1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

. Yes, your eyes are not deceiving you, recent and not 1999, my gas at little over a dollar.

 

Is that last year? Sounds about right if it was down South; here the cheapest I paid was $1.29/gal. Back in 99 I could get gas for $0.79/gal in Alabama.

 

what uses 86 octane?

 

Oh shit, how did I miss that?

 

Per liter?

 

I just Google search Rock auto discount and I've never not found a 5 percent code.

Gas was $0.99 here in KY for at least 2 days in the past couple years.

 

Our swim team coach has a 2008 Tundra. For his birthday, the kids got him a nice Yakima rack. I told him today we could switch trucks for a day and I would install it for him. He said - about that, the truck needs 8K of work, I might sell it. He spent 2K on something. I told him to get me the printout from the shop. He has to look for it, but something about removing the engine. He went in with a bad fuel pump. I'm guessing that was the 2K. But he remembers "new belt, cracks on something, leaking oil" as the big problem. What could be cracked other than the block and need the engine pulled? I haven't asked if its 2/4WD. If he sends me the estimate / printout, I'm hoping you guys can help me nail it down. 2nd gen and all.

 

Leaky cam tower?

 

Would you pull the engine for that? I honestly don't know. But you may be right. My fear is that they are f-ing him. The belt could be a timing belt, I'm assuming Toyota kept those after gen 1

 

Tundras could get the 2uz until ‘09 or something.

 

What would that mean?

 

Same 4.7 as us.

4.7L until 2009. Theres a chance you already know your way round the engine bay. Our 08 squaw has the 4.7L

 

man, thats alot of soove for the 4.7. i thought my ‘04 was slow. And the ‘08 probably has an extra 1000 lbs on it.

 

Not really. I'll have to nab a pic of the GVW sticker when I get home. The squaw actually moves Purdy good. Think it's them extra air ponies them 2005+ rep

Ah, thanks boys. When I hear crack, leak, belt, pull engine - I think the timing belt, pulling the engine is maybe a bullshit excuse to make the belt, water pump, etc easy. I think @FrenchToasty hit the common issue of cam tower for the leak. Maybe the crack is that as well, or a motor mount if pulling the engine is really a thing. I think they are trying to fuck him, but I don't know what they are claiming yet.

 

Texas. About a month ago.

 

That has to be a set up. That's not library thug life.

 

Per gallon

 

07+ tundra and 08+ sequoia 4.7s have a different oil pan setup that won’t work in 1st gens. They also have the SAIS valves on the valve covers. Past that same motor as 05-06 tundra

 

So could you just change the pan, and the plop one in a 1GT?

 

I should stop engaging new guys.

I've pretty much quit trying for newbs.. @shifty` summed it up in one post somewheres while also engaging a newb..

Can't find that post now, but I guarantee you he will be able to find it in 2.5. That man is a fucking wizard of the internet if I ever saw it.

 

He has the system of wizards. Probably a catalog of posts and everything he ever learned. Both too simple and too difficult for the common man to grasp.

 

@shifty` cataloging system is built about like this.

Ain’t no Kroger here.

 

Reads like someone that is just trying to brag about their truck.
