Just an update on the 4wd problem I was having. The tech went to install the solenoid/actuator assembly and had some difficulty getting the old one off according to the service advisor. The tech called Toyota tech line and they informed him that the transfer case has to be pulled apart in order...

Has anyone ever heard of or installed an oil pressure gauge on their 03 & up 4.7L V8? If so, where did you purchase it and where did you install it? I'm willing to mount it into the a-pillar if I need to. If there's one thing that drives me nuts, it's not having an oil pressure gauge. Dummy...
