I guess I threw the drivability issue out there as well just in case you had the same problem last week and you have some good advice as where to start. Toss in a head wind, and, well. As a full-size truck, the 2014 Toyota Tundra is not one of the best vehicles on the market for fuel economy. When I don't f around, I try my best to soft accelerate and shift around 2-2500 when going for the speed desired. Oh yeah ran some lucas cleaner through it no help. You can try running it with one plug out.
However, if the engine has more than 50,000 miles on it it probably does then it needs to be rebuilt. Since then I have been getting terrible gas mileage. Primary Use: Commuting to work Great Compact Pickup Truck! They both achieve 35+ Hwy Max ive recorded was 38 on a 500m trip. My problem is that the truck is getting about 13-14mpg. Do all the standard tune stuff first, including plugs cap and wires. It needs to be rebuilt from the inside out, boared out, new pistons, spark plugs, the works. That usually requires that you disconnect the engine mounts and lift the engine a few inches.
It gets an unimpressive 17 miles per gallon in the city, and it does not come in a diesel fueled model to help ease the amount of fuel that is used. The truck has a two inch suspension lift and 33s on it and also has the exhaust cut after the cat. Some previous owner took very good care of it. Lc makes a nice adj. If you have acces to a compressor and inpact tools that will be all you need, but if you don't the only other way that I know of is to use a old fan belt, put it on the pully and make a tight loop, clamp … the loop with a pair of vice grips to keep it tight.

The other is that the stock bench seat is in horrible condition making driving it even more uncomfortable, and I have been unable to find a replacement. I would suggest any toyota truck to anyone at any time. It's a banjo bolt on the side facing the engine. Gas mileage still between 17 to 20. It is almost 40 years old, so it understandably has a few rattles, a little rust, some cracked glass, and is a supremely ugly color of bright orange; and I couldn't be happier with it. While the Tundra does offer extras in its higher end models, the most common ones are simple, easy to use trucks that will appeal to the masses. Stop-n-Go traffic seems to k … ill mileage because of weight but highway mileage seems okay.
After healing up I did an oil change to some lighter weight oil for winter and also changed my tranny gear oil to 75W90 Redline. Then make a thread, Lit! New timing belt repaired wires at coil and still. It has about 1,500 miles on it. And yes, these numbers compensate for the increased diameter. Plus, that power is there for passing and the like.

Also, when I got my 83 pu, the ignition timing was way off, so check it and ma … ke sure it's correct. These tasks include: hauling cord-wood, pulling a thirty-foot flatbed trailer loaded with several tons of hay bales, transporting pick-up beds full of gravel, pulling a surface conditioner around hay fields, transporting fencing material and equipment across decidedly hostile terrain, and many other tasks that push the vehicle to its limits.
There maybe a small panel in the leftside fender well that has 3 or 4 10mm bolts that will allow easier access. I just put a new engine in my 91 Toyota and decided to paint everything being it was all apart. I bought it several years ago as an old junker I could use around the farm and not have to worry about dings, scratches and so forth.

The interiors are made of rugged materials, but still manage to stand out in a classic way. The cab area is small, so it will not be very comfortable for a larger person.
If the vehicle history can be believed, the odometer has been rolled over four times on the original engine, which means it has well over 400,000 miles on it. No big deal I figured little water where it shouldnt be. The truck is not equipped with power steering, which can make it tricky to get in or out of tight parking spots or backing up a trailer. I need to get in there soon to check it out because I think one of the exhaust valves may be damaged. I am also going to ask another great mechaninc if I have time.

While it may not be able to stop on a dime like some smaller model trucks and cars, it is one of the best at coming to a complete stop after a period of long and high acceleration. I hope this helps you. It gets an unimpressive 17 miles per gallon in the city, and it does not come in a diesel fueled model to help ease the amount of fuel that is used.
