    Padding on Trim Panels

    Hello all, I'm hoping you guys might be able to help me out with a question about the purpose of the foam padding on the back of trim panels. Recently, my vehicle was parked in a location that flooded (see picture), and the whole floor board was filled with water. The carpet was ruined and had...

    AAE or Cardone Select New steering rack?

    Bump. I'm looking at these as well. I'm leaning towards the Cardone Select because of the Limited Lifetime warranty. It seems like if it fails for any reason, they'll replace it. A good deal cheaper than the OEM rack as well. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

    My truck is hot... too hot?

    Just an update on the overheating issue. I flushed the rad this past weekend, flipped the thermostat, and refilled with 50/50 Toyota red coolant and water and I'm seeing <190° with 110°+ intake temp. That darn jiggle valve. Thank you everyone for the help and advice! Sent from my Nexus 5 using...

    Tundra Brake Upgrade Wheel Advice

    Thank you guys so much for all the suggestions. I've decided to just go with the stock rotors and pads for now and do the upgrade right in the future. If I'm gonna do it, I want to do it right, and I would have to compromise right now. Also, I was planning on just putting rotors and pads from...

    Tundra Brake Upgrade Wheel Advice

    Good morning, everyone. I'd like to poll the audience on something because I just can't figure out the best way to go about this dilemma. So it seems that I have the only set of rims for my model year (1999) that don't fit with the Tundra brake upgrade, and I'm not going to grind down the...

    Surging Due to Dashpot - Possible Solution

    Problem is, it's not actually an issue with the Dashpot. It's an issue with the throttle body spring being weak. The only way to get a throttle spring is to buy the throttle body... Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

    Surging Due to Dashpot - Possible Solution

    Also, I would like to make this design a little cleaner. I was thinking a bike brake cable attached like the throttle cable with a spring in compression on the other end? I don't know if it would work any better, but it may look better! Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

    Surging Due to Dashpot - Possible Solution

    Sorry for the confusion. Yes. This is the setup I'm running right now. It seems to have helped significantly. I can post part numbers of the springs and packaging pics later too. I was just wondering if anyone else had done something like this. Apparently they have!

    Surging Due to Dashpot - Possible Solution

    Hello all. So I bought my 1999 5 spd about a year ago, and ever since then I've had this issue where if the truck is in lower gears (1st and 2nd), the truck will lurch like the brakes are being applied when the gas pedal is released. Now, this issue was due to the Dashpot not "softening" the...

    My truck is hot... too hot?

    It's $33 on Amazon, so that's good to know. I almost pulled the trigger on it. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

    My truck is hot... too hot?

    I supplied all OEM parts to the shop except coolant. There was green in there before, so I don't really blame them. I'll definitely post back with the results. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
