    Totaled SC Truck, extra parts and a possible steal of a deal for someone.

    Since my inbox is seems to be filling with parts requests, I guess I should restate that I no longer own/have the truck. I let the insurance company have it. What I have listed in the OP is all I have left. If anyone is feeling frisky, here's the link to the pending auction. If you buy it, I...

    Mk3 Install No Start. Help!

    Yep, stock ones do just fine. Denso 673-1308 on Amazon - around $60 each. I have my old set (which still worked) for sale in another thread if you want some cheap spares to swap in. My truck got totaled so I don't need them anymore. $60+shipping for all. PM me if you want them.

    It depends on your specific circumstance and your coverage. If your insurance has to pay, then your premium goes up. You may also not get as much back because of coverage limits. The 21yo kid who hit me's policy was lapsed by 2 days on the day of the accident. I initially went through my...

    Mk3 Install No Start. Help!

    They certainly can. Might not be as noticeable on a stock motor but add some cylinder pressure and... I replaced mine as preventative maintenance when I put on my MK3.

    Totaled SC Truck, extra parts and a possible steal of a deal for someone.

    I put a deposit down on a 2011 6.2L Silverado today. I fly out to pick it up and drive it home Monday. I need a little larger truck, and starting with 403hp doesn't hurt. All 2nd gen Tacomas as far as I know. I bought the camera to adapt to an aftermarket deck. My understanding is you just...

    Totaled SC Truck, extra parts and a possible steal of a deal for someone.

    I had every receipt for anything I'd ever purchased for the truck, except for two. The truck was valuated twice by a 3rd party valuation company - once for my insurance, and once for the other guy's. His policy had lapsed for 2 days when he hit me, but ultimately they decided to cover him...

    Mk3 Install No Start. Help!

    +1. How old are your coil packs? You could have weak spark. Is your MAF or TB dirty?

    Hey guys, My truck got hit hard in the rear on 11/28. Right in front of my house. Guy was going 50 and I was stopped waiting to turn left into my driveway. Needless to say, it's a total loss. The truck is at IAAI near the Portland airport. The title sign off is nearly done and so the truck...

    I'll see what I can do. The external note seems to be very similar.

    Resonators or: How I Learned to Stop Rasping and Love the Spec-U.

    Title reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dr._Strangelove If you have Spec-U longtubes and the (currently discontinued) Spec-U exhaust. There is a reasonably good chance you know what this thread is about. That hissing/buzzing/resonating/rasping/whatever sound that happens just above...

    URD Spec-U Exhaust

    The resonators made a massive improvement. Cab noise at 2000-2500 RPM while under load is reduced and the hiss/rasp/resonance/whatevermarketingfriendlytermyouwanttocallit is gone. This thing actually sounds like an $1100 exhaust now. If you want to add these, you will need the updated...

    URD Spec-U Exhaust

    I thought I had a boost leak as well. I even made a thread about it on here awhile back. I tore my truck apart looking for it until I realized it was the exhaust.

    URD Spec-U Exhaust

    I ordered a pair or resonators, Vibrant P/N 1790 (2.25"x12"). They'll be here Monday. I'll burn em in Monday afternoon if work lets out early.
