also .. got a driving vid finally windows wide open , very hot weekend , so it's kind of noisy !! Sterio works AWESOME

kind of "raced" a Tundra from the lights up the Couquhalla . its about a 7% grade up for a few miles .. my truck on 35's ..and the tundra with stock tires .. I'm real happy , had him up to 120K and I backed off ..

so calculated my fuel economy this evening .. from this last trip , I avereged 24 MPG .. I know the tires throw the speedo off ,and all that stuff .. so I guess I will have to calculate it from a " map" milage .. to get a more accurate # ..



.

 

Yeah if you're really getting 24 then I need to go find an SC for my 4runner NOW for a 7mpg boost! haha

 

dont forget the weight i'm pushin' as well .. trekker really isnt that heavy .. I still have to get it weighed , but I know it's less then a 4Runner



.

 

yep .. good plan .. never even thought of that !!



.

 

Just for us US folk...120KM equals about 75 miles per hour.

That is pretty good up a hill in 5th gear. I wish my 22re could do that.

I wish you guys were closer, I would have a lot of work for you

so I have decided not to put the URD pully on just yet .. but I did want to change the oil in the nose , so a little "how to" or how I did mine .

locating the oil plug is the first thing .. on the second gen (black supercharger) is is located on the front right of the nose just behind and below the hose bracket



I started by removing the bracket to allow more room



and proceeded to remove the plug



There are a few different ways to do this , I chose to use my brake line bleader



worked great , old oil removed





I removed 80ml of oil , so this is what I replaced
I used a IV style to do so



but it all back together , and tightened up the tensioner .. and DONE


.

 

Man.... I have read all 60 pages over the last few nights and just wanted to commend you for giving us all the detailed pictures and tips. Beautiful truck, and awesome job..... all I can think about is working on my '80 when I get back home from offshore after reading this!

 

thanks .. glad you enjoyed , and also very happy to inspire .

another car show this past weekend .. in Winfield BC . No vid , no pics .. but truck did run awesome again


.
