    HELP! Huge Mystery backfires and cuts out on acceleration after warming up.

    I say fuel pump or ignition coils. When you say you're getting 45psi where in the chain is that? At the fuel rail or the pump? I have seen weak ignition coils and weak fuel pumps create similar symptoms with no CEL. If you're getting the spec'd fuel pressure at the fuel rail then I am thinking...

    Body mount bushings - OEM rubber or Polyurethane?

    I went with poly body mount bushings myself. A buddy of mine bought and never used them so he sold them at a discount and I think they are worth it. My 4runner is stock with the exception of the tires (265/75/16) and when driving down washboard roads the truck rode the same. I noticed more of...

    Anyone have a part number for good aftermarket Cat

    I have had good experiences with Walker catalytic converters. All bolt on type. RockAuto might carry them. If a weld in type converter is needed I would go with what the muffler shop recommends based on what they sell and what warranty they offer. I love Magnaflow products but I don't know if I...

    Tundra Brake Upgrade

    If I had to guess nothing changed after the dealer service department bled the brakes. Softer pedal and more pedal travel is the cost of the TBU install. Its interesting that after some people even swapped master cylinder's nothing changed. I'd keep the brakes OEM, I don't think TBU provides...

    Paint Code for Finish Panel / License Plate Bezel

    I know this is an old thread but I agree on the paint code for the license plate bezel. Dark Grey Metallic paint code 156, used on the fender flares of 96-98 limited's. I think most license plate bezel's are so faded it is hard to tell. But if you find a new bezel for the 99-2002 it looks...

    Slow Seat Rebuild - Any Advice?

    Those ebay seat foams from US Auto Seat Cover look to be good quality. The OEM foams from the dealer are becoming increasingly hard to source and no one on Ebay has the front seat foam for the back support. However, if you are looking for true quality leather replacement seat covers look into...

    ABS Codes After Wheel Bearing Replacement

    Not sure if this helps but in my understanding the ABS light comes on when one or more of the wheel speed sensors have malfunctioned, brake fluid is too low, fuse is blown or the relay is bad, or if the ABS module has developed a defect. I'd check the fuses and relays first (cheap). Then replace...

    Rear Coil Advice - 2002 SR5 Sport 4WD

    Camburg offers an Eibach 1 inch lift rear coil (CAM-320026) with a 10% increase in load capacity over stock. Not sure what the load rating is for a stock rear spring though.

    The Big 3 just turned into The Big 7

    Sorry for the late reply...The main ground wire on a DC system is the return path between the alternator and battery negative. Because of this it needs to be as "big" or "bigger" than the power wire. For example, the current flows like water and if you have a 3/4" pipe feeding water down into...

    The Big 3 just turned into The Big 7

    For those of you who like to tinker and are looking for more consistent voltage but don't want to do the big three upgrade right away, or buy a bigger alternator, try this. If all of your main battery connection points are clean of corrosion try running a bigger main ground wire from the battery...

    The Big 3 just turned into The Big 7

    Wire gauge only needs to meet the demand of the amperage output by the alternator. So, 4 gauge is sufficient enough for a 150 amp alternator. If I remember correctly 1/0 is good for up to 250 amps. Also, the amperage output by the alternator is not the amperage output at engine idle speed, it is...

    Octanejunkie's T4R project - 99 SR5 4WD 5-speed

    The black Poly bushings from Energy Suspension have graphite in them which helps with noise. If torqued down properly they shouldn't make any noise since they are stationary (except for the rear mounts). A lithium grease at the top and bottom of the bushings should do the trick. After install...
