When my son was a high schooler he told me one time he was going to buy a stereo for his Tacoma. It was $400 and so I asked him if he really thought a high school kid should spend that much on a stereo when there were others less expensive. He...

And she’s in - took two tries, putting it in as entire unit took some patience. Thanks @The Machinist ;). Seeing the truck in the sunlight made me happy. Almost as happy as the day I’m driving it.

As far as sidetracked I went to Saskatchewan and picked up this 61 and I spent some time fixing my windmill which some internals broke during a 5 day freeze February of 21. The electric pump still worked but I like having the mechanical one...

The Machinist replied to the thread New 13BT upper thermostat housing 16331-58030 interest?.If it's just 1 piece, that's not bad price wise. All the work goes in upfront with CNC machining, you're pretty much paying for all the engineering work on the first one and labor and materials on the remainder. Once all the programming is done...

I went and paid up the DMV fees awhile back. Not sure why they don't send renewal notices, but I'm guessing it's 2 years due again. :( Last time I got moving permits and planned to get it tested the PS pump started howling, so I never went...

YES!! LS3 6.2L plus 2.9L Whipple Talking with Whipple and a counsel call in from CARB today. All is good for install and SMOG and we can mildly tune the EROD and should expect 800-830HP from the beast on a 10-11psi boost. FULL CA EMISSIONS...

The Machinist replied to the thread Is my bottom end toast?.My first thought was a rod bearing, but if it happened suddenly with a noticeable thud then this might just be what happened. Might not be a bad idea to pull the glow plugs and put a borescope down into the cylinders to see if there is any junk...

Ouch :( might be a dropped piece of precups too.

The Machinist reacted to rick_d's post in the thread Checking timing belt condition on a 1HZ with Like.
A simple inspection for cracking will help. Pre 1999 have three 10mm bolts and 4 clips to hold cover on. Post I thing are all bolts. Moving the ps reservoir helps which are three 12mm bolts Or buy a new belt and tension spring and install before...

Replaced my crappy aftermarket clutch master / slave cylinders with OEM Aisin. Got tired of having to replace these every year, and now my clutch feels NEW. And finally got around to ditching the gutted smog pump with a JimC idler. Again, stuff I...

The Machinist replied to the thread Fresh Start For A Tired 60 - 1HZ Conversion.Wiring For A 1HZ / 1FZ Alternator In An FJ60 Last month I realized that the alternator was overcharging at somewhere between 15-16 volts, which is not good!
