05' Acab 4x4 V8 310k miles - Your opinion needed

Well this is weird. I also noticed mine came with the 245s on an sr5. I dunno man, it seems trim doesn't matter for options.

 

The bottom red box is what came standard/included with limited package and the top box is what was installed as an upgrade as ordered by the dealer/buyer.

 

I'm 90 percent sure that isn't true. More like 2003. U got a usa one

 

Dunno. Maybe standard Limited pkg was 60/40. The captains chairs were definitely a factory install per the sheet, but they definitely didn't install cloth.

 

Mine also shows 245s and mine has the TRD package.

 

I would think that had more to do with the casting of the steel and where it was done than the assembly. What specifically grenaded on the supercharger fails?

 

sais fails more on US engines.

 

Only the Land Cruiser and 4runner got a jap v8, sequoia and tundra are all American made post 03

 

Is this true??? I'd love to somehow verify this information because thats great news for all gen 1 owners. Suck it gen two, our trucks are Japanese

 

Isn't that false because they didn't have any engine plants until around 2002?

 

2003. I hit the post button before finishing the sentence lol

 

But the jap vs American motors? No difference. Myth is all that exists. The ones that popped with the blower all had more boost than intended.

 

What is sais? If its what I think it is, our earlier trucks don't have that

 

Makes sense. I have a really hard time believing that if the blueprints are the same and the materials, that Japanese men are THAT much better than Americans. Like yes I understand its a whole different ball game to those Japanese dudes, but its still a Toyota plant. They gotta be the same lol

 

The rod castings all still came from Japan. I think only the block and head castings were new and American Made

the rods are the weak link

 

Hell in the 1gr world? The Japanese engines have headgasket issues the American ones rarely have.

 

Shoulda prayed to sojobo.

Update:

The Tundra sold before the carfax issue was fixed. Onto the next one.

 

Happens everytime. Was it longer than a day though?

 

I studied Japanese manufacturing techniques for 10 years. All the car makers initially had problems implementing their systems with American workers. There are many reasons for this, of course, but the primary reason is the workers...not their skills, but their attitude. Japanese workers are taught "it's never good enough" whereas American workers are like "eh, fuck it!". I'm not blaming American workers, however, it's the ~ hundred years of bad management that are to blame.

 

Isn't it also a culture thing? Like if they do a bad job in Japan it brings shame to their family?

 

Indeed!

 

Then they have to commit sudoku in front of the bosses.

 

My mother used to play that game all the time when she bought the newspaper.

I believe you meant hari-kari.

 

Its moms bday, so i'll probably commit scrabble later today.

 

I guess that's better than committing a felony. Or a monopoly? Dammit, too many words in this language.
