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

I could swear i’ve seen him throw one back together. & same, valley of dispair, i know just enough to get me into trouble. I need to dig a little deeper to find out which springs i need to stretch to let me give a little more throttle before it downshifts.

 

I think I'm sitting at 82,450 right now. We're basically neck and neck. I've been having to drive up to Helen several times the last few weeks to work a new job, and will be making several more.

 

for those of you that have purchased CVJs axles which option did you go with? I have a 2 inch lift in the front and was wondering if its worth the extra money to get the oem inner boot vs the after market version that they have available.

 

Previous commentary I've seen on here is, "If buying CVJ axles, unless you buy the premium, you'll be just as well off getting anything from the local auto parts store". Paraphrased, for sure, but the good axles start around the $400-600 price point.

 

What's a good brand that people are usually happy with?

 

Except for if you buy cvj you have an OEM axle, no? Even if the boots arent great on the lower optioned ones?

 

i dont know if anyone has been unhappy with trackmotive. I’ve only had mine 2 years, and would recommend painting the silver bits, and i reused my oem nut & cotter pin cage, but no regerts yet. I didnt transfer over my dust ring thing, and probably should have, so 1 regert.

I don't like mine. They leak.

 

Ugh... Have you seen how you drive???
No shit they leak...

 

Short of solid axle, who makes the most robust IFS 4 wheeler?

 

Like ATV or truck?
I grew up calling ATV's "4-wheelers."
And semi trucks or tractor trucks were "18-wheelers."

 

I was talking about passenger trucks, 4x4.

ATVs were anything non car truck
Big rigs were always Semis

 

Ok well then my opinion would be for the 100 and 200 series Land Cruisers, first gen Tacoma TRD, Nissan Patrol, Mitsubishi Pajero, first gen Ford Raptor.
But that's all based on hearsay, being I've only owned the Tacoma, but both mine were TRD prerunners, so no 4wd, just rear lockers.

 

They leaked the day we put them in.

 

Here's a link to my replacement and the info I gathered: A340E/F INFO DUMP | Toyota Tundra Forum

Here is an excerpt from the FSM


I don't have the A340 manual saved on my work pc. I sent a request to @Johnsonman for access to the link.

 

Good info. Thank you! If I can repair it, that would be much cheaper, definitely the preferred option here. My fluid is still clean despite its mileage and age. So hopefully it is just one bad part.

 

I would need the repair manual to find out what "Accumulator Control Valve" is and what's involved.
