Yea she's been building up to a grande finale for a while. I new i had a couple thousand miles to go before I needed a new one cause I could just feel it. Then I had to tow a 1200 lb trailer for like two days and the trans quit. My advice would be to go ahead and swap it out before you end up...

Sounds like a fun weekend project. I have no doubt theres going to be lots of metal. I checked the trans oil when it broke down and it smelled very burned.

Yup that's exactly what's happened. My transmission bout fell outta the bottom of the car so that makes a lotta sense. Thank you

I'm open to other suggestions but I'm about 90% sure on this one. Sounded like a trans, felt like a trans issue. It does go into neutral as I was able to push it so maybe not... If you have any other ideas I'd love to look into them because they cannot be more expensive than a new transmission lol.

Last year my 02 threw the same code. Replaced the gas cap and cleared the code. Hasn't come back since

Hey fellas, Yesterday I was driving my 4runner (270K miles 2wd) on a 55 mph highway and noticed my tranny was starting to fail about 10 minutes away from home. Every time I let off the gas the rear axle would thud. I knew I didn't have long but I couldn't make it home before i came to a...

Great advice thank you. Answered all of the questions i didn't think to ask

I'm goin with the denso's haha. Bein a dads tough but one day soon i'll be in your shoes. Thanks for the car help and life advice. Might learn more on this forum than i did in college

Sounds like a good place to start. Thank ya

No white smoke and the fluids look good. I was worried about a burned up head gasket but its not showing any symptoms. Would a warped head cause the shakey startups without the fluids mixing? Ive got a bunch of free time this week to tear it down and do some research so I'll probably take care...

Is it possible that a faulty O2 sensor is causing the engine to choke and shake like it does? That was my first thought but I hadnt considered that my engine turned into an overcooked roadhouse ribeye which is a valid concern. Thanks for your help so far.

Cant imagine working that hard with a family. I always wonder how fellas do it but I guess they just do. Thats a solid recommendation. I gotta check all my cylinder heads and see how ole tonk is doin after that stunt was pulled. Ive been looking for a new truck but i just cant justify getting...

Thats what I was looking for. And also hoping to never hear haha. I gotta take a looksie this weekend and see if my heads are okay. Bright side is that oil looks good and same with the coolant.

For reference tonk has 268K miles Starting mid february old Tonk started showing a new check engine light. This was discouraging because I hadnt made it 6 months without the dash looking like a christmas tree. I ran the code (p1135) and went to work figuring it was just the heater for the A/F...

Badass rig. Great work
