Some things never change...

DAY 19: Auto To manual conversion So I have been running on the assumption that the holes for the clutch slave cylinder were on the firewall. I discovered that that was not the case, as the auto and manual trucks have different cabs. Seems crazy that Toyota actually has 4 different types...

Day 18 Getting the engine ready to install I dropped the front sump pan and installed the 3VZ pan. Ive seen others drill out the plug for the mid sump dipstick, but a new union was only like $6 from toyota. I drove the old plug out with a 1/4" extension from my socket set, it was the...

My brother has a Remmington 887 (based of 870). The mossberg is good, but has more wobble in the pump. Performance wise, I dont think it makes a difference, but the remmingtons feel more stable to me. I have no experience with the maverick, but a friend of mine bought a supernova NEW and...

Glad you got it running again! Would love to see some video of this beast in action.

If it stuck closed pressure would spike, but it may still start. If it was stuck open he wouldn't get sufficient pressure and it probably wouldnt start.

Yes the FPR can get stuck. Wouldnt drop the tank just yet, its not going to tell you anything, just waste your time. Get a fuel pressure tester, and test your fuel presure. Report back, and we can go from there.

You should get a 17 inch tire... Just messing with you. Look on the inside of the rim. It should be marked as 17x6.5, 17x7, 17x7.5 exc. The first number is obviously the diamater of the rim. (17 inches in your case) The second number is the width of the rim. We need this number in...

You are correct, the ribbing on this trans is indicative of a W series trans.
