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

This is a little deceiving as the nose is a bit downhill, but not bad squat for an 1100 pound load- 20 bags of ready mix. Sumo springs

 

Replaced the PCV valve, pcv valve hose, and clips. PCV valve still moved (shook) pretty well but figured due to age it wouldn't be bad to change out the hose, clips, valve, and grommet. Had slight oil in the hose and the PCV valve wasn't dirty at 104k miles. Wasn't bad, only took about 10 minutes.

 

Do you have the hose part number handy? Mine is cracking and may be the cause of a slight oil leak in the area.

 

Your 2005 PCV (screw in) will be slightly different than his 2001 (press in). The hose is also a slightly different size and connects to a different location; Intake for the 2005 and Throttle Body for the 2001.

 

My oil pressure sensor had been on the fritz for awhile... then it totally stopped working.


Seeing no oil pressure was concerning, so I ordered up a new Toyota sensor from PartSouq/Dubai and installed it.


Now, that is what I expect to see from a warmed up 2UZ

 

I knew mine was screw in, I just pulled the hose yesterday to inspect pcv and thought that it connected about the same place, but I didn’t think about diameter, thanks.

 

That’s a nice clean engine, clean aluminium looks much better than my plastic. I have oil caked on that drivers PVC side, thought it might be from the valve, but on closer inspection maybe I have a valve cover leak? Going to clean it and wait.

Does anyone else get bothered by the black oil residue behind the butterfly? Everything is kept so clean after the air filter and then once inside the manifold we just dump unburned oil Vapor’s that coats everything in a sticky black film.

 

I pulled my throttle body and carefully cleaned it off the truck, then reached inside and wiped what I could on the manifold.

 

I think I'm gonna Seafoam mine soon. I've got a can of the spray. I'm desperate to get some MPG out of this truck.

 

Change the fuel filter

 

Dad laid a nugget on me once. Block the rad, drive around with as much load as possible, get the heads & pistons hot hot, then spray the seafoam or berrymans or chemtool. And have the stuff chilled. When it starts to choke bring the engine up past peak tq & let it ride for a min or so. Makes sense, done it to a few vehicles. Prolly do it on the truck eventually. After my next trip to houston i'll see how much damage a freshly oiled k&n has done over the last 10k.

 

I’m Dirty.

No fuel filter on '05-'06

 

Nope. Only the in-tank filter.

My coworker traded his 04 DC for an 08 DC because of the terrible gas mileage on the 04. He says he is getting about 17.6 on the 08.

 

I get about 15.6mpg in my 00.
I get about 15.6mpg in my 19

 

That's the problem. It needs one then haha

 

Nah, it's just one more way the VVTi is superior to the earlier models. Don't need no stinking fuel filter, we go uncut.

 

I bet you like em uncut lmfao, fuel lines I mean, of course lol

 

You know if you bump it up to 11.0:1 CR, you too could see 17.8 mpgs. Make those forged internals and toss 10 to 12 psi at it and super cruise highway at like almost 20 I bet. Not to mention wootootoo Chinese spinny boi noise

 

So maybe it's because I'm a little 'tarded, but the PHM seatbelt post reads like he sprayed the seatbelt webbing itself with silicone spray? If so that gives me the heebie jeebies.

I spend a lot of time trusting softgoods with my life while climbing and in that world gear is retired if you have any doubt about its strength of usable life. Even a 10% bleach disinfectant solution has been shown to reduce the minimum breaking strength of nylon webbing by 50% or more. Just some food for thought.

I need to do some seatbelt maintenance and will be following the @shifty` gospel of targeted lubrication to the lower mech's and upper slider.

 

I hosed mine down with silicone spray 4 years ago and it's still smooth and I haven't died yet...

 

same. Walmart silicone spray fixed my buddies focus, but we stroked the pull to help. The next day, they were good as new. No residue.

 

I highly doubt silicone spray is going to deteriorate nylon/polyester seatbelt webbing. Best fix is to just buy a new belt and install it unless you need special tools to work with those pre-charged belt retractors and not have it go off in your face.

 

Silicone spray is the way

 

I just drove from Knox to Chattanooga and back and got 16.7. Not bad considering I'm on 33's with probably 400lbs of armor and a camper shell.

 

Personally I'd go with folex and a pressure washer. Don't know why you'd spray silicon lubricant onto fabric.

 

You boys are wild.

 

I think it’s interesting you can’t buy the seat belt for the driver’s seat on my year truck but you can buy all the others ones (passenger & rear seat belts). Look it up.

 

Gotta be a stock thing. A significant collision warrants a belt replacement and the added wear and tear of being the always occupied seat.

I have a set of front belts in tan (not positive on the color without looking) from an 02 if you need one. I'll make you a tundra forums sweetheart deal.

I cant guarantee it hasn't been hosed down with questionable chemicals though.
