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

I'm running full sythetic valvoline "squeeze pouches" 75w90 in all my diffs and TC. Though to be fair I'm almost certain I don't have the LSD. No issues at all for me.

 

Why not just pick up some additive & dump it in before you go tossing out the new fluid?

What Does a Limited-Slip Additive Do? - AMSOIL Blog
However, depending on the differential’s friction material and degree of clutch wear, chatter can still sometimes occur. The addition of AMSOIL Slip Lock will eliminate chatter in mechanically sound differentials.

 

I was always taught you shouldn't put additives into lubricants with a lubricant additive package already included. "It's not wise to double-up on lubricants..."

I wouldn't do it without the blessing of someone who was a hell of a lot more familiar with lubricants than I am.

Mobil1's "LS" lubricants already have an additive package rolled in.

 

i'll ask a chemist. my thought is you're going to throw it away anyhow, but I'll ask the chemist.

 

I mean, from my side, I'm happy to just drop $70-80 and 20 minutes on a fluid that won't chatter, then not think about it again.

But if you hear something interesting, I'm curious. I know Redline and others sell (specifically) slip-only friction modifier package.

 

in retirement he studies motor oil properties for fun. We'll see what he has to say.

 

Okaaaay…even as an engineer, I find that strange.

 

Translation: Bro likes the lube.

 

Mall crawler mode…engaged!!

 

Used it to get the car here

and cracked the windshield on the way there.

 

That corrected or at the wheels HP? Either way that thing is gonna be a rocket!! Like 911 Turbo power to weight territory

 

DOH!

 

$115 to renew registration for the car and truck. I love going into the clerks office right after they open. In, and out. Inside less than 3 minutes.

Squared away for another year.

And I’m going to shoot for more lol

 

Guy finished up my timing belt/water pump/etc. job. He was trying to diagnose why the passenger inner CV axle boot is slangin’ grease like an abuelita making tacos dorados and couldn’t find any tears or loose clamp or anything. Any thoughts?



He also noted a click coming from the driver side inner tie rod so he’s going to do all 4 when he does the LBJs. Pics of TRE and lower ball joints below.

 

That thing sounds like it doesn't want to stop revving, Crazy!

 

Working on replacing my Flowmaster, it was fun while it lasted.
While getting parts at my go to Toyota parts guy in Jackson, TN, he looked up my 04 Cats. There are 20 ea driver side available in the system around the Country. There is not a single Passenger side 04 available.
Will be looking at MagnaFlow 24406 as a replacement if I decide to replace passenger.
Anyone know much about aftermarket Cats such as Magnaflow ?

WOW, I ordered that same one from scAmazon in 2018 for $195. It been problem free for 5 years but I just recently got a P0430 code (in addition to an intermittent P0420 I've been getting for the last 2 years) so I'm about to replace both downstream O2 sensors before I pass judgement on this Magnaflow cat.

 

Cams will happen. Just not sure if they’re going in this engine, or my “rev2” I’ve got a really clean set of heads just waiting for port work and all… I’ll likely be putting another together to try and reach for 400hp

 

Can't say anything with direct experience, just that we haven't yet heard about Magnaflow, Walker, or the Summit Racing store brand cats throwing a code. Other brands, yes. I looked thru Walker's stuff and they're supposed to make a direct-fit part, but trying to make heads or tails of what should go on my truck specifically was a pain in the ass.

 

I was the first one in the door last month. Yup about 5 minutes or so and done.

 

Over here, we just walk into the grocery store and use a digital kiosk to renew. Takes about 2 minutes. But you need to go to an emissions test place 48-72 hours in advance and pass or it won't let you.

 

I do it online. Takes 10 minutes to do.

 

If that, doing it online is so easy

 

It’s when I haven’t had my

 

Where did you get that fairlead? I’ve been looking all over for a gold anodized one to go with my overall gold/black color scheme. Looks sharp.

 

Probably Subaru glass.

 

You too can have this gold fairlead if you buy a certain black one from Amazon and let the sun turn it this gold color.

Lol, poor tundra survives a rollover with the original window. A pebble decides to remove it from existence
