What Did You Do To Your 3rd Gen Today?

[markosyko]

Finished what I grabbed last week at the pick & pull, a set of e-brake bellcranks, and a $21 almost new cat back borla exhaust. The e-brake works again, and you can't hear me coming thru the neighborhood. Good stuff!

You're wrong. I've called you out on this for the second time. Last time, I posted a picture of my BRAND NEW Sumitomo plug wires and the receipt from toyota.

You're right. I completely forgot. The dealers only had Denso for so many years I failed to adjust my thinking.

Washed her and took off tag light lenses that were full of dirt/dust. Washed them too and reinstalled, made a huge difference in light output. Then it poured rain

Swapped out cheap aluminum muffler with an OEM muffler. Sounds great and what a great difference in the way she runs!

Bwahahaahaaa! This was yesterday in Denver. The day before was also closing day at Vail, but with waist-deep gnar gnar all day. It was the best snow of the season! Looks like I can leave my rack on a bit longer

Took advantage of a rare sunny day in southeast AK and cruised around. And began stacking my new roof rack with some lights....

 

[USCG_ET09]

And some light action

And a little better shot of the new rack.

@USCG I like that rack! Make/model? Also love your truck without the door cladding!

So what did I do today? I spent a pretty penny (well not yet) getting my oil pump, timing chain, water pump and gaskets replaced. The pump seized on me on the way home from work, and I limped it home by adding some stabilizer and a bunch of heavier oil. Apparently my mech was getting 3psi at the sender. UGH.

Kind hoping its full of sludge. Only 100k miles.

WHAT???

I have never heard of this happening. Your oil pump seized? The way it was explained to me the pump on our V6 is mechanical and should work as long as the engine is turning over.

How did it seize, do you have any details?

I tell ya this much.... Painting sucks lol
