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

Installed the lights, winch, wiring and Factor 55 spliced block and fairlead. Gonna change out the 5 cooler lines while I have access. I've got the covid though so I ran outta steam after a bit. Might work on it tomorrow. Bumper install next week.

 

Preach. I can drive my 03 with stock tires, 4.10's thru the hill country, with the cruise control set to 75mph and it will never shift out of overdrive.

 

My brakes have started squealing as I slowly pull out of the garage in the morning. It's REALLY annoying and I'm sure my neighbor can hear it. I need to get my wife out here to help me figure out if it's the front or rear brakes. I put new OEM rotors and pads up from just last September and I thought I used an appropriate amount of brake grease. So, I'm thinking it may be the rear drums that are making the noise. The video below makes the process of replacing the rear drums in our trucks look easy. I also might be able to just pull the drums off and apply brake grease to those 3 points behind each shoe. Thoughts?

 

Did not mow.....I think we'll try that next week when we have time to get more than 1 yard done.

I did try again (rained out first try) and picked up a friend's riding mower. Pulled back on the single axle. He's thrown off a belt. I think I can fix it.

Already off loaded and washed it. It's easier to work on clean mowers than dirty ones.

 

Finally got around to replacing the 3rd brake light, 20 years of Florida sun has not been kind to that thing. eBay to the rescue

 

The rears last so long have opened them up to spray out brake dust, and also removed the springs, shoes, and adjuster, cleaned everything, re-greased adjuster and contact points, reassembled, bled, and adjusted. But IMHO squeals likely come from the front. Did you use OEM pads? Did you grease per FSM? did you use shims?

 

Thanks.
