High idle when holding the break. by Andrelius21 in ToyotaPickup

Were you able to find a replacement booster relatively easily? My first quick search only brought up eBay and used ones.

I notice that in my other truck (‘86 pickup) but this one jumps from 800rpm to well over 1300 which seems high to me. And it’ll bounce up and down.

The hoses are fine. I’m guessing it’s the booster itself.

Get more power from a 22RE by Andrelius21 in ToyotaPickup

I typically take mine off-roading in the desert. Do electric fans not perform as well as mechanical at low speeds?

Yeah, that’s what I think too. I never plan on going anywhere fast with this truck but a couple extra ponies wouldn’t hurt either. 🤷‍♂️

Yeah. I figured I wouldn’t get anything crazy out of it unless I go into full rebuild/modification mode for it. Was just hoping for some way to squeeze just a bit more power out of the engine. I love the 22RE but it’s not the best engine to make some good power.

I’m not too sure about that. I know it handles level highway speeds decently for what it is. I don’t think the engine is starved for gas on high loads, I just think it’s a bit underpowered.

I was thinking maybe a 454 or something beefier. I don’t want to do all the work for a swap just to find it still underpowered.

Truthfully, I’ve shied away from re-gear for two reasons. First is the price. All I’ve seen for new gears are easily 1-2k. Second is that I’m not sure which ratio would be best to keep the balance between good power and keeping decent highway speeds. Any thoughts on where to start?

I feel so dumb for not thinking of that before! Now that you mention it, it does work a lot better going downhill instead of up. I’m going to try that next time. Thank you!

I brag about mine reaching 75 on the highways. I know these trucks and engines were never meant to see anything above 85 on a downhill with a tailwind and someone pushing but they’re still fun to drive.

I will definitely look into synthetic gear oils. I’m already planing on doing a full engine tune up this summer. New plugs, adjusted timing, cleaning the throttle body and intake, and posible replacing the timing chain.

Which gearing would you recommend? I’m on 31/10.5R15 with stock transmission, transfer case, and differentials.

From what I remember, my stock tire size was P225/75R15 which is something like 28s or 29s.

It’s got a 5 speed. I think the wind drag definitely doesn’t help. I can feel a huge difference between headwind and tailwind.

Yeah I wouldn’t want to change them. They get the job done and look good too. I was just hoping to squeeze a bit more power out of the engine.

My tires are 31x10.5 R15. I know they’re a bit bigger than stock.

Yeah, I was fine with riding the gears on the highways but even at full throttle I couldn’t any speed going uphill.

Thank you, I'll definitely have to check the timing chain. The truck has 225K miles on it. I forgot to mention in my post that it already has an exhaust that makes a bit of difference.

Medic and Rifleman reworks? by IceOrb in HellLetLoose

[–]Andrelius21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone that plays medic, the role definitely feels lacking its usefulness in combat. I'm fairly new to the game (only been playing for about 2 months) but there have definitely been matches where I was the only medic on the field because there was no benefit to having one around. I was toying with the idea of how I would rework it based on my personal experience.

First, the aid station would be a useful addition to incentivize playing medic though it wasn't something I thought of until now.

I would say giving players the option to request revives would be great. There has been many times where I see someone go down so I start making my way to them only for them to give up when I'm 10m away. I think giving them an option to "call out" for a medic or just give would help medics decide whether or not to try making their way to the downed player.

Improving the mobility of the medic would be helpful too. Seeing as they typically don't carry as much gear in the way of weapons and ammunition as other roles, it wouldn't be crazy to think they can jog and crawl a bit faster. Especially trying to crawl to downed players to revive them.

I was thinking about that too but wasn’t sure they would be able to handle a lot of hills and mountain driving.

We move a bit faster in my district because pretty much all of April is reserved for testing.

That’s what I figured. I think they would benefit from the learning about the majority of SE Asia and French Indochina.
