Topic: Duffil's 84 Xtra Cab is still bringing the suck

[CrazyYota]

about 8 months ago I put in an  AutoGage Temp/volt/oil pressure cluster..I never hooked up the temp gauge.  When it goes back together, it will have the temp gauge hooked up.

are those the ones on your dash

I thought you were going to get 1022021.  that box says 1022024.   Change your mind?

congratulations!! you are the only person paying attention!!  I'm not sure what happened...I think I was drinking when I posted that up, because the 1022024 has a little higher torque numbers all the way up the powerband.  [spoiler]So, either I changed my mind, posted the wrong info(read: ), or they sent me the wrong part.  Take your pick. [/spoiler]

edit: i couldn't resist.

  I think it's all of the above! 


I'm paying attention because i'm trying to figure out what the hell i'm doing with my build.  haha.   I better go take some pics and put it in my thread.  haha

EDIT:  why does end quote not work anymore??

[Duffil [OP]]

Dave, you had better mark that down.

OK so I  and now I feel ready to go out.  damn the bars just closed. 

to MiniSimp

OK so for tomorrow I still have to:
adjust the valves
install thermostat
install AC Compressor
install radiator/hoses
install belts
install temp sender for AutoGage gauges
install engine to trans bracket
finish routing vacuum lines/install air cleaner
add oil
break in cam

post a shitload of pics

[skipnrocks]

How do you break in a cam?  I have a new one in my motor but I never thought much about breaking it in.

[Duffil [OP]]

run the engine at 1500-1800 RPM for20-30 minutes, as per LCs instructions.

[skipnrocks]

THen do you have to change the oil after that?

[Duffil [OP]]

[spoiler] it is alive!!  gonna go run it a while to get some time with it...I need to relearn how to drive it.[/spoiler]

[Wermz84]

Thats what i've been told.   run 20 min, change oil.

[spoiler] it is alive!!  gonna go run it a while to get some time with it...I need to relearn how to drive it.[/spoiler]

Woohoo!    what? it's been that long.   

[Duffil [OP]]

yes, it has.  I just got back...went about 50miles.  When I first got behind the wheel, I was NOT impressed.  It felt totally stock...very little lope, it wasn't peaky at all...I couldn't figure it out.  Then I put the hammer down.  This thing will spin the tires in 1st gear hi/hi, where it never would before.  It has loosened up a bit, and I am liking it more and more.  It feels like a totally stock truck...with a shitload of torque. Where my last cam was a little flatter until my vac advance kicked in(and then hold on) this thing is strong all the way from idle.
 It idles WAY smoother than it ever has before...and actually so low(read:where it is supposed to) that I need to step up to a 20w50 oil; there is a oil pressure related tick until it gets back to 35psi.  It is running a little warm I think, at around 220, but I have not tuned the carb for this cam, and I am waiting on a BVSV from Toyota tomorrow to replace one that I broke.\

I should note that I have the adjustable cam gear set at stock right now, and am running at stock distributor timing instead of my usual 15*. 

[Duffil [OP]]

 




 and it's back on the road!

[skipnrocks]

Awesome! bet it feels good to have it goin strong again! 

[*** YELLER ***]

SWEEEEEEET nice work bud 

good job 



 

[*** YELLER ***]

BTW does your shaved axle get warmer now that you shaved it, you know cause it has less oil now or am I mistaken in my assumtion, shaved meens less oil and warmer temp.

I don't know.  I never paid attention to it before, and I really only felt it when I was breaking in my gears.  I think in theory, it probably should.

Then you arent worried about it     if yer not then I wont 




 

[Duffil [OP]]

well, I have thought about it, and I do plan on flipping the fill plug to let it hold some more fluid.  I don't think I'll do it to this housing, but I will do it when I get an IFS rear.

[*** YELLER ***]

but I will do it when you give me that IFS rear.

  fixed it fer ya bud 



 

[skipnrocks]

What are you refering to when you say IFS rear?  I only know that to mean independant front suspension?   

[*** YELLER ***]

What are you refering to when you say IFS rear?  I only know that to mean individual front suspension?   

86 and up rear axle is wider than 85 and older 




 

[*** YELLER ***]

What are you refering to when you say IFS rear?  I only know that to mean individual front suspension?   

and I belive its INDEPENDENT FRONT SUSPENTION

I am going to use the old front end off of Daves truck so I can have independent rear suspension, and i want to shave the IFS housing because it is really hairy.
