  1. What's weird, is that on my last truck, I had a happy face drawn on the hub on the right rear rotor. I bought the truck brand new and it was on there when I bought it. The truck that I had before it, I found a casio wristwatch behind the rear seat and behind the carpet. It took me about three months to find it. The alarm would go off for a few seconds at 3:10 PM and I would get closer and closer to finding it each time the alarm went off until I finally found it.

     

    I'm sure alot of other people have similar stories too.

  2. those slants don't know how to build a truck. :crackup: they cant even put in a decent cam.

     

    "Toyota said it has determined that a flaw in the casting of a still-undetermined number of Tundra camshafts - made for Toyota's Alabama engine plant by an outside supplier - prompted the engine failures."

     

    Doesn't sound like the "slants" are the problem when the engine plant is in Alabama.

  3. People have done it, but I think the problem they run into are the center caps. They are plastic and will not take the heat from powdercoating and if they are left chrome or silver on a black powdercoated rim, they look like :puke: !

     

    I guess mine are the ones that look like :puke: because these are pictures of wheels and I had mine done when I first got my truck in 2003.

  4. no sh*t!

     

    Here are a few more pictures, including a before picture of the car. My friend flew from Georgia to Oregon to get the 30K mile car. The car was perfect in every way with a few subtle mods (after het got ahold of it). If you look closely at each of the pictures you will see that the intake got craked and how the seat got bent/broke.

  5. I was a passenger in this car. My friend lost control and we spin out and hit a tree backwards (among other things) going 90 mph. We hit so hard that my seat bent over backwards and I got thrown out of the rear window into the road, even though I was wearing my seatbelt. If that wasn't bad enough, while I was sliding on my back, the car was bouncing off of other trees and came back into the road and nearly ran me over. I am very lucky to be alive.

  6. I ran 87 in my truck for about 2 years until I put a whipple on it, now all I run is 93 octane. It would spark knock with the 87 octane under hard acceleration or with a load. Under normal driving conditions, the computer would pull enough timing and it never really pinged. I would fill it up with 93 octane if I knew I was going to the track or if I was planning on pulling a trailer. I can tell you one thing, the difference between the two fuels is huge. I ran my buddy's completely bone stock SS with 93 octane against my truck with 87 octane, a CAI, Cat-Back, E-Fans, Throttle Body Spacer and Coolant By-Pass and his truck was a full truck length faster. I may have saved $300 a year by running 87 octane, but the performance loss is not worth it.

  8. Your n/a runs were not too far off to what a lot of trucks run. I have seen huge variances among stock trucks. Your 150 shot wasn't adding anywhere near 150 hp when you ran your truck. Your mph went down. Was the truck bogging and miss firing at the time? You need to have your ignition system in tip top condition when running n2o because you run the risk of having a nitrous fire/explosion if a cylinder loads up because of a weak spark. Not to mention, melted piston(s).

  9. yea, i remember you and alot of others i see are still here. I bought a 07 crew cab with a 4.8, 3;42 and thought it would be more efficient and i would forget about the power. Well my SS got better fuel mileage and the power was bad with the 3;42 s. So after 5K miles I traded it in and didn t get killed too bad. Fri I get the new v max and got to get the pcm tune ASAP. I loved the new intieiors and the crew cab is great for me with the short box. The ride is nice too.

     

    Did you see the truck that I posted? 2007 V Max I'm selling this truck.
