BUT i'm gonna have a lot of questions over the next couple of weeks....

starting with my first one, i've got a 94 pickup lifted on 33's...

any gas saving tips? other than... smaller tires...

and do u suggest intake, or just k&n air filter?

what kind of oil should i be letting this thing drink???

mt_goat

K&N filters don't filter good enough to suit me.

hosh

mt goat. what filter do you use?

dijlop

well, ur gonna want to make sure ur geared right, and all ive got is the k&n filter, but u can go k&n FIPK or choose another brand for a full intake.

Killer

yeah, the gearing i may get done if i can afford it...

i believe mine is stock.. what do you suggest going to?? it's a daily driver and occasional off rd.. nothing serious.

mt_goat

Just the stock 5VZ filter and air box.

3.0 or 22re?, auto or 5spd?

Killer

22re manual(5spd)

dijlop

goat-with the nice cotton filter? mmm. tasty.

killer-most recomend 4.88 for 33's. wouldnt go much higher than that, possible 4.56, but from all the reviews 4.88 is the way to go.

95RunnerSR5

if its the 3.0, weasey's cams help alot on power and fuel economy..but they run aorund $400 for two

Killer

thanks, but i'm gonna be switching to 31/10.50

so still the same?

Toy-SkiTzo

i would say 4.88s too you might wann try to find a 94 pickup or 4runner with the factory 4.88s (v-6 auto SR5 but still check i dont think the all came with this)

EDIT: if your staying 31 dont change it, 31 was most likly the factory size if it was a sr5

dijlop

oiy. hmm. for 31's id think the stock gearing would probally be fine. im not sure what stock is exactly, but i think it would be fine. ur trucks 4wd yes? or u cool like me and ur throwin down in a 2wd? lol

mt_goat

Well at least when I hold it up to the light I can't see holes in it like my old K&N had. BTW if anyone wants a K&N drop in for a 3.0 airbox I'll sell it cheap lol.

Toy-SkiTzo

only other things i can tell you to save gas is keep it tuned up and use a light foot

dijlop

my truck gets about the same if im drivin like a normal teen, or if my parents borrow it to drive places, or if i have to drive my parents or sisters. which is a difference of wot and half throttle. i may use gas faster, but i get there faster too.

Toy-SkiTzo

with my 3.0 i get 17 if in easy on it and 11 if i just dont care

dijlop

lol. u do know that the reason they have oil on their filters is to catch all the particles that may make it through those holes, right? im pretty sure the whole point of the filter is to have easier air access with stuff to catch the junk.

take ur hand and put it in a huge pile of feathers, now take ur hand, get it wet, and put it in a smaller pile of feathers. which has more feathers on it? thats whats happeninng with the k&n.

edit- i get around 20 regardless

Killer

4wd! woo..!. i didn't realize how much of a diff a couple of inches makes with tires.. dang. guess i'm gonna get on that a lot sooner. i don't care when i'm cruisin around just randomly, but for ga this hwy i'm talking about is pretty flat(well for north ga) and it blows my mind how much it bogs down. but if you all say tires will help.. i'm gonna trust u on it.

mt_goat

Yeah I know about the oil catching the dirt, but in my personal 50,000 mile test too much dirt went through the filter (and yes it was oiled per instructions). To me the whole point of a filter is to filter dirt. If I had a K&N intake on my truck I'd ditch the filter and replace it with an Amsoil replacement. Amsoil makes a new nano fiber filter that has great test results.
