IR gun very useful for ujoints, radiator, A.C., diff, transmission. I typically carry one in every vehicle.

Okay, what am I looking for in the rear? And also to mention again, she can do it when she's cold.

It is a 2000 4x4 SR5, sorry I should have mentioned that.

For me, sometimes when the ABS had been triggered one of the front calipers would lock up. And it would not release seemingly until it felt like it. I was able to manage the issue for a year or so. When I upgraded my front calipers to the 231's it repeated the issue immediately and it was not manageable. I cycled the power to the ABS pump and it released. I then removed the ABS fuseable link and have ran without ABS ever since. Not sure what year you have and I know the 01-02's have the big fancy master cylinder/ABS accumulator setup. My guess is it is an ABS pump issue.

I've wondered about trying her without ABS but...that also sounds dangerous as shit. Is there a way to recalibrate the ABS? I know on 2nd gen taco's you have to calibrate or reset something otherwise it will brake crazy like after doing an alignment or changing the tires.
