Pierce seems reasonable in their prices, and I got the carb from them, so I think they would have a simple filter for that carb.
That truck barely goes 5k a year now, I don't need to spend that kind of money on it. I just need it to run reliably with no fuss.
I would rather get a 6 disc changer. Haha.
Hehe, fair enough. As I said, had no idea on yer budget and it IS a nice setup for a Weber.
Well Sears did not have what I needed...but a former co-worker/Toyota tech hooked me up like a wrecker truck.
He loaned me his Skewdriver and that is truly the tool I must have. Turning the handle turns the screwdriver bit. Here is what it is.

There is no way in hell you can turn that idle mixture screw on a DGEV w/o that tool. Ain't gonna happen. So I am going to order one.
Kind of glad Sears did not have a spring steel/flexible shaft screwdriver, or I would have never stopped at my old workplace to borrow a tool, and therefore not found out about this genius of a tool.
Anywho, I made some adjustments to get it driveable. In a word, the truck now feels "energized"...there is a marked difference from the DGEC...the DGEV is just a 10X better carb overall. It's obvious now that that cheaper version was just inferior in many ways. Thing is, it was not "cheap"...it was 280.00 back in 2007.
I have learned a lot about Weber carbs in the last week- the quality and prices are all over the map. Whichever carb maker was licensed to produce mine did a bang up job. It really is a quality carb- hats off to Pierce Manifolds for delivering fine quality at a competitive price. I have not called them for an air cleaner yet, but I am going to ask them who makes their Weber carbs for them. Redline maybe?
