What have you done to your 1st gen Tundra today?

And, honestly, I don’t care about trans temps on a 3500 lb 4 cylinder truck.

 

its a manual isnt it? trans temp really doesnt matter then

 

Yeah, can’t think of anything I care to monitor on a little bs truck.

 

We have zero vehicle inspections here unless you purchase from out of state then they verify mileage and sometime check the brake lights that's it. Hell we don't even have to register trailers.

 

Looks like it's spring in Montana.....I'd rather be working on my Olds, but I'll get to it either way

 

Need more info on the olds!! Hurst? 442? 350 engine? Sweet ride.

 

It's a 79 Hurst Olds with a rebuilt Olds 350/th350 trans.

 

350 Rocket. Sweet.

 

Had a BT reader in my cart for weeks trying to make same decision. Think the SG may move back to Taco. Whatd you end up with?

 

whats ‘burn the point’? @chrisb @Darkness

 

Fixd for the first try. I'll see how decent it is.

 

Burn The Point is a car event here in Billings Mt. There's an organized cruise, car show and swap meet every Labor Day weekend. Last year was the first with this car, but my 5th or 6th I've attended

 

Gonna have to tell me dad about that. He’s got a 92 Buick roadmaster wagon that he’s been dying to cruise in. Only 2 hours away too.

 

He'd love it. There's old and newer cars all over. BTP isn't just for the classics

 

But don't y'all have high taxes each year when getting your tag?

 

Back from deployment and my rear main seal is done and my buddy even washed the whole bay for me. Thank god for good friends.

 

Wow!

When can I bring my Sequoia over?

 

I'm in San Diego. Bring it by anytime! We are a full service shop, sometimes we go a little over board with details. Lol.

 

How do you like those HPS silicone hoses? I was thinking about buying them to put on at the same time I do my Mishimoto radiator.

 

Edited my list - checked a thing off and added a thing.

 

I like them. You just need special clamps. HPS customer service is top notch. The heater hose kit is not complete, since they don't make a kit for rear heater equipped Sequoias. But I made custom pieces fit.

 

Where at?

 

What part of SD?

 

I'm north county but it seems like this guy targeted me remotely rather than by stalking me in person.

 

Remotely? Wow, that's crazy. Hope they catch the bastards.

 

Doesn't seem too unreasonable to me. Though I don't have anything super nice either. Got to pay them next week actually.

 

@chrisb @Darkness

 

Did the timing belt, water pump, and other misc parts that are part of that job on my wife’s sequoia. Then while I was waiting on the coolant system to purge I fixed the hood latch on the Tundra. No more reaching through the grill to unlatch.

 

I’m in south OC. You mentioned deployment, you stationed @ Pendleton? If so, I’m just a few miles from your north gate. Smog place was up a bit further in Mission Viejo

 

Sorry, been a bit preoccupied at home with a new baby and haven't been on the forum much. In that video you posted, there was a light spritz on the road, which always helps. Motor and drivetrain is stock on 285/70/17 AT3w but my exhaust sounds pretty healthy.
