Re: Re: Re: Another tail light thread..(i found led's) I might suggest converting the blinkers and reverse lamps to LED as well, if you have the means/ability to fab something up. Might as well do the whole deal.

Did you read this part? Normally a fluttering vacuum gauge would indicate weak valve springs or worn valve guides. Are you comsuming oil at all? I suggest you take your truck to an engine/valvetrain-oriented shop. The dealership will no doubt have a good engine guy, and probably a...

Anybody running 10" wheels on their 3rd gen? What size/model tires do you have? Any rubbing issues? How does the steering feel? Does your rig track straight on the street/highway? I'm planning a little far in advance, since I don't have a 4Runner yet, but I will hopefully be driving...

:D ...That's a joke, right?

not on a roots blower. BOVs are used to divert back surge away from the compressor on a turbo or centrifugal supercharger, so that it doesnt force itself back through the compressor, which will slow down or stop the compressor wheel from turning, increasing lag (with a turbo) and possibly...

Unfortunately a lot of innocent people, including children, get killed that way. :( They can't stop the convoy or slow down enough to risk being attacked, so when somebody's kid can't get out of the way fast enough, they get run over.

How do you know when you're at a gay bar-b-que? The hotdogs taste like shit.
