Il have to try that for sure. When I tired to do it it made it but you could really it the engine straining and that's not good. You think the 4x4lo would help make it easier?

 

Agreed

 

I still defiantly need I do what you said with my homework assignment , I really need to bring my engine to life.

 

Yes, low range will help significantly and you already have it! It will reduce the stress on the drivetrain because it more than doubles your gearing. And using 4Lo in 2 wheel drive is will work fine as long as there is good traction for the rear tires.

 

Best thing you can do is read read read and research and then read some more. Know what you can do and know what you would have to pay someone to do. Know what the good and bad of each thing performed on the truck and what else should be done. I did the mods to my truck in small steps. That way it is not tuning nightmare to make it run. Use the search feature a lot!!!!

 

I'm kinda new to yota tech, so what's the place place to look search for stuff on here?

 

The main toolbar has a search feature. Type what you want in it. Its on the right

 

Also, check out the Newbie tech section. It's in the forums folder, in the Toyota SUV & Truck Tech folder

 

We don't have smog laws here, what more can I do to my truck?

 

there is a thread called everything you need to know about the 3vz engine or something like that that you will find if you use the search feature.

 

Actually search w/ google over search bar. It's better. Use "site:yotatech.com search terms", no quotes, to search there.

As far as tuning your engine and mods. My advice is to check that everything is working as it should, all sensors reading, etc, before you start to mess with/add non-original parts like the AFM swap to it.

 

I think this is the thread you were thinking of.

RSR, that is a cool tip about how to use google to search a specific forum site. Thanks.

 

thank you so much good man, that defiantly helped me out iv been having the hardest time getting outta places but thanks to your tip it's no problem! Thanks again!

 

Glad I could help! I back up a lot with a trailer for work (I do landscaping and excavating) and that has helped me a lot.

 

Well my radiator broke today, iv read it isn't that hard to replace around 130 for a new radiator an I'm thinking I should get new hose any tips or tricks you know?

 

sorry to hear that. its not a bad idea to replace the hoses. good luck

 

Make sure, when your done replacing the radiator and you refill the coolant, to jack up the front and run the engine to operating temp. This will help get any air out of the cooling system.

 

yes sir I got that on the list, an I heard there making them plastic now.. Are they just pos now? Cause I'm pretty sure mines metal at the moment

 

What does the ect power button and the button on the gear shift do? I try'd to google it but I guess I don't know how to ask it because I don't know what it is

 

Might be an overdrive button? Is it an automatic? Just guessing.
