    P2445 error code and sudden loss of power

    Any ideas what would cause this mid drive if I already installed slyfox kit a couple years ago?

    Why a 4th gen?

    V8. I was also considering new and couldn't justify TRD Pro pricing to myself, probably would have been a different story if they offered a V8 in the PRO. Also, full time 4wd. Also, and I know this is weird, but auto climate control. The currented Limited trim has that too...but I don't like...

    Gibson catback exhaust for 4th gen! Labor day special starting now! Video attached

    PSA for this: I wasn't sure if the OEM springs that go over the bolts attaching the forwardmost Gibson pipe to the OEM midpipe should be retained, also wasn't sure about the gasket that goes between the two. Turns out they should be retained, according to an email response I received from Gibson...

    On Saturday, my Gibson showed up on my porch. Installed it Sunday and absolutely love it so far. Before/after sound: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_bPSlZN8l0&feature=youtu.be Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk

    What is your favorite windshield solar shade?

    Not cheap, but I just got one from Covercraft and I'm very impressed with the quality and fit. They said it would take about a month and a half because they're making medical supplies, but they actually shipped it in about 3 weeks. Overall 10/10, would recommend.

    What did your windshield end up costing you and where did you have it done? Mine is pitted and kinda driving me nuts.

    CV axles

    I'm glad you got everything together! Did you stick the seals in the freezer or no? Wondering whether that's necessary/helpful.

    I talked with him about 2 weeks ago to confirm that it'll fit on my Limited. Didn't ask for an update on shipping though :/ I ordered on May 6th. I assume Covid is to blame.

    How to install new CV Axles

    Meh, if it worked for you then it worked! More than one way to skin a cat, or so I hear... Before starting this (and I feel like I typed this before...maybe not on this thread though), I'd recommend taking the sway bar end link off (just one of the ends is all you need). This allows you to...

    How to install new CV Axles

    As far as getting the axle out, it doesn't sound like it should have been necessary to bend the shields and pry it out. One thing I did that may have helped was rotate the shaft, give a couple whacks on the notch, then rotate to the next notch and do that again. I figured that if the c clip...

    It's Coming

    Also I'm sure we'll know what the 6th gen will offer well before it's actually available, so you could buy a new 5th gen in those few months. Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk

    No issues so far! I'm on mobile right now so I can't see where you are, but I'm local to them and placed the order one afternoon, they started building them that day and I picked them up the next day. So far, 10/10, would recommend Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk
