    Builds A Touch of Gray build

    One of the best builds and most capable driver/rig combos I’ve ever seen. Very sad to see the 80 that made me want an 80 go down. I’ve got many good memories of your rig, many, but nowhere the amount that you created with it. Take solace in the fact that even though it’s gone the memories and...

    What size is the factory sub in an 80

    I gotta be honest, I can’t remember. Sorry about that. Knowing myself I probably bypassed it if I had to guess. I will say the speakers I put in to replace the old door speakers still sound fantastic and I know they are only running off the Pioneer head unit I put in, no amp at all.

    Death of a 3UR

    @Bryanseye Very sorry about all the headache surrounding this.

    No, not in my case either.

    Sure it’s Blackmon Imports in High Point NC. The owners a great guy, and also way into Cruisers.

    Death of a 3UR

    I can’t really say exactly, the shop that did the work is ran by a fellow Cruiserhead and a friend of mine so I didn’t really feel the need for an exact breakdown in my bill. I would say that a good approximate guess would have been around 10 hours for everything.

    Death of a 3UR

    Oh and something that I meant to mention and forgot in my update. Both mechanics that looked at it after this happened was initially certain it was a bad injector as neither one could hear it pinging when they could hear the others. But after the injector was swapped the miss was still there. We...

    I felt the same way.

    Death of a 3UR

    Picked up the 200 this Saturday and am pleased to report that it’s running well again. Here’s what I can tell you for me and my instance and my eventual road I went down for the repair. My initial plan was to have all the springs replaced and do all the “while you’re in the preventative...

    Death of a 3UR

    I never had any noticeable top end racket or power issues under load but I haven’t towed anything in several months. Did make a few mountain trips and never noticed any power issues though. I can’t recall exactly what the CEL code was initially when I had the CEL and check VSC system that...

    Death of a 3UR

    That’s exactly what @Bryanseye said when I talked to him earlier. Must mention he’s been a big help with great insight on this problem. I’m going to go ahead and put my flame suit on for this next statement- I may be wrong but I could see this problem being similar to the head gasket issue in...

    Death of a 3UR

    Bumping this thread as the same thing just happened to my 200. 2010 with 200,000 miles. #5 exhaust valve broke. Truck was running fine cruising at highway speed when all of a sudden the dash lit up like a Christmas tree and had a bad miss. Similar backstory as well, a few months ago got the...

    If you're using a WIX oil filter read this

    Decided to bump my old thread, partly as a continual PSA for new folks and partly because I realized I never really updated my eventual outcome. After several months of back and forth with WIX I decided to just chalk it up to an expensive lesson learned and fix it all on my dime. In the end I...
