Anyone looking for heater core removal info: It is possible to remove the heater core housing without taking down the big cross bar, steering column, harness. Unscrew the windshield defrost vent assembly and pull it up off the top of the heater box. You can then wiggle it out- helps to push it...

Appreciate the write up, Scuba. Tackling this on a buddy's 96 today Edit: I was able to get it out by unmounting the windshield hvac and pulling it up away from the box.

For people looking for answers here- if your timing marks are good all your sensors etc look good- it could be that your crank sensor plate (the brass disc behind the crank pulley) is on backwards. Its dished outward, and today I had it on wrong and I had a crank no start until i flipped it, so...

Lamin-x amber fogs may go back to yellow 🤷🏻‍♂️

Did the battery solve?

Rear Lower Control arm skids w/hardware $100 + shipping Rear lower shock mount guards w/hardware $150 + shipping Both sets are brand new, never installed.

Its a little softer small bump sensitivity and mid stroke. Also a little less vibration and heim joint noise w the hd rubber bushings. I think the fcp is a little closer to what I want for city driving. Also, the icon stage ones in the rear seem a little small for a 100. I had one blow early...

Softened the ride up a bit. Still have a pop/clunk somewhere 🤔

Timing is good! The heater wasnt blowing hot through most of the cooling system bleeding, but eventually I rev’d the engine a few times and that solved it immediately.

I havent turned it yet. Belt is new, but the marks are different from the one I installed on my 100. Both mitsuboshi. It seems like this one has marks a little further from the single crank mark for the keyway instead of the hole. I appreciate your input. Also this was RH before removing belt

About to pull the pin on this Tundra am I good?

@2001LC Would you strongly advise against ultra grey on the water pump gasket?

I think the warm idle issue may be attributed to not having the idle up valve and VSV installed. I’ll get around to it eventually. Swapped in a new ngk coil and its not smelling so rich when I drive it. Next thing is to swap out the leaky pinion seal on the rear diff- same goes for my 100...

So far I fixed an exhaust leak, replaced coolant temp sensor, swapped iacv, plugged egr vacuum port, messed w timing a lot, adjusted tps (think I did it correctly) may get the allen bolts to adjust while the truck is running. Theres been a big improvement, but really want a smooth idle.

Here a couple of updated photos. I am still working out a rough idle, but otherwise its driving pretty good.
