Actually it has unseasonably cool, should never be under 90, has been down to mid-40s in the am.

But that is not why I came in.

Remember that 900.00 warranty? It expires 4/8 so After the dyno which was sort of near the AutoNation Toyota dealer I took it there (200 deductible @AN, 400 elsewhere) they diagnosed 2 things I was blissfully unaware of. Cam seal on one bank is seeping & upper & lower control arm bushings need to be replaced, 3400 @ dealer theft prices. WOOT!

 

Forgot to post the CARB sticker, cause I'm OEM.

lol

 

what a relief

 

faux CARB documentation is very important especially outside Ca.

lol

 

I'm carb certified too though.
Literally my favorite food is pizza.

 

Pizza, pasta, all the carbs (that are bad for me) I love.

lol

 

We got the same freakin certifications!!!!

 

Carbivore
Only carb I've got to worry about is the Weber on the Midget.

 

FPR is in, slow start gone, it seems better (haven't driven yet) Working until 3, then a drive & log.





The rev in the video is at about 1:04. Sorry it sucks, phone refused to stay put.

Got some really cool hose wrenches!

 

It feels great but is still lean, fuel pressure isn't dropping though.
For reference, here is where the pressure is set (Xact (tuner) said do 50psi)


Stays 99% there on revs.

I ordered this so I can get the gauge visible while driving.

damn, you're gonna let the 1% slide?

 

Dropped the Tree off to get the warranty work done, first time it isn't sleeping at home, they grow up so fast.

They gave me a '23 Tacoma.

 

That color (or maybe it's the lighting) makes me think mint chocolate chip ice cream.




I hate mint chocolate chip ice cream.

 

It's called Lunar rock. (look at the key)

 

I thought that was describing the anemic engine under the hood

 

Lol

It is stupendously buzzy. I immediately put it in 4HI to make it even slower.

Lol

Saw one of these on the way to drop off the tree. The emblem on the grille is gigantic.

I found a hose plier like that and it is awesome...
I also finally ordered a hose clamp plier...bout time

 

Apparently, Air tags are worthless unless an Apple device, that is online is nearby.

I have an Air tag in the Tree, It has not updated since 12:43 last night so I looked for ways to refresh it.

How do I make the Apple AirTag update its location more often?

You don’t. It helps to understand that AirTags don’t know their location or update their location. Your AirTag periodically sends a unique signal identifying itself. Nearby Apple devices (e.g. an iPhone) receive this signal, roughly guess the direction and distance to the AirTag (without notifying the owner of the iPhone). This device then informs Apple of the location of the AirTag, which updates its location in your iCloud account. You cannot configure the frequency of pings.

The location is updated both when the device has moved and it has contacted an Apple device that has internet access and location services enabled. if the AirTag is in a remote area it may not come in contact with another device for some time. If it is far from a location with internet access then the device will log the contact and location then update only when it has internet access.


Luckily my remote start has cellular tracking.

 

I don't like airtags for that reason.

 

I didn't know.

Silly to say the least.

 

This day last year it was 100, normally it is not under 90 ever by now, it's 48 right now. (not complaining, LOVE IT!)







The cupholders in the Tacoma are a joke, I had to break out my cupholder expander..

 

Thank goodness it ain't manual...I feel you though, I carry a 24 oz contigo like my Linus security blanket...gets in the way.

 

That's a 36oz Yeti. I'm joined at the hip with it. The Sequoia has 2 center console cup holders it fits.

 

We were having an unseasonably warm winter/spring, just barely hit 90 earlier this week.
Currently 58 with the storms rolling through.

 

I'm glad to know you're hydrated!

 

Dealer sent a pic of the open head, looks new!

 

I drink at least 1.5 of that Yeti a day! I also piss alot.

lol

 

pics and temp of pee please?

 

Picked up the Tree, all well, no new sounds & the parts minus the pump are here, pump says tomorrow.

 

Pump is out, I'll rewire & reinstall tomorrow.

 

Rebuilt the pump basket with Gates submersible hose.

 

Nice Pump.
Is it made by Reebok?

Why do you call it Tree?

 

Walbro, Sequoia.

The paperwork Toyota gave me is near impossible to read, here is what they have on the owner portal. When u/l control arms are replaced does a new alignment need to be done?

If they did it would it be notated?

Typically any time they touch any part of the suspension, an alignment should be done.

 

That is what I felt. I'll ask them if they did it or get my 3rd lifetime from Firestone.

Also:

NSFW warning:





FUCK WALBRO!
Put it together, not fully sewn up because I have bene burned before. NADA, not even thinking about thinking about running. Thought maybe I swapped the lines, tried to swap them NO! the hardlines are different sizes (learned after wrestling them the fuck off)

Thought maybe I had the hoses in the basket swapped, NO! Gave it electricity, the Walbro isn't pushing shit, nada NOTHING.

Wired up the Deatchwerks, tried to start, tried to start, STARTED! RUNS & over 100 fucking PSI (Aerootive maxed out to get to 58ish with the Shitbro.

DIE Walbro, DIE!









Also, thans for the Tacoma instructions, they made me feel smart because I bought that transmission jack they are using all on my own.

This was when I was verifying blue is power & soldering the relay to it.

 

I've never really been impressed with Walbros. I went through 3 or 4 in the CL, and that wasn't even a boosted application.

How does it pull now?

 

It was amazing. For 20 minutes, apparently because the FPR was maxed it was at 105 for a few seconds and seems to have blown the 100lb hose so the tank is coming down again.

Pressure dropped to 20 after I filled the tank and pulled out of the station. Every other time I had it close to empty, this is going to be fun!

 

Dropped the tank this morning, hose @ the pump pulled off when I opened the basket, I erred on the side of not too tight & lost.

It's back to having pressure but needs to be buttoned up, I hope for the last time.

 

It's like the news, good news, bad news, rinse repeat.

Butond up, lost fuel sender GAAAAAAA. I know I connected it but apparently not tightly. Not pulling the tank again today, it is full, I'll fill it in 200 miles if I don't drop it again before.

Went to Napa for the golden hose, the truck is amazing!

It’s over 60lbs fuel pressure at all times, goes up in boost, went down to 8.7 (that I saw) afr & peak boost 9.4 It's not bogging, feels amazing and apparently I never really felt it the way it should be.

0 & the fuel gauge decided to come back to life.
