I picked up an Actron Autoscanner Plus from sears for figuring out my 96 taco issues. Has worked so far for figuring out codes and tells you what the code is for. Think it was on sale for 125
Burned out one PSC pump and I think the second one might have issues. At first the guy told me not run a cooler in the system as it causes too much restriction. After I put the second pump in I hooked the heat sink style cooler up since I already had it. The fluid runs hotter than hell even...
With a hydro-assist system would a thinner cooler do the trick? I have been running a moroso straight through aluminum one and have been getting overheating problems. In the middle of redoing my steering setup now and am trying to figure out how big of one I need to try and cram in there. One...
X2 on the street use with those joints. Something was causing my driveline/shafts to spin even with the hubs out and in 2wd and the joints are toast now. Make sure and keep em greased up even though they are a pain in the ass to get to take grease
Optimas are junk
Orbitals are junk
You'll be better off with a lead acid than those two. I put a Odyssey PC1700 in my truck and had a starting issue this weekend in the snow. Had a sensor go dead and the truck flooded out. After 20-30 minutes of diagnosing and trying to continually start the...
It's really hard to tell until you can eliminate some things from the equation. Drive train issues are hard to diagnose sometimes when you're just feeling them in the cab since it's all connected. I would put my money on the tires or the driveline
I would check the tires too. I get vibes in my truck too around 30 and then 50 and it comes from the wheels/tires. Running 37 pibulls with airsoft BB's but it doesnt seem to balance them worth ****
I remember when some of the Wattora guys did Chris's 4runner for him while he was in Iraq. I believe that they used 4" springs front and rear and it was a tippy SOB to drive although it was a newer gen so a bit heavier up top. If you are going to run a 35 I would stick with 4" max and maybe try...
For a rig with limited road miles I'd go with a TSL/SX, Irok or Pitbull Rocker. All are bias and will be a tough tire offroad and can be had in the sizes you're looking for
How long is the cord? That plays a part in it too. If I remember right the block heaters that I have seen only have a 15A plug on them. If it was 20A one prong would be turned sideways. I wouldn't think that heater should be pulling that many amps though
If the cord is UL listed and you're...
I've dealt with both companies on more than one occasion. TG's customer service is top notch for sure...their parts are not however. What I've bought from Marlin has all been very quality stuff but for the most part their customer service sucks ass. That was a couple years ago however so maybe...
