Iron and Softer Ferrous Materials

Try this part number in Google. I think the floor plate only comes with the rubber boots

58280-04030

 

Changed my ujoint again.


Question:

When I put my truck in 4WD I get a repetitive clunk noise until I push the gas, kinda hard to explain.
Check the ujoints on the front drive shaft and they don’t have any play and it sounds like it’s coming from right under me.

Even though my description is brief anyone have any ideas?

 

if it comes from directly beneath you that sounds like the transfer case. i would start there, change the fluid and see if theres any metal in the oil. but thats just me

 

What's the advantage of having a shop hone the pistons versus doing it yourself?

 

Wouldn’t that make a grinding noise? When I spin the drive shaft there’s no binding or anything stopping it from spinning normally

 

its a better quality of a job.

more then likely but if ujoints dont have play then to my understanding that would be the next step. but it could be a number of things.

 

Finally got my scan guage II installed, found a perfect clean spot under the radio pocket

 

What sensors are those?

 

Ive been wanting one of those. What all can the scanguage show?

 

A ton of stuff, toooo much stuff, you have to go to the website,
A bunch of different window options to,

 

Boost, tranny temp and AFR are all I'm really worried about. Anything else is icing on the cake

 

dat wood grain lol

I just went shook around again with 4wd on. Pretty sure it’s the joint right in front of the transfer case.

It’s gonna have to wait a day or 2 cause I’ve played mechanic waaaay to much this week.

 

Nice, what’d you use?

 

That’s where I put mine at.

 

Installed an airaid tube to complement my afe and snorkel. Was going for a drive and the truck wouldnt go. Forgot to reset the ecu..lol. .

Also tightened the valve cover bolts. They were too loose and i have gunk all around. Hope this helps

I got 2 kits and did the wife’s CRV as well. Really happy with the results for what I paid and the time invested. I did put a couple coats of clear on after to hopefully make it last awhile.

 

Thanks but I'm needing the plate that covers the lower part of the bell housing.
