This works. Simple solution to a super annoying problem.

I have an ‘03 limited with a bad servo on the driver’s side. If I have the truck in ACC and then the temp up and down, I can hear the passenger servo operating and see actually see it opening and closing under the dash, while the driver does nothing. Haven’t actually fixed it yet, but I did...

I'll chime in... I have an '03 V8 LTD that's just turned over 240K miles. Currently on jack stands in my garage as the master cylinder went out on me, so that's the big job right now. While I had the break lines off the master cylinder, I went ahead and pulled the brakes off all four corners and...

So... got ahead of myself and went down and fooled with the truck for a few minutes: (1) turn ignition to ACC (2) loud, continuous alarm + all traction, ABS lights comes on immediately (3) tap the ABS motor (?) a few times with pliers, motor comes on (loud, kinda buzzy sounding) and runs for...

Hey all, reviving because this is the best brake/abs thread I've found that deals with my issue... 2003 V8 Limited, during normal driving a few months ago I got the christmas lights + loud continuous alarm, drove it home, the next day it was normal. A few days later the truck did the same thing...

Sounds similar... oddly, my AC works great on both sides, it's only when the heat is on that I encounter problems.

I've found a few older threads dealing with similar issues, but nothing exactly like what I'm dealing with. When I bought my '03 last February, I noticed that (with the heat turned up) I was getting cold air out of the driver's side vents, but hot air out of the passenger side vents. Now that...

I had the same issue, haven't had the chance/haven't wanted to spend the money on new window rubber right now. I just removed the plugs completely and now whatever water gets in the tailgate just drains right out the bottom, which is good enough for me. I don't mind taking the plastic panel off...

Look up "zero point calibration" on here, I had that issue after I mounted my scan gauge in my '03. Fixing it took five minutes to splice some wires together to do the zero point with, and like two minutes to actually do the calibration. If I remember correctly I just looked it up on youtube...

Alright, got a question for all the 2UZ V8 owners out there! First, background information: I recently acquired a 2003 V8 Limited that a buddy helped me semi-rebuild for a good price, 329K on truck, (supposedly) 156K on a new-to-that-truck motor. The original motor had been killed by a failed...

FYI to anyone with the P0420 and P0430 codes, this seems to have worked for me. I stacked two of the Dorman #42009 parts on each of the downstream O2 sensors. Cleared the code with my Scangauge II. So far so good, no pending codes read.

On the same note, what kind of radiator pressure are y’all seeing on the 2UZ motor? As far as “squeezing” the hose when motor is hot goes, my upper and lower radiator hoses are pliable but feel like they’re holding more pressure than I’m accustomed to, and more than my buddies V6 Tacoma that I...

Update: Monday I replaced the radiator, both upper and lower hoses, thermostat and pressure cap. Seems to have solved the problem, I'm at about 60 miles driven since with no issues whatsoever. I believe the problem, as the post above this mentioned, was the "inlet" part of the radiator where...

Just rebuilt a blown 2003 with a friend of mine. Truck has 330K, “new” motor installed at a local shop is 156K. Truck is a 2003 Limited 4WD V8, really the only place the body shows it’s age is the leather, and I just had to replace the radiator as it was ruined when the old motor overheated.

Since I revived this thing yesterday, here's my situation... My truck literally had a "new" (156K) motor installed last week, because I blew the motor a month ago. When the motor blew up, the same hose was popped off but it overheated really bad on the highway and then the truck died before I...
