You are forgiven

On anoher note, we need to talk more thouroughly about this "Supercharged Toyota Wiki" because we could refer newbies to it! I'm sure we could have a very convincing section on "Do I really need the fuel and transmission upgrades?"

Well, removing the S/C or doing the proper upgrades will make sure that continues to be the case BTW, you can probably sell that supercharger for about $1300...

No kidding, but between you and I we'd babble so much Corey will need to add a new drive!

I keep telling myself that I'll at least start saving copies of my posts like this, but I don't. I SHOULD just start now huh?

Well, they do - you'll find MANY MANY people here with over 150K on their rigs, with more folks than you'd think above 200k.

You've probably touched in the ONE part of the truck that has issues. Seriously, outside of the birfield joints in the front end of the older trucks, the 3.4L SC is about the whackiest point in Toyota's truck career.

It's a black mark on TRD, but the good news is that it was identified a few years ago and there are folks in the world that can tell you (harp on you) about why it's a good idea to do something about it.

Well, I think I'm going to look into a few options and see where that gets me. Maybe an article in Wikipedia, maybe several new pages on my website, etc... Then if it turns out nicely, it may end up getting "adopted" by Yotatech.

I like babbling, espacially about my vehicles

Don't forget about the 3VZ-E head gaskets.
