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

Saved, and saved, thx. Looked for that yesterday and came up empty handed..

 

I just ordered an alternator from them. I wonder if I gotta use a different box for the core? Lol

 

Keep it and get it rebuilt

So I'll call first thing in the morning and hope they were slow on the shipping. If not, I'll ask about returning and if they would charge the restock fee or not.

 

pry the needle off the gauge and reposition it up 1/4 further. Done and done with zero money out of the pocket.

 

What part of the Greatest State in the Union are ya in?

 

I am in Houston

 

Nice, I'm just south of there.

 

Pussy galore!
My cat loves to get on my shoulders

 

Ok, vented the radiator cap & got a few drops of coolant off the a/c compressor. Inside of the block valley is moist again, after being dry yesterday. Anyone got a pic of where the waterpump weephole is? Front of the block & timing cover are dry.

 

I fixed the broken plastic on the door panel armrest and installed new speakers while I was in there. Turned out pretty damn well.

 

Flower Mound (DFW) here

 

Would this be a head gasket? Do you have any white smoke from tailpipe or oil in coolant? Hopefully just a hose fitting.

 

New mountain hatch tailgate cover replaced the old inserts also


My old one was for an access cab

 

No smoke & oil is clean. Since it was dry until i vented the rad cap, i'm gonna guess its not under pressure while running. I can see the drip from the block to the ac compressor, and from the compressor to the oil pan, but its gotta be 2-3 inches behind the face of the block. My worm clamp leak came back also, but is pooled on top of the shroud, so i know its not that. And the t-stat housing is on the pass side, so i'm ignoring that.

 

Those are sweet

 

what’d you do with the old one for the AC??

 

The cut outs look specific, what are the square ones intended for?

 

Rolling tray

 

That was my next question. I'd love one....

 

I use mine for rc parts/ screws when I’m camping. I use my tailgate like a workbench for everything. The old cover was to short and I would loose screws a lot. Not sure what they are actually for.

I just put it up on offer up. If you are interested. I’ll give you a solid deal it’s a 7/10 right now. Need a good cleaning

 

New Corbeau Trailcat seats.

 

What do you mean "vented the rad cap" and that it isn't "under pressure" when running? If not it would overheat, right?

 

What are the odds, I just saw those seats for the very first time 10 minutes ago in a FBMP add... (new frame!)

 

Awesome!

Isn’t there a coolant line that runs through the valley? I thought that’s what sometimes leaks into the valley and fouls up knock sensors?

The second one looks like the one I have, except mine is as tall as the first one.

Edit: oh because AC vs DC... Carry on

 

Might have to look into one of those Mountain Hatch plates. I also use my tailgate as a work table, and the previous owner put a dent in it, so my saws wobble a bit... Have thought about cutting some aluminum plate to use for this, but seeing someone actually makes them already...
