Tundras live: A Bunch of Idiots And A Bunch of BS- Resume discussion group

Used to all the time when hauling my trailer, but that’s not what you are really asking about. I’d love to find some dirt roads to open GT up but that’s not what we get around here

And contact highs. Everyone is smoking stanky weed.

 

As said recently, by another forum member... buy something for yourself every month or so, and you'll always have something new coming through the pipeline every couple of months or so. It'll make the wait seem almost non-existent

Seriously, this is the best advice I've seen offered on this forum!!!

 

With my new shocks I haven’t found mine yet. Duro bumps for the front are on my never ending list though.

 

Omg that is a lot of tax stamps. If only I could!

 

@T-Rex266 Don't you have to move the TESLA sign on the wall down 65% to start the new year?

 

Just a little obscure investment humor.

 

Never have. That's what the RZR is for!

butter smooth....

 

Kirkland 0w-20

I put the Harrop on before the '20 Tundra ECU was opened up. so I had a ~2k miles on the new S/C.

then, a few months later when Toyota opened the ECU, I jumped immediately to the smaller 80mm pulley & 650cc's.

I changed the oil right before I brought it in for Tuning...

so this oil had all the tuning (I think ~18 pulls*)+ the associated ~4k miles of me enjoying it.

and bam....this sh1t is good to go.

I change @ 5k no matter what.

our whse is in a working rail yard** with all the assoc ground up dust flying around.

I'm sure there are more expensive oils, but I can't see how they would out perform this stuff.

yes, I'd like higher Moly.

I run OEM oil filters & WIX air filters.

Toyota engines are awesome.

The wife had a '11 Lexus LS460L & we ran the the same oil for 9500 mile intervals. the TBN was still greater than 3. now THAT motor was smooth.


*D3 performance used the Magnuson tune as the base tune & built on it. well, 650cc injector maps needed to be completely built from scratch. they did an awesome job.

**remember the scene in the movie Se7en when the apartment starts to shake? our conference room is JUST like that.

 

I posted that report on BITOG site...those geniuses said they could tell it was ABOUT to wear.

what kind of tea leave reading crap is that?

I get trying to protect y'all's $15/Qt signature super oil's reputation, but...data don't lie.

oil is oil. synth oil is even better.

and the ONLY time an engine has an oil related failure - it's due to starvation (low oil)...not how much plutonium is in the additive pkg.

I watch this channel a lot...https://www.youtube.com/@I_Do_Cars tells a lot about all the engines.


Great. now I'm lathered up over oil crap.


I think I'm the only person at work today.



y'all have an awesome 2023!!!

 

Gotta justify it to themselves, right?

You enjoy your work day! I'm at work as well.

 

I find the front bumps quite a bit, but that's less of an issue with the durobumps installed. I put them on the back as well, but I can't say I've really noticed those making contact before. Doesn't mean they don't hit all the time, I just have plenty of other chaos going on when I'm going hard enough for that to be an issue.

 

I've got a Frankenstein's monster going on with my suspension. Could be a factor.

 

I didn’t even see M1 0W-20 there. But the price for 10qt of this was about $33

 

Dunno that I’ve ever read one or would know what I’m looking at

 

Good stuff, thanks for posting. I’m actually surprised you are still running the 0W-20 oil and didn’t step up to a -30 weight. Is that not needed/recommended with the S/C (honest question)?

BITOG is a strange place. I spent a bit of time there once. I did enjoy reading the oil reports and the oil filter dissections, but the locals are nuts.

 

It gets obsessive quick…don’t start unless you’re ready for another OCD about your truck.

 

you are clairvoyant

I just moved to Kirkland 5w-30 on my last oil change. sure makes the valve train quieter.

 

I’m pondering the same actually. Just need to work it into my routine.

 

I didn't consider it till we bought my FIL's hot rod ('34 Ford with GM FB350). I had to buy 30w oil for the thing.

so, what the hell...30w it is.

I still use 20w on the other toyotas we have.

 

Yeah some of those guys get crazy passionate about the little details.

I figure that when Toyota makes a port injected engine that you can run 0W-20 all the way up to 20W-50 if you drive across the border into Mexico, it's gotta be hard to fuck things up as long as you change the oil regularly.

Ever catch background conversations about car related stuff from the general public? The other day I heard some woman say she runs her car until the oil light comes on and then gets it changed. Said it was something like a 10 year old Chevy with 150k+ miles. I think we're all gonna be just fine.

 

I fully admit to being the OCD one in my circle of friends and family when it comes to vehicle care and maintenance. I have 15 years+ of Blackstone reports from many vehicles that show I can run my oil up to 10k. Yet I rarely go past 5k; it freaks me out. So I stay out of conversations with people that wait for the idiot light.

 

Fucking brilliant

 

And this concludes the short but scary itch for a S/C. Guess it waits until I retire near a dealer…
