Thanks for all your help. Yeah ive read a lot on it and i havent found anywhere that mentions there being two ROMS on this particular board. Based on everything ive found so far it could be either one. The thread about the immobilizer ROM was really cool, if i ever lose my key ill be attempting...

I do have soldering skills. I was looking at the boards wondering where the milage was stored. Would you happen to know where the EEPROM chip is on the board? Ive narrowed it down to two chips, one is the IC6 chip (93C56) and the other is the IC3 chip (93C46). Im sure they both store something...

I bypassed the Auto-Off and the lights began working. I got a new gauge cluster circuit board today and everything is back to normal working order. Only difference now is my truck gained 40k miles on the odo... facepalm. Have you heard of anyone being able to repair this circuit board? It...

Hey Charlie, thanks for the reply. So obviously corrosion in the Body ECU isn't a good thing and there was certainly plenty of it... ironically though, there was no signs of corrosion on the actual circuit board within the Body ECU, it was all throughout the "triple layered junction circuits". I...

EDIT SOLVED: Problem was Auto-Off feature located behind instrument cluster. Jumped pin 5 to pin 1 on c27 harness to bypass auto off feature. Recently bought #4 and slowly going through the vehicle getting rid of rust and making things right. 1999 4runner Limited w/o DRL and w/fogs My...

question about LED conversation in CCU?? hey guys i was wondering if the LED conversion in the CCU has any effect on the "dimmability" of the unit? From my understanding, incandescent lightbulbs have a better range when dimming and i was wondering if the LED replacements have any noticeable...

Got it all buttoned up! 4Runner4Leon I can't thank you enough for your initial writeup which gave me a HUGE jumpstart on everything. But really, more than a jumpstart, you basically ran the entire race and i just jumped in on the home stretch, lol. So as you just mentioned, there was a lot of...

4Runner4Leon haha, i do love my cupholders! 2 in the back and 4 in the front with this combo, all easily accessible from the driver seat. To be honest tho, my middle two cupholders normally end up full of little nick-nacks like quarters, monster tabs, and random little bolts and pieces. I figure...

4Runner4Leon You are the man! Its great seeing someone else who pays attention to detail and doesn't stop until its completely custom while still being "stock". Here is my challenge for you... lol I am trying to do the opposite. I want to put my 97 Rear Defrost Switch/bezel in my 99 truck. I...

If im not mistaken, these are shimless buckets you have pictured here, or shim under? The 5vz-fe uses shim over bucket style...

Sorry for the late response but i had decent luck from the bottom side with 3-4 1/2” extensions and a swivel. I just called and spoke to your fuel injector guy and ill be sending my extra set of injectors to him soon. Thank you

i have run my truck out of gas a couple times on long trips in NW united states. ive also coasted into the gas station and put in 18.3 gallons. If i fill up right when the light comes on it takes about 15.5-16 gallons to top off. You might be able to drop your tank and bend the fuel sending...

so im assuming these have high angle boots? has anyone ever had problem with the boots tearing?

Kinda hard to inderstand what you are asking but... I just rebuilt top end. New head gaskets and 3vz cams. While i was in there i heard one of my coil packs arcing through the back of the pack down to the valve cover. Ive been driving the truck for 3-4 years with a slight miss under heavy load...
