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

Little softer than the billys. Are you gonna use OE springs? I might drop them to 2.25 if ever have the time to pull em again and want to wrestle with the springs. More for getting a little rake than worrying about the ride. I'm used to it stiff though as had the Billy's for 100k prior at full height 2.5". These are warranted that high though while billy say not use at those clip settings.

 

Nothing on my Tundras. Changed out the oil pan gasket on wife’s Suburban LS5.3 due to a leak. About 120K miles previous it had a similar leak and I was temporarily disabled with a bicep tendon tear so I took it to a garage. They replaced the gasket and a couple month later it started the Vortec tick. Everyone I talked to said it was a bad lifter. Well low and behold I found the little green oil ring on the oil pickup tube was split. Replaced it and now My oil pressure went from 20 to45 at idle and 40 to 80 at high RPM and no more Ricky-Ticky-tick as my kids call it. Score! Should have done this 100K ago.

 

For the most part, yes. But around here it's a lot more to do with clay and sandstone. There's some iron oxide, but it's more the clay and sandstone.

 

Damn, geologist Beau just took me to school

 

Ive had a DD full race custom exhaust and no gaskets either. one or 2 joints/conectors have leaked for about a year now. Im getting ready to add gaskets or weld it. Dont know which route I should go? Im also getting a 2nd set of mid pipes for my high flow cats.

 

damn I really need to read things all the way through. Another $80 for this. The $50 was design service fee LOL

 

Added lights and built a little platform for the back. Got to try out camping in it for the first time and man is it better than a rooftop tent or cot tent. It was super windy all night and I didn’t hear anything.

 

Excellent work. I'd probably gash my head on those bolts sticking out of the ceiling

 

Im sure he hasnt had time to cut them down yet. But when i had a similar setup in my last camper shell, I cut those short and put acorn nuts over them to smoothen them out.

 

Yeah... the plan is to use them to hang a mesh net from the ceiling, but they need to be chopped down for sure hahahah.

 

Honestly, just for your scalp's sake, throw vacuum line caps over them. I do this with any exposed bolts where skin may come in contact. Your body's largest organ will appreciate it.

Heh, that's novel ( ), you think people read these days? That's why book banning is a huge thing right now, and why there's such a heavy push to abolish/control education lately. Can't have anyone taking in information outside your control/narrative. In the age of the internet, it's all about listening to the "biggest disruptor" and following the sheeple herd. Has anyone ever said it better than this here quote from a very famous guy we all know?

Anyway, the Tundra helped me clean off my latest rebuild project, bed mount rack makes keeping the bike stationary super easy. Got a lot more work to go...

(img didn't load, weird)

Got my balls changed out today upper and lowers OEM. GOD she drives lovely now. So smoooooth.

 

The belt line window trim had deteriorated since the build date of July 99, so it was time to replace. Very easy process, costly, but worth it I think.

?

 

Oh yeah…my super skinny wrench.

 

No, they are custom gaskets or universals. DD exhaust systems are custom made.

 

No issues with my gaskets.

 

This is the header gaskets that @empty_lord recommended. They worked great on my 03. On my 06 the passenger side leaked and I had to bring the truck back to the muffler shop for them to install the gasket that came with the JBAs

 

any link to the gaskets you bought? were talking exhaust system joints right? not manifold

 

I just have whatever the muffler shop used.
Yes, system joints.

 

Anyone know if there is a gasket between the throttle body and the intake? I’ve seen a few videos and not sure if there is one. I want to clean mine with the maf tomorrow and don’t want to be stuck with needing a gasket. May as well just use the cleaner and a rag to get most of it

 

No gasket between the TB and intake tube.

 

Sorry not the intake tube. Can’t remember what it’s called, I take plenum? The backside of the throttle body

 

Pretty sure theres a gasket there.

 

Between the throttle body and intake manifold? I believe so. There was on my LS430, which has the same intake manifold.

Metal gasket with rubber edges. Like the water pump gasket.

 

Rag and throttle body cleaner it is

 

Thank you sir. I need a set of those for the headers assdog brought me.

 

^^^^FTW

I have RTV on mine and they leak.

 

I think it's a just a generic pipe gasket the shop used. I wish I could be more helpful. I think he said he got em from an auto part store. But this was like 3 years ago.
Maybe check with your local auto parts store or muffler shop.
