    Doug Thorley headers...successful install stories.

    Hey man, welcome to the forum. So, unfortunately, I did start seeing some CEL for P420 and P430 with my setup. It will happen almost exclusively after the truck has been running for a while, I turn the truck off for a a short duration, then get back in and immediately run it pretty hard...

    4th Gen Armor Thread 2.0

    That's the one. Bought it used from a guy who had his 4th gen totaled but pulled it off before it went to the crusher.

    Rear axle seal ungency?

    As long as you keep the diff fluid in it, and it's not ruining your brakes, I'd let it ride until it warms up.

    What After Market Brake Rotors are people using here?

    Do a couple of rounds of a brake bed-in procedure: Bedding In Brake Rotors What happens most of the time is there winds up being an uneven transfer of brake pad material to the rotors after a really hard stop when you sit still for a little while (think interstate coming to a complete stop or...

    What After Market Brake Rotors are people using here?

    Scotty got this one right, but he's wrong on soooo many other things. DO NOT rely on him for anything auto-related. Sure, watch him for the entertainment value, but take everything he says with a massive grain of salt.

    Yes or No to applying dielectric grease to coils?

    Get a brake controller for your trailer.

    I didn't need to remove any panels on mine to install the controller. I installed the RedArc controller. Took more time to install the control knob (I didn't use the button insert) in the trim of the dash trim around the radio than the controller itself. Highly recommend the Red Arc controller...

    4.7 V8 High output Alternator Upgrade

    Get the Gates FleetRunner belts. I had an AC Delco belt and it squeaked horribly right out of the box. The Gates Fleetrunner hasn't made a squeak in 3K miles.

    2003 4Runner V8 Ltd Exhaust manifold recommendations

    Jesus. $6k is insane level prices. Short term fix, get the manifold welded to plug the existing cracks. Order the LT's, order the DT y-pipe. Do the headers and y-pipe in the driveway, take it to a muffler shop and have them put the cats in place of the resonators on the y-pipe and add a o2...
