I used lavender baby oil. Smells oh so good!

 

That’s probably the one Diddy used for the smoke show at his parties.

 

I'm going to try and make an adapter so I can stick it in the end of the intake tube with the filter element removed. I have some rubber matt that I can cut up, or maybe just tape it shut.

I tried the cleaner method before and never knew I had those two torn o-rings, so it's not fool-proof. I wanted something more reliable, and if this is what the pro's use, then I need one too.

 

They really do help. I have a diy one at home with nichrome wire and a lamp wick, helped a ton when troubleshooting rotten vacuum lines on my wife's LS430.

 

I've got this one works great

I could only bring myself to order the VB, but the order is in! Thanks for getting it together guys! I hope they have a lot of cores to build sitting around.

 

I was just about to call and decided to look for an update...Thanks! Ordered the pan, by far the best deal found online.

 

Dont hate on me for saying...Nothing wrong with a clean catch of oil and filter/strainer can be re-used.

 

Ordered! Thanks!

 

I know this is on the SC forum and a lot of people are still at work to get VB orders in. Maybe make a post in the general forum for more exposure over weekend?

 

Maybe @Jego from the turbo thread wants in on the group buy also.

Also, I haven’t spent half of what some of you guys have on this truck and I already feel I must be buried in it like @e30cabrio and his sequoia.

 

Right on! Since you guys are located so close to me can I order and pickup? Thanks!

 

Of course!

 

Order is in! Thanks again

 

10-4 order is in, ill head that way once I receive a confirmation for pickup. Thanks yall!

 

I hadn't even seen this message until just a moment ago, but Johnny's post with all the details is posted over there as well.

 

My order is in as well!

 

So it is captured here...

Pending responses from @Cruisers & Co. :

1. Which DexIII trans fluid is recommended?
2. Results of the group buy so we can all compare notes

I miss anything?

 

Pan and valvebody ordered.

 

I shouldve put a box for tundras.com username... not quite sure who everyone is

 

Old man should be ordering today as well. Told him todo the extreme instead

 

Shot you a pm.

 

So now that we’ve all spent a small fortune, who wants to discuss the notorious pan bolts and how to prevent them from snapping.

 

I'm gonna soak em in PB blaster and go lite on loosening

 

In the shop if we have stubborn bolts we will snug them up ever so slightly and then back them out. Or hit the bolt head (along the long axis, not sideways to the bolt head) several times with a brass drift/hammer to send a shockwave through the bolt to hopefully break any corrosion and then try extracting.

 

Peening helps. Also, if you have access to an induction heat tool, heat them up and let cool before loosening. I can loan mine out, but needs to be face to face in Oregon.
