ok a little update    just order some stuff from the toy dealer spindle bushings and cam/caster bolts.


MY truck has been running really crappy lately.  i can just smell the fuel has been hesitating,  idles rough some times after siting over night i start her up and she missed bad  then clears up.

I checked the AFM ,TPS,O2  they look fine .  I think my LC infectors are leaking + they are realy loud  the loudest thing in the engine compartment.  with out pulling them i     I could put my old ones back in  but i need seals and have them checked   if im gona go threw that

man LC  has been getting some bad quality control lately

[unclejpl4x4]

i started the truck this morning to get it to miss then pull the plugs to see if one was wet.......... i pulled on the shifter and hit the clutch cansel butten......it was still in gear almost hit my shed


well of coarse it ran fine  so i pulled the plugs and took a pic.  Now this plugs arnt that old  maybe 5000-8000mles. I have 17,985 on the moter
when i pulled the second and third plugs i could smell gas   but  did only start the truck for 10sec





gonna clean them up with the HF plug cleaner and put them back in  unless my spare set looks better.
   

[unclejpl4x4]

ok pull off the valve cover to do valves  so far all are good but #1 in. was a little tight and  #4

[79coyotefrg]

  is it me or does it appear the lobe is worn "funny"

did ya have any clearance at all on that



Joe, I'm sorry i'm dragging my feet,  i have everything loose even got the lower a arm on the drivers side off but it still wont fall out

  i'll work at it again later this evening

[unclejpl4x4]

the pic is crooked  i look at all of them  i don't no what # lobe that was i think it was 2# cly  thy look fine to me i took like 6 pics of the whole cam but the camera focused on the rails not on the lubes
I could not  get the .008 feeler in  but it was losse  like .006 i think.

you need to run a higher quality spark plug  i ran a bosch platinum plug and it ran great. but when i steped up to the E3 plugs OH MAN!!!! i swear a 5HP increase and probably 2MPG's better. pricey yes but the quality is unbeatable i bet it'll run a ton better with some platinum plugs

[unclejpl4x4]

it's my belief the plugs is the "effect" of a problem  im still looking for a "cause" 

[GJToyotabug]

its the sience stuff how the tollerances are set up on the toyota engines it requiers a better burn to weak of a burn makes it run like

[79coyotefrg]

front gears on getting very close to being shipped

[THK Matt]

maybe I need a better plug too then... it smells HELLA rich when I drive/idle.
I can smell the gas. lol

I run NGK V-Powers

[THK Matt]

should I bump up to the NGK G Power Platinums or NGK Iridium IX?

or...

Bosch Platinum +4?

[unclejpl4x4]

 I have been wanting to try the NGK Iridium IX

[GJToyotabug]

i love my E3 plugs they work awesome!! with my talor 8.2MM wires and accel coil does awesome!!

[unclejpl4x4]

well the truck is running better but still not right im gonna pull the plugs in a week or to  for clues.

i think im gonna pull the fuel tank wed night  to weld my frame I got wheels for a week. I do have a ?  dose the fuel pump on the efi have a sock on them? if so it would be a good time to replace it and check for scale in the tank.  

also been debating on buying a marlin assembled rear  with 4:88 and a lock right.    what else do i need outer seals and beerings ? 

[GJToyotabug]

its not woth pulling the tank unless the pump goes out

[unclejpl4x4]

took the bed off last night  gonna drop the tank today  then some grinding/welding

he's repairing the frame, so yes it is worth it.


and yes there is a sock on that fuel pickup Joe.

[unclejpl4x4]

    im screwed  

i can't get the union apart  and the line now has a pin hole pissing gas . the whole assembly is rusted  


i need a DR  patient down  need the crash cart   ASP



it's broke

[Oddmar]

Send me the whole fuel sending unit, Unc, and i'll repair it for you.

You won't recognize it when you get it back.

But you gotta pay shipping both ways.

[unclejpl4x4]

ill pm U jake  .


ok  so got the fuel tank out and sand blasted the frame  not done yet ...................

[unclejpl4x4]

some more

[79coyotefrg]

you are sand blasting on a tarp so you can reuse the grit right

[THK Matt]

damn id almost just backhalf that thing Joe.

whack the frame clean off at the last cab body mount and make a new frame.
thats bad! lol

id be afraid it will just start rotting from the inside more and more.

[79coyotefrg]

he'd probably get red tagged if he did, stupid state laws

Joe, you are going to cut all that out with a cutoff wheel arent you??

[79coyotefrg]

nevermind i saw the pics,  lookin good

one thing i would do is drill holes in the bottom of the frame so you can hose it out, i did that to mine
