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

who knows the stackup for the top of billy 5100 rears?

Nut
Zinc thick washer
Top bushing
Frame
Thin washer with lip
Bottom bushing
Thick grey washer

^does that sound right? My bushings are flush cut, no bumps or protrusions on one end.

this is bilstein's online instructions.

 

I thought i remember seeing a diagram from Bilstein that shows the proper order of all the hardware on the shocks.

 

That seems like the right order, but who knows if owner #5 put the rears in on mine correctly....

 

Yes @Mr.bee

 

And if you want to see a bunch of people bicker over what's right and what's not, have fun: https://www.tundras.com/threads/rear-bilstein-4600-shock-bushing-nut-stack-up.124853/

 

Is one of those bring popcorn s*** show threads? Also is it real easy to stir the pot there because if it is I may or may not be able to interject a few things that might bother The Hornet's Nest

 

Nah, not a shitshow thread.

I think everyone is pretty much an adult here. As long as you avoid politics, religion, gov't, and public health chatter (any/all are super polarized topics for the variety of members we have and will get you banned STAT) people will decide whether to enjoy. You may land yourself on someone's ignore list if you stir the pot intentionally or call people out directly. There's a rule against insults, goading, that kind of thing. We all try to keep it friendly. Even if that guy @bmf4069 is a big jerk head meanie guy.

But there are better forums for trolling and bullshit. The Green Room is one such subforum: https://www.tundras.com/forums/the-green-room.94/

 

I like how just rolladexed a thread to troll. Like wanna be a shit and kinda get away with it, click here

 

Zinc thick washer on bottom. I was close, but i can see the little bit taken from around the center.

 

Yup, that little inner lip is showing in the diagram above. I didn't catch it at first when installing my 5100s out back and had to go look up the diagram above. Lots of threads all over the internet asking the same; you, me, Bill and others arne't the first.

 

I'm just mean to the turd gens who are mean after I shoo them. And Pucks. Fuck that guy.

 

Maximum safety:
Tires are still on the ground & my tailgate is titty high.

 

YOU DON'T
KNOW ME

 

Safety comes turd

 

Safety is always turd

 

Easiest shocks i've ever done, more than enough thread to get the bushings & everything on.

& i seem to have gained 1/2" in the rear, even though my measurement in the 'how big is yours' thread. And i didnt have the cap or wood floor in the back.



Trophies:

 

I did the TPMS ground yesterday and now the TPMS light is gone AND my check engine light is gone. I don’t know if I should be worried or elated cause it’s the first time in like 8years this truck didnt have those 2 lights on.

 

As long as you don't have codes set, you should be fine. I'd check. If shorting that line causes the CEL to go off while codes are set, that's a big f'n problem. Was your TPMS light flashing or solid? I know how to get it to stop flashing. I can point you to more info.

Just remember to re-adjust (back off) the top nuts if/when you lift the rear.

 

‘Twas solid good sir. Honestly the truck is running completely fine. Unless there is something underlying you may know of. I think I’m gonna let the bitch ride.

 

Which bilsteins are those? 5100?

 

yessir.

$106 24-100144 5100 Series Shock Absorber

24-100144

 

What codes were set previously that triggered the CEL?

As long as code reader comes back clean, I think you're golden. But if you ever want to clear a flashing TPMS light, there's details on how to do exactly that, over here

 

Damn that's $17.50 cheaper than wheelers offroad and $27.50 cheaper than first gen offroad for the pair

 

So far i've almost spent $2k.

but i'm gonna need taller ramps.



still perfectly level.

 

how come black trucks always find red caps? Happens with Taco's too.

 

couldn’t tell you. It got scanned years ago by my pops, but I guess it wasnt a big enough issue for him to fix it while he did the timing belt.

 

No clue, mine was all luck.

 

Just like mine? A good stern look and they just fell out?
