Thanks so much, for any help!
Bob :confuse:
About the tranny, I have read (a little) saying that one must "purge" the tranny and all lines. I assume that this removes the need to remove the pan? I have purged transmissions, years ago, like the GM Turbo 350, but it took 2 people, and one could ruin a tranny, if done wrong (I was told). Is this "purging" similar?
Norm....
My Unichip was 787.00 and the AFE cold air intake was 299.00... well worth it.
don't forget, the computer on your tundra is so advanced and well thought up, that it adapts to your driving habits. fill up, and from the minute you start it up till the next fill up drive easy with no jack rabbit starts. avoid depressing the accelerator all the way down,or even 1/2 way down, and try not to speed. you will notice you should get 13+ mpg in city with the air on.
Now fill up and drive more aggressively and make sure you floor it a few times while you blow by someone. you will immediately notice that the engine shifts at a higher RPM. Thats because you are teaching it too. you wont get more than 11-12MPG in the city with the air on. I get 13.5-14.7MPG in the city with the air on, in stop and go traffic. The chip and cold air intake allow me to just tap the gas pedal with my toe, because the engine is so responsive. You think ur Tundra is fast stock--imagine 40+ more hp and almost 50+ more torque. good luck
Anyway, I'll look into the products that you mentioned. Even at nearly $1,100, it would pay out, if I keep the Tundra for a long time (& I plan to).
I guess I'll wait a while on the fluids, for a while longer. Thanks again!
Bob
How can this chip do what they claim? Sounds as good as the $700-$900 ones. What can anyone tell me about these?
Thanks,
Bob
I just replaced my timming belt on my 05 4x4 limmited tundra 4.7L myself. Not hard to do, just time consuming. I followed a chiltons manual and researched online. Bought parts from PartsGeek.com costing around 250.00 if I'm not mistaken. There are a few tricks you need to know which the chiltons manual explains, one for example is when you put the belt back on there are marks on the belt and cam sprockets that not only need to be lined up but a second set of marks labeled T that you need to line up in order to take the slack out of the belt correctly. Another helpfull hint is to have an airgun with at least 480lbs ft torque to get the crank pully bolt off. I had only a 250lbs ft torque air gun and it didn't get it, had to barrow my brothers gun to do the job. When you feel that you have installed the belt correctly, I advise you turn the crank pully with a hand wrench on the pulley bolt two complete turns to see if the timming marks line up agian, if so you should be good. You can destroy your engine if you try to crank it and the belt is not installed properly, so doing this by hand can save you. Hope this helps, good luck.
I have an '08 Tundra 5.7L with air intake cooler and Gibson performance exhaust. The two improvements push my horsepower up to around 400hp, improve torque, and I'm getting 20mpg on the highway. Around town I can get up to 16mpg but tend to give that throaty exhaust a work out which is also lots of fun. Hope it helps.
