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

Man, sweet rotor and caliper combo... matches the icons too, eh?

 

If you only knew the saga behind these. Much headache and ridicule has come out of this. But yes, they do look nice.

 

Im all ears if you care to share haha sounds interesting

 

I did 4qts of WS followed by 8 of Maxlife. So probably 40-50% WS/Maxlife in my trans now. Shifts might be a slight bit firmer, which would mean less clutch wear in the long run.

I did it for better shear & higher temp stability, since the Maxlife is synthetic. Not that I'm currently towing anything but if I ever need to, I'd prefer it be ready.

 

CEL fixed itself. Cool. Maybe my fiddling with the gas cap did something after all.

 

Bulb burnt out

 

Optimist

 

Na, I’m just an asshole

 

I know
Haha

 

Took out my dash today

 

Hmmmm, maybe that's why mine isn't on anymore either.....

 

My CEL was on since 2008~ish 2 hours a day. Until I put that 02 fouler on.
Conservative hour estimate is 5 days a week, 2 hours a day. 52 weeks a year X 10 hours a week equals 520 hours per year.

Roughly 13 years X 520 annual equals 6,760 hours... is that right? What's the lifetime rating on one of those bulbs? I realize it's different than the rest of the cluster. Much closer to a 194 than a 74?

 

To early for Maffs. Go to bed.

 

I attribute many things to Hand Mojo. This is a perfect example that you have it. Some people have good Mojo and others well...

 

I ain't have enough fangers, toofs, or tows so I used that schmancy pewter right'chonder. Helped me out wif them methmetics

 

Round hea we calls it Rithma Tick.

 

It's just meth here. Errybody doin it. Well, the fellers at the gas stations anyways.

 

Still waiting on your Gas n’ Goe Stories...

 

And the brake shenanigans story

 

Does anything pass through that metal pipe structural support? Weird how it's thicker on the driver's side than the passengers.

 

Guaranteed occupant on drivers side.

 

Guaranteed??? Lol

 

I made steel flatbar ‘skis’ in highschool metalshop that strapped to my boots. 16” long and curled up in front. All the way down center street. Honking, flashing, and running redlights. Dude who owned the harley s/c f150 was a metal fan, so we had unintelligible screetching, wild guitar, and double bass blaring through jl audio 13w7s.

 

Nothing goes through it ..its probably smaller on the passenger side to make room for the air bag assembly .

 

Update on the "clunking sound" coming from my 06 DC.....it only happens at slow speeds and turning, I've narrowed it down, and it's 100% coming from the front. i can replicate the sound while parked by turning all the way right, then bringing it back to the left, I get a distinct pop sound right around when the wheels are straight, the same spot every time. doesn't do it going the other way.

Any ideas? everything feels really solid as far as sway bar links, control arms, etc. I can't get under the truck and turn the steering wheel at the same time, but that's the next step, once I have someone to give me a hand.

 

how do your CV axles look?

 

Put someone with a decent ammount of sense in the dr. seat. Have them gently cycle the gears, while you hold on to the chassis, and plan to bail as soon as things go wrong.. if its loud enough to hear, you can hear it from underneath.

 

CV axles look fine visually.....not sure exactly what it would look like if they weren't fine.

Rack and pinion bushings maybe? could that be a possibility?

 

Got 4 OEM center caps. Crazy how Toyota wants close to $400 bucks for 4 caps, I only paid $30 for all . Pics old vs New. As y’all can see they were much needed.

 

If you ever get your tires replaced, always remove the center caps first. You’d be surprised how often those things get broken. Usually not visible till you remove them after you get home.
