A/C Leak
Cool. Thanks for the reply man. I don't want to deal with this dealership, so I will probably do what you suggested. I checked Sparks Toyota's parts website and couldn't find the gaskets. I suppose I will just give them a call. It looks like the lines also have a connection near the...- sntckr

A/C Leak
I didn't check out the A/C after the dealership changing my frame in December. Last week it finally got warm enough to use the A/C and it didn't blow cold air. I could only pull 22 inches of vacuum on the A/C and that dropped to 15 inches within 15 minutes of "sealing" the system. I have R134A...- sntckr

Clutch Replacement Advice
@o0opackersfano0o, thanks for all of the help on this. We settled on $330 for labor (pressure plate, disc, flywheel, rear main seal, throwout) + shop fee to resurface flywheel.- sntckr

Clutch Replacement Advice
BTW, the service manager tried to build a case that the transmission bellhousing was more difficult to separate from the motor with it out of the truck because the motor was "crated." I couldn't follow along to his description. In my mind it seems like the motor would be hoisted. You would...- sntckr

Thank you. Does that account for replacement of rear main seal and throwout bearing? I guess that's about 15 minutes of work. Also, what is book time on resurfacing of the flywheel instead of R&R 15 minutes...probably some set up time, so maybe 30 minutes instead?- sntckr

Thank you, I appreciate the help from you and NHX. Your information will certainly be helpful. I drop the truck off tomorrow morning for the frame replacement, but will certainly re-engage them with your information.- sntckr

Clutch Replacement Advice
I am just trying to get to a point they will concede to. I already spent all of today doing all the other crap they over-quoted me to do around the rest of the truck (cv boots, shock replacements, valve cover, S/C spark plugs, etc. Any real data would be greatly appreciated!!!- sntckr

Clutch Replacement Advice
C'mon, you got to give me more information than that :p. So, the motor and trans will be out for the frame replacement, clear of the front and rear drive shafts and headers. The top bellhousing bolts are easily accessible, so no struggling there. So, are these some fair, conservative times to...- sntckr

Clutch Replacement Advice
Okay. Talked to Gadget and went with the URD Stage 2. Also, bought the throwout bearing sleeve. I am just going to resurface the stock flywheel since it suits me fine. The dealership wants $710 labor to "replace the clutch disc, pressure plate, throwout bearing, and rear main seal and...- sntckr

Thanks man. I appreciate you sharing your experience. I don't like the lag getting into 4th and 5th gear, but I recognize I spend more shifts in the first 3 gears. I don't want a heavier fly based upon what I have heard so far...- sntckr

Clutch Replacement Advice
Fellas, Struggling with what to do with my transmission on my lifted double cab. Clutch has been slipping for a while, but didn't want to put any money into the truck until Toyota confirmed it would replace my frame. It looks like I am finally getting a new frame. I always want the best of...- sntckr

URD Fuel Rail Tap fit on TRD Blower?
Sorry, man. I had fallen behind schedule by the time I started posting things here. I rushed through things once I knew what needed to be done. I really did use a belt sander with 40 grit paper to get this done, so no measurements were made. Just sand, test fit, repeat until it worked. My...- sntckr

Precision machined it with my belt sander and 40 grit and everything fit perfectly. Good move on going to a reduced thickness on the lobe for future production lots.- sntckr
