Sounds like air to me. Blown master usually doesn't build pressure ever, or leaks externally. Has the master been replaced recently?

Try "bench" bleeding the master, then power bleeding the rest, and if that doesn't fix it, yeah, swap the master.

I agree it does sound like air, it's just escaping me where it is. Hopefully bleeding the master itself will help. I'd thought about doing it for a while but never have on this.

Neither Jacob or I replaced the master, but it does look Newer to me so it's possible the guy in between us did. It has a part number sticker with a QR code so not original for sure.

More than 4.5 years after having purchased most (but not all) of the new window felts needed for my front doors, I finally installed them today. @roadstr6 graciously hosted me at his house last Saturday to provide a watchful eye and tips, but as we prepared to start, we realized I was missing the inner and outer horizontal felts for both doors. As the pic shows, the outer ones were no longer up to the job.

I searched for the parts online and ultimately scored a great price from the Toyota dealership in Concord (thanks to @lowtops for having mentioned their website ages ago).

Next up is rust converter and encapsulation, before new weatherstripping.

Not any hardcore wrenching but changed the oil on the tundra. I'm amazed how clean the oil is at almost 333,333 after 5,000 mipe on it.

I also decided to upgrade the headlights (housings and bulbs) integrated third brake light/cargo light and license plate lights with brand new top of the line morimoto stuff.
I can actually see well at night out in the dark area I live in. Still need to dial in the cutoff this weekend but I set it low for the time being to avoid accidently blinding people in front of me.
I'm also going to he giving the old girl some love by rewrapping the steerling wheel leather having apolstry shop reform and stitch the drivers seat. Remaining the front bumper, do synthetic line on the winch. Also will do replacement bilstein trd shocks and springs, trd rear sway, redo all bushings and might do RCI skids as the stock ones are missing and a LRA 46 gallon tank. It would be nice to never have to stop for gas when I do these 700 mile drives for work. Maybe sliders as Andrea and other family members have asked me to do steps for them to get in.

Finally feels like I am getting some actual progress done on the 55 with my dad after several years sitting in his garage. Having a son last year definitely motivated us to get working on it. POR'd the frame and almost done getting the engine put back together--then tackle the interior and dust off the welder to weld on the replacement rocker panels and fender patches.

I posted a while back about my ‘82 FJ40 having low compression in two cylinders. As it turned out, the head gasket did blow between cylinders 4 & 5. Pulled head for a refresh. New HG. Old truck lives again.

New TURD/PRO Fox shocks getting ready to go on the Tundra for fun in the CA dunes at KOH, with some road active suspension to help with towing the 80 1,300 miles.

It's Xmas!!, Close enough for spit. Tremec 6 speed.
I get excited when any of this stuff shows up. This time it's my money buying components. Adding up fast. Life is short, go for the brass ring!!

 

[NCFJ]

Turns out I was right, it is Xmas!!!
This is an LS3 crate motor from GM rated at 525 hp, cammed up. I can't wait to hear a bit lumpier idle than the stock 430 hp LS3 crate motors.

The engine and trans are sitting in their final spot. Had to remove the rack and that will be lowered a bit. The tunnel will only need attention on top ad the trans and bell housing fit well. I'll have to do a little creative work on the fire wall for better access on the bell housing top center bolt. Two inches between front top of intake and the hood. Plenty of room for shorty headers. Steering shaft might be tight, will not know for sure until new location for the rack is determined. Hoist is now removed as is leveler, sitting there on it's own.
Engine and trans in place has me smiling ear to ear.

Thanks Eric, walked out of the shop with a big smile on my face today No big surprises and I might even be able to fit a cross brace over the engine, it's tight.

Anybody near-ish NC that is a 12V wizard? I'm absolutely getting crushed trying to fix EVAP codes on a 200 series.

Spoke too soon. VGND had a break in continuity somewhere, so I just ordered a whole new harness. Hopefully that's the end of this nightmare.

The 2nd row tilt release handle broke on my 2011 200 and I am having a hard time identifying the part number. It's the handle, screw, snd the plug. Ive seen diagrams but I cant seem to figure it out, hoping one of yinz can assist.

Did two front wheel bearings along with FOX TRD 2.5 resi struts/spring and shock install and F/R diff fluid on the Tundra.

Finding a rent a lift place was a game changer..... but my f-d up shoulders and back still didnt like it.

Today the redarc brake controller goes in.
Then oil change, coolant drain and fill, trans drain and fill (driveway 13 qt method) and tcase drain and fill.
