20k+ miles later, mine haven’t completely seated but they stay in place and don’t make noise so....they’re fine with me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I had the SAME rpm flare you are describing. My 2003 v8 has about 110k miles on it at the time. I dropped it off at a recommended trans shop. They claimed the fluid was full of debris and rebuilt it. After the rebuild the flare persisted. They rebuilt it two more times, once with a different...

Discovered that my rear Napa Eclipse calipers are hanging up due to nonretracting pistons... one only has 12k miles on it and the other 40k miles. Once my one man bleeder kit comes in I’ll take them off and swap them for a replacement set from Napa with their warranty on them. I just hope my...

I wanted to update that the rear Napa Eclipse reman units have began to seize at the pistons. They aren’t retracting easily and are dragging causing the one pad to wear and the rotors to heat up. I’ll be returning them this week for replacements through the warranty included with them. The one...

I have had a huge ordeal over the last year with my 2004 4Runner trans. Can anyone recommend a shop for transmission diagnostic work around Fredericksburg, VA? Anywhere between there and Richmond would work. I’ve used Superior Transmission in Fredericksburg but two rebuilds later and the same...

I tried for a refund but their warranty on the work excludes any issues due to vehicle electronics. Considering they rebuilt it a couple times, or at least that’s what they told me, I do suspect it’s an electronic issue. I said the same thing to the shop but they annoyingly responded saying...

I’m sure they reused the trans harness. I’ve inspected all the connectors and used cleaners on them and I see no corrosion. I wish they would have replaced the harness but their warranty on the trans and labor specifically Excluded electrically related problems with the work and it seemed they...

I’ve noticed something different and I wanted to see if anyone could help me diagnose this at all... The trans has a year of driving on it and continues to have the shifting problem but thankfully it isn’t every day nor at all speeds. It also hasn’t gotten at all worse from almost a year ago...

I pulled out the console and checked the connections for the shifter. No corrosion there but I did liberally clean everything with an electronics connector cleaner. After the trans warmed up the same spike in Rpms occurred when the trans goes into fifth under partial throttle. That said, I...

I was wondering this same thing tonight when I pulled the console apart. Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Looks great with the changes you’ve added! How’s the difference in ride from the Moog Fj to the OME springs in the front? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hopefully tomorrow I’ll get to pulling the center console apart to check that connector. I’m still curious to see if anyone else has had similar issues. Or if anyone has had shifting issues similar to mine caused by another external component I could troubleshoot. Sent from my iPhone using...

I agree. Great function-oriented build. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Great looking truck! Did the idle smooth out with the addition of the ground cable? I noticed my v8 idle isn’t as smooth as it was. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I didn’t check the terminal on the shifter wiring inside the car. I’ll do that. I was looking for the harness plugs on the trans for corrosion but I didn’t see any there. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
