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

You sure it's the upper? Not just b/c the code says pre-cat, sometimes post-cat O2 will throw bad info and ECU will interpret the wrong O2 sensor is faulty. Just know, if code persists after, you're not the 1st guy to have it happen. General reco is to replace in pairs if you've got the $$.

 

No codes, just the only one I haven't replaced lol. The driver's side was done a while ago as an "oh shit, emissions fail" moment. Then I replaced the rears about a year ago because they were looking rough.

 

Good grief! I'd like 5 minutes alone with the person that decided the location for the sensor . What a PITA

Go at it from above.

 

Not to the Tundra bit I did find a good spot for my Tundras.com sticker!!
(and post 700 since Jan '19)

 

I will be interested to hear your thoughts on the Dirty Deeds injectors. Mine have been smooth as silk to date. I suppose it could be argued replacing old injectors would be an improvement no matter the brand. A very worthwhile install in my opinion.

 

Today, I stared longingly at it over a cup of fresh ground coffee with Bourbon cream. Day one of vacation.

 

I took it for a little spin last night, but am going for longer drive here shortly. Definitely feels smoother. I can't believe how much tighter these feel compared to the old ones. I know the boot was coming apart and I could almost fully rotate them, but I'm wondering if they could be too tight?

 

Couldn’t stand it. Made a trash run and rolled over 268k

 

Is that 550 cord wrap on your steering wheel?

 

Why yes it is. Did the grab handles too. Steering wheel leather was beat. Couldn't find a good replacement. This is my temp/perm solution. Adds some thickness and has worn great. Been on there for years.

 

Pics from when I first finished it. 2018

 

That’s great. You could also use that in a pinch to hold an LBJ on when the castle but falls off (reference to that FB zip-tie dude).

 

All that paracord is just waiting for it's opportunity to shine.

 

We appear to be slippin’ a little. No odd sounds or jerkiness. Any thoughts?

 

As designed. Be sure to lube it!

OEM harness appears to be intact, so really just downstream of that (i.e., inside of the taillight area) is where the ugly begins. You can see that trailer controller (see pics below) was run up into the taillight wire area and then tied into the wires inside there, so that might actually be a lot easier to "unwind" than I was thinking.


Somebody was doin' some trailering. It's attached to a tow hitch that is by far the most affected by rust on my truck. Going to remove it and work it over pretty good when I get a chance, but not a high priority right now.

 

Dang. I need to do something like this. I just wrap my steering wheel in electrical tape.

Normal. The driveshaft "shortens" when your rear suspension compresses.

I went knots to the inside/back of the steering wheel. And his wheel is solid, ours is squishy, no need to go super tight, just tight enough to feel the first bit of give.

 

Ok, new goal for the C10 with the sticky GM steering wheel....going to pull that this weekend (hopefully installing the rebuilt carb and buying a battery for it tomorrow) and bring it home and see if my very crafty girls want to tackle this.....

 

Grabbed my Paracord at Hobby Lobby. Was supposed to be more dark brown and looked like it in the store, looked gold when I installed it. Think it was even called "Canyon Brown" or something like that. takes a lot. Buy a couple 100' spools.

 

Doing some mind blowing mods today. Vacuumed and cleaned the interior. Mounted my fire extinguisher after they finally sent the correct mount. I also repaired my fender liner. This 425 piece fastener kit from Scamazon came in clutch. I noticed it even has spare tailgate rod clips.

 

I have a spare tow controller too if you want it. Swapped to OEM parts.

 

@daveeasa I'm going to tear into it this weekend (probably Sunday) and will let you know. May take that off your hands and also that taillight harness if mine's as gnarly as I'm expecting it to be. Really appreciate you!

 

Temp 12v power!

 

Minds still in great shape BUT that looks damn good. Any tips or youtube of how to secure properly.

 

Posted a YouTube above

 

Well damn if you didn’t, thanks

 

Alright, after cruising at 50mph, stop and go driving, and acceleration after low speed turns, I am extremely happy with the injector swap.

10/10 would do it again.
