I couldn't agree more, I think they have the answer it's just a matter of when. It makes me chuckle when some members bash other "better" brands, and I use better because on paper the Tundra is a better truck. It's almost like they are intimidated.......

The more competition the better! Hopefully Nissan steps it up so the "Big 3" have to bring their best to the table. ( it's not the big 3 anymore )

And who benefits? Me! Now all I need is 40-50k to purchase one!

 

True that JMC and SMIGGS, I'm still lookin for an 03 F150 to mess around with, I'm saving my pennies.
I'll prolly have to get a second mortgage for the new 150 when it comes out, so atleast I'll be able to write some of it off lol. The kids getting the 98.
My minds been made up there , sooo, whistel whistel whistling waiting it out..lol

 

I figure I will keep my Expy around for my boys. By that time it will be a cake walk to work on it compared to the motors they will have out in 2021!

So hopefully gas doesn't hit 8 bucks a gallon by then!

 

LOL - Damn!! who know's by then..

But I hope my 98 is still in one piece, Trying to keep it in the family - I just about turned every bolt on thing lol - never dove into the block yet tho - hope I don't ever have to unless it's for good reasons

 

no sir.

aftermarket cheapies off e-bay which fogged up on one side and i cant get teh **** biter apart to clean it.

check em out on ebay bud. look for projector + led. look at the 1pc designs. they have a real neat titanium coated one.

 

Yeah I'll look at the ones you suggested - I liked the way yours looked in the daylight..I want to get good ones if I can find them..

 

they look real neat at night. i have a pic somewhere, ill dig it up. lol

 

huh?..

at what point did anyone here discribe how the shift feels on my 6 speed?

how it shifts depends on how i drive it..
if im easy (easy being never letting the engine get above 2,000 rpms)
she shifts smoother then the 150.
if im gettin on it ( getter up to 2500 or more rpms.) the shifts become real firm..

Toyo new wtf they we're doing when they made the drive train..

5.7L + 6 speed + 4.30 L/S rear end + 10.25'' ring gear = high 14 quarter miles and 0-60 in the low 6's and still able to get 20 mpg highway ...

 

i hate tacoma's

every commercial having to do with the new tundra is true..

can the same be said for the 150?

wtf was that commercial again? the one where they had a Screw FX4 pulling a Semi off the ground...

 

Do go nutso ube , I wasn't talking about you - I was talking about the commercial when I heard the toyota shifting..I said It was nice having a new truck and I hope it lasts you ..

 

HI!... It's still FUGLY!!!!!!!!!!

 

thats ok you can have your 6spd... mine wont break with my 5.4 pushin around 450hp... well, theoretically pushin 450

 

me too..

but getting a 7 year 100,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty eased my mind about being the test dummy.

oh well, i already caught a screw with a tire and now i gotsta gets it fixed..

i'll get pics of the underside of the truck while the spare's out from underneath it next chance i get.

 

Klitch hows that tranny hittin now ? Did yuh getter fixed? Neal might be around if yuh didn't get that Transgo to fly yet..

 

hittin like i knew what the hell i was doin! 2nd gear scratch with a 4.6 and 35" tires at WOT. it hits firm and fast. basically, GREAT! i think it will handle the built 5.4L just fine.

i did not line the main valve up with the shift linkage... der whoops... but now it shifts progressively. fast but soft enough at low rpms, increasingly firmer with more rpms. at 4k it lunges... 5k it scratches the rubbers
