cool, but im 45min from the border. so unless you wanna drive a while ill have to stick to your videos..I have herd all types of mufflers and still to this day think flowmasters sound the best.. in fact, when I get the 80 series on ill post a clip..

yotaman85

and yes, I also think you have the best sounding 3vze that has posted on this site.

91_TOYOTA_4x4

oyah off topic but my gramps bought a place in Arizona and i might be going down there with my yota this summer lol gonna see if i can come by cali if im already going down there haha

heh thanks dude. question is... is the sound worth the price I paid? I mostly did it for the life of the head gasket... I can almost guarantee that it wont blow... especially the way I drive my truck.

91_TOYOTA_4x4

oyah the stock manifolds/ crossover is the biggest problem with the 3.0L lol hey maybe you will be the first guy to break some high milage with a 3vze lmfao

MaK92-4RnR

lol never know... Im driving mine until it blows. and im only at 144k. i need to give it a tune up. maybe i'll fill my credit card full of tune up junk lol give me something to make payments to

91_TOYOTA_4x4

hahaha do it up dude, i just did cap and rotor and now im just trying to get the power lag to go away then see how long my truck will last haha. your 3.0L should last you past 200k if u take care of her

Moved to the beginning of the thread.

91_TOYOTA_4x4

looks like you got it all lol

you should extend your diff breathers. iv heard this is an easy and really good thing to do lol

MaK92-4RnR

^^^ thanks, I forgot about that. I have the clear tubing and the fittings for it already... ( pulled them off a 3vz block ) but its definitely something I need to do... gonna relocate the rear to the tail light, and the front to the top of the engine bay.

Anything else? I've already had brakes serviced... so those dont need to be touched.

I might do a diff drop when I put my front diff on with the BJ spacers... I want those CV joints healthy so I dont have to replace them for awhile.

91_TOYOTA_4x4

haha alright dope uhhh lemme think?

im not sure what else to do lol maybe get a greese gun and get all the u joints on you driveshafts and and same with balljoints, actually maybe check your ball joints and maybe see if they are worn out and i think you said a while back that you wanted a new idler arm? all i can think of rightnow haha

MaK92-4RnR

I could grease all the U joints and such... ball joints are good ( remember, only 144k miles ) Dark_fairytales has like 300k+ on his ball joints and they're fine. mine are not warn or torn at all. the tie rods look fine... I did include the idler arm and alignment, but I do need a brace.... I dont need a grease gun, I'll just bust out a rubber glove and grease them up.

I also just remembered, I need a third member gasket and some sealant.

91_TOYOTA_4x4

lol ight ight lol but grease guns are dope and are cheap too so... lol oyah u reminded me my pinion seal is leaking waaaaaahhh

BackGateYota92

ya man for sure get the diff drop. lol ive been through 2 cvs already and if you do get cvs get the life time warranty ones from advance auto

space-junk

iTrader: (1)

that would be Autozone around these parts, blackgate...

and mike, just an FYI, there is no 3rd member gasket... its called using sillicone... i used blue RTV when i did the 4.88s in the runner...

if you need help, let me know... seeing as tho ive done it before...

oh yea, have fun with the fronts... they are a major PITA... took me 3 hours just to pull the front...

MaK92-4RnR

the front what? differential or CV joints?

91_TOYOTA_4x4

i think he is talking about the front 3rd? and yeah that would be a pain to get too but its possible so meh dont worry haha

MaK92-4RnR

Dark_fairytales did his fairy easy... i shoudn't have a problem

yotaman85

fairy easy? did you do that on purpose?

MaK92-4RnR

nope, surprisingly
