I just got my first P2443 code the other day, left work late it was about 8F when I started up the T4R and got the CEL. Read the P2443 code the next day. I saw the other thread from a few days ago and a few other different threads and other info. My T4R is a 2014 with about 175k miles. Our...

I'm in the process of getting my parts/fluids lined up for a engine coolant change on my 2014 T4R with about 170k miles. First change was just the fluid. I was going to change out the thermostat and upper/lower hoses on this change as I did with one of our Camry's a couple years ago. Also need...

In the fall of 2021, the steering in my 2014 T4R stiffened up, not real bad, but you could definitely feel the extra effort needed. From comments on the forum, seemed like the lower u-joint on steering column. I sprayed the u-joint a few times with Aero-Kroil and the steering loosened up...

Thanks for the info. I like those wireless units, but $250+, probably come down over time. I've got the tow package, pretty sure it was standard. Found the connector up under dash last night. I think I'm going to go with the Primus and mount it to the left side of the steering wheel. Seems like...

I need to add a brake controller for my 2014 T4R. I was initially planning on a P2 or P3 and then saw the Redarc units and shifted to the Tow-Pro Liberty. While I was looking for a controller, I saw a few different lower priced Teknosha proportional controllers - Primus IQ, Voyager, and...

Thanks for the info; pulled the wheel off yesterday and found that they are both 10 mm. Also found the stuck piston looks to be no longer seized - both pistons on the inside were tight up against the pad. Probably drove around a week locally. Pedal felt different and braking was better so seemed...

Anyone know what size metric flare nut wrenches are needed for removing the brake line from the caliper and the bleeder? I've only got SAE flare nuts from years ago. Also, is the bleed procedure on the front brakes just typical manual bleed or anything special? I haven't had to replace a...

Thanks for the replies - Raybestos calipers are $95 on Rock Auto and show new on both Rock Auto and Raybestos sites. So it looks like local remans at about $80, new Raybestos at $95 or $140 for OEM. Probably go with Raybestos. A little surprised to need the calipers - I haven't had to replace a...

Planned on replacing front rotors and pads this past weekend on my 2014 T4R (130k miles). Everything going well until I found seized caliper piston on the inside (lower) side. Put the C-clamp on it but didn't move with moderate pressure. Couldn't get the spacing to put both new pads on so I put...

Have 2014 SR5 with about 125k miles. I'm located in upstate NY and last oil change showed the front skid plate with rust to the point of needing replacement. I tried to keep up with the rust for a few years, but 8 years of winter driving has taken its toll. Basic options for replacement seem...

Jeremy, that was it. I hit the lower joint good with Aero Kroil yesterday. Took the truck out this morning and could tell right away it was loosened up. Felt about 80-90% of normal when I left and 100% or almost 100% when I got back. Looks as though it wasn't too bad if 1 night sitting with Aero...

Thanks for that, I should have checked the PS pump but didn't. Should be easy enough to take the tension off the belt and see if it spins freely. I'll try that in the morning.

Trying to figure out the cause of the hard steering in my 14 T4R SR5 with about 125K miles. Seemed to come on slowly as the fall progressed and temps dropped. I thought maybe back in October the steering was a little harder than normal, but it was so slight I didn't think much of it. I am in...

Looking to see what others are using for torque wrench brands. I have been using older Craftsman beam style 3/8 and 1/2. Decided it is time to move up to some more modern technology. Given my tool chest is full of 1970s and 80s Craftsman tools, first thought was just pick up a Craftsman click...

My 2014 has had the neutral safety switch/range sensor problem on and off since last summer. I was going to tackle it this spring and with COVID-19 and more at home time. decided to jump into it this week. I read all of the relevant threads - a lot of good info. I thought I would post a new...
