I would not do that. I have broken over 20 front aftermarket CV's in my 4th gen, I've tried every chinese brand and every parts store, they all break on the first rock when wheeling. I have a feeling the only good option is OEM and the chinese made versions are all the same, just in different...

Your profile says "Folsom" - is that Folsom, CA? If this is the case, you won't be able to use spacers or any other inexpensive emissions fooling tricks on the internet as the smog anything will fail anything which does not pass visual and does not have the monitors set on the ECU. Your...

I have had this same thing happen to my engine. Forget about "diagnosing" it, it is junk and needs to be repaired. All engines, regardless of manufacturer, suffer some amount of unrecoverable damage after overheating. In the case of the 2UZ-FE, the heads are the first thing to warp. The...

This is the exact fix, replacing 2 solenoids fixes the problem. I just had it done- more details here: https://atracom.blob.core.windows.net/gears/2010/2010-12/2010_12_30.pdf

Have you seen this: https://atracom.blob.core.windows.net/gears/2010/2010-12/2010_12_30.pdf This problem is pretty common in the A750F and it is simple to fix at any transmission shop.

Hi. Unfortunately, my life has become too busy for me to sit at a lathe and manufacture individual parts. I am working on a solution that will work in all cases and on all cars that will cost nearly nothing and also pass visual smog in CA.

I haven't logged in to this site in a while. What I find is possibly the best and cheapest solution for the P0420 and P0430 codes is to take one of these: Robot or human? Put it into a lathe to make the hex part a circle, Drill out the exhaust factory Bung, slip this thing inside the exhaust...

I no longer manufacture the mini-cat. Too many people were using it inappropriately and I no longer wish to get complaints about how it doesn't work with blown engines, bad exhaust installs, etc. The original function was for passing smog in CA where there is no other possible solution to get...

Say Hello to my Lil Friend These are the best solution. Getting generic "spacers" may or may not work at all and may or may not fit at all.

URD crossover pipe.

I would never buy a truck with that much rust. The brake shield looks like it is about gone and frame appears to be rusting out from the inside and nearly ready to break apart.

The easiest and best solution is to get aftermarket full skid plates and completely remove the rear cat y-pipe and replace it with one of these: URD Off Road Y Pipe for 2005-2009 4Runner V8 - Underdog Racing Development Then, buy 2 mini-cats from me and put them on your o2 sensors for no...

I didn't see anything regarding the transmission fluid. Have you changed it ever? I know that the manual states "lifetime" transmission fluid, but the word "lifetime" is defined as 7 years in California.

This is probably the name of the chinese company who makes the parts. If you name your fake chinese company: "Genuine Toyota Parts Company" and print that on the box, who is to argue? It seems that if Toyota USA caught the seller with the toyota logo in the ad they would probably be sued...

No. Its not from Ca or Az...If a used vehicle is not from one of those two states, literally every single part of the entire truck is completely rusted and destroyed.
