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

I usually opt for organics. Not horrible on dust, and I like the way they feel. Not as noisy or dirty as met/semi-met.

 

Just noticed this shifty, prob not anything related but worth throwing in here I guess? That's real tinny @ 1.5 seconds, like thin metal hitting a perfect resonance. Annoying AF!

 

I'm going to pull the lower tomorrow for sure.

The ones Advics providers (which are the lower in that pic) are smaller than OEM. Which is weird to me, b/c Advics is the OEM.

 

That rant was real epic. As was the lack of mandatory line thru the username time off.

 

Sounds like a drag to me ;-)

 

@shifty` that's a lot louder than mine. I seem to remember PHM talking about shim pow, or the shims in that diagram solving his issue. I don't remember for certain though. I have the shims somewhere here, but never put them in.

 

For those who have done the Denso 12 hole upgrade on the 99 to 03 2UZ, which company did you get them from and did you have to install or repin the harness for the connectors?

 

I have not done this upgrade yet, it is on my to do list when I switch to the VVTi intake plenum. Ill most likely buy them from dirty deeds. On other forum and Facebook groups people had problems buying them from eBay. Dirty deeds is a trusted retailer. The injectors themselves are plug and play. No rewiring is necessary.

 

Parked next to this cool AC today will getting dinner this GFC camper shell was so cool

 

I have the DD12's on my 03

 

Same single clips here too. Yes one spreader on top. But 2nd one just came in the mail to add 5hp.

 

Yes suggest one until troubleshoot the sounds. IIRC OEM spreaders are like $2 pair OEM or Advance Auto pins aren't much either.

 

Are the shims greased between the pads and shims? All rust removed and grease at the points on the calipers above and below the pads as shown if look closely in the FSM diagram? This TSB is for Tacoma but shows it in more detail.

 

That's the problem. Stereo is stuck on that track only in reverse.

 

Check out gofastcampers.com
That's a ~ $10,000 rig!

 

just want to let you know I've been running this for a year or so and its been rock solid

 

Mine does the same thing, maybe not quite as pronounced as yours. Toyota master tech told me that's normal on these and laughed. Let me know if you figure something out, but I'm doubting you do. You can back them off some so they don't catch, but then they are probably not adjusted properly.

 

I was scoping the restaurant to see who it belong to.

Yeah, that camper is like $9 - $10k with minamal options and the hitch mount is another grand

 

Company I work for was loading a pallet and dragged it a little too low and caught/ripped my tailgate protector. New one just came in. Paid for by said company.

the bonus is I was missing 2 of 6 screwy clip things and the new one came with them.



the price of these is outlandish.

 

Also who here has rear seat deletes? Pics? Looking for ideas, the rears in my truck literally never get used and I'll be trying to keep them as mint as possible. I'll be yanking them out this weekend and also removing the tailgate entirely (to avoid any future mishaps. And loading/unloading pallets w/ a forklift is wayyyy easier without the tailgate.)

but yea, show me your barren rears

 

Ill try to take a pic when i get home today. Deleted my seats the second day of ownership. With an AC they are useless for passengers and I made a great storage/bench area for my tools and recovery gear and other camping stuff.

One thing I just noticed in the FSM replying to another member, I didn't lube right here where the edges of the pad touch the caliper, and the FSM tells you to. I wonder if my squeal is actually coming from the pads rubbing against the caliper right here, on both sides. You can liderally see a black square where the pad plate rubs the dust away from the caliper. I'm gonna kick myself if that's my f'n issue right now. Fortunately I can hit that spot with lub wo/removing the wheel, I think.

​

 

I hope that solves it for you! We are all learning from you troubles, haha

 

Advics kits come with the shims pre-glued to the pad with something like CRC BDQ, which is what I normally use. There was no vented shim I could see. There was virtually no rust I could see. I wiped all faces. And as a reminder, this sound was here both before, and after doing from pads. I'd argue maybe a bit more after the new pads, but ... not much more.

And yes, greased between the shim and piston faces.

Grease points are shown in the FSM here: https://www.tundras.com/threads/wha...-gen-tundra-today.2558/page-1979#post-3575486

And pics of before/after, clearly showing no grease in those spots: https://tnstatic.net/attachments/upload_2024-4-26_12-23-20-png.987944/

 

I went with Dirty Deeds on my 03. Easy plug and play.

 

Well what did you notice, gain, see or other wise have to say about it good and bad please

 

Fortunately lots of room to work with in there….

I’ll back up in a bit but highly doubt this will resolve the issue. So next will be sliding the pads out to grease between caliper and leading edge of pad.

 

It's tough to give a fair review. I replaced my old injectors with 230k+ miles and I never rebuilt them or know if they were clogged. However, I don't feel like I noticed a gain. I've been running a little higher octane for winter (88) and the truck seems a bit more responsive and "peppy." Not sure if that is just the fuel, or if the injectors are responsible by atomizing it better. I bought them because I was going to rebuild or buy new injectors and the price was close enough I thought "why not?"
For the price, I'm not sure if I would do it again. Part of my rationale is that the truck is designed to be run on the 4 hole injectors and I wonder about the smaller 12 hole injectors being more prone to clogging since I'm not running high octane fuel (91 or higher).
