You crack me up Tony.

The MAF calibrator has to be soldered in. The wires you have to connect to are kinda hard to get to. Read through the instructions a few times. Find a buddy that knows how to do some wiring.

Tony, come down to Houston and I can help you out. I'm pretty sure Flux would be willing to help another fellow Texan out as well. You really need to install the MAF calibrator to get the biggest gain from your URD CAI. I assume that when you ordered the calibrator you specified a load to go with the intake. That should get you pretty close to an efficient setting. Did you get the wrinkle black piping or polished aluminum?

How do you like the 5100 shocks?

well we read the chart thing that came with it... soldered everything according to what it said... and when i turned on the truck.. it wouldnt start.. so we went over it a couple of times and couldnt really figure out what was wrong. so we just took it off.

Tony, bring the MAF calibrator down with you to the next H-town meet. I'll have that thing wired up in 30-45 minutes. You'll really notice a big difference over 3k rpm once you have both the calibrator and the CAI installed.

You need to read this!
A BIG weekend for my Taco, but...

Good Luck!

Either way. I think it might be better to remove the spacers.

As for running it for a week? Depends on how much you are going to drive the truck. Check out the damage that was done to the other persons CV joints in a week.

Tony - I believe this is the thread Toku is referring to:

http://toyotanation.com/forum/t208243.html

Scan through looking for the pics of what happened to his CV boots and/or joints. This happened after mere DAYS.

I would not move that vehicle until your front is corrected... unless you have a LOT of money to through into replacement parts.
