Re: Ty Pics... finally yeah, im not nuts about the rims myself, would love a set of stock wheels...

This one and the one in my sig are the only 2 I have ... lost 2nd cam with the rest. These were taken while I was in Japan... I posted em in the Northeast forum, so I hope people dont mind the repost :D We all like showing off our rides, right?

This and the one in my sig are the only two Ive managed to find so far... cant find my other digital cam. These are still from when I had it in Japan, new tires on it now, same rims though. If anyone's up in Maine and sees this truck... its me! :D

Re: Good SyTy shop in/near Portland, Maine? The only one in Maine... that's a good and bad thing, I like being original, but dont like being 'stranded' as the only one with one of these trucks ;) The NASTE meet in Jersey is just a bit too far this weekend unfortunately. Would love to talk...

Re: Good SyTy shop in/near Portland, Maine? Ah yeah, guess I forgot to update my profile... Yes Im near Portland Maine, Yarmouth specifically. Profile fixed...

Re: Good SyTy shop in/near Portland, Maine? Noone? Has to be SOMETHING near me :) If not a shop, there anyone who knows how to tune within 5 states and willing to spend a saturday tinkering (Ill buy the beer)

Hey everyone... Just curious if anyone knows a good shop, or even a board member for that matter, to take my Ty to to have it looked over... nothing's particularly wrong with it per se as far as I can tell... then again thats not saying much, but I just want someone who knows these trucks...

Forgive my lack of automotive knowledge about these trucks ;) Does a lack of hard shift from 1st to 2nd mean a tranny is going to go out soon? Mine still shifts hard from 1st to 2nd, and it has 42k miles on it... just wondering what the indications would be and generally how long transmissions...

Re: what did u guy pay for your trucks? $7000 for #2186 in April '04 with 39000 miles - bone stock save the air filter and custom wheels. About 2400 into it for tires/tuneup/various fixes. Not a single solitary regret and reading some of the other prices, I feel pretty fortunate :D

Re: Ty from Japan to St. Louis to Maine Quite possible =) It sure does love these American highways... was sooo kooked up on the 2-lane, 35 mph Japanese "highways" :P

Re: Ty from Japan to St. Louis to Maine Sorry it took a few days to respond... Im at NAS Brunswick.

Hey all, just saying hey to everyone here in the NE forum. I recently got my Ty back stateside from Japan... imported to St Louis, then drove it to Maine where im stationed. Look forward to catching up and chatting with everyone! Brian

Im not sure... I was driving (the Japanese arent big on soft shoulders or Id have pulled over). Were I to check it after I got to where I was going (using the paper clip) would it tell me then? The check engine light came on only for a matter of 5-7 seconds.

Hey all -- So yesterday, Im driving down one of the Japanese highways, and its a rare straigtaway up here in northern Japan. So what the hell, I gun it. I JUST bought my Ty like 3 months ago, and Im in Japan, so I havent modded it yet, all stock. Anyway, the stock boost gauge hits +15, and...

Hey all -- I noticed a drop in accelleration in my Ty today, and was wondering what signs you look for that let you know difinitavely that your turbo is going bad? Mine still spools up, but it doesnt have the zip id did. I am also noticing an odd sound, almost like a grinding sound, but I not...
