had the same codes . . . Denso Fuel Injector Replacement Set for 3.4L V6 4Runner Tacoma and Tundra - HP831 (Naturally Aspirated 5VZ-FE only) | MotorWest Performance these are flow matched and guaranteed injectors. solved all the injector problems. but same code... replaced wires, plugs, and...

No AC 1 ST! please forgive me for dredging this up. 2 my 99 t4r has this exact same predicament> AC working perfectly but the panel switch was broken. it is a manual run AC. 3 I bought a replacement switch from dealer and it installed it 4 the green light switches off and on but the...

You can do it. I did it recently. the two front camshaft seals and the oil pump seal on the main shaft behind the pulleys are also good things to replace. their cost is trivial, and you're gonna have all the stuff out. I made a pulley puller and a camshaft tool for taking the cam pulleys off...

Thanks for the info. I used the 65s to keep the speedo on my side, and to hopefully get the same mpg as the 70s on 16 inch rims. The speedometer reads a couple miles over the gps, which favors me. The tire guy said the 70s could be a couple percent favoring the highway patrol. :) won't...

does yesterday count? I finished the wheel swap on the 99 runner to accommodate tundra front brakes. found some tundra 17 inch wheels and put duratrac 265 65 17s on them to replace the 265 70 16s. I wanted to keep the same tire diameter and keep the no-contact lock to lock steering. The...

Hey. I hope you are still around. You've had lots of time to sort this out. But, in case someone else searches the same thing I did, I will comment on item #1. That is how that kind of sensor works. it looks like saw tooth pattern on a scanner. if it's fairly evenly distributed up and down...

Hi. I guess i didn't say that very well. I was referring to the specific RESULTS that i obtained from the mods. I have never found any temperature info resulting from the setup I used. Certainly not 5600 miles of it. It's not about you sir, at least not on purpose. I did watch your timing...

OK I KNOW THIS THREAD DIED BUT THIS NEEDS TO BE SAID . . . my 99 sr5 v6 federal emissions is coding P0172 from time to time, bank 1 running rich. this can be very deceptive because there is no bank 2 O2 sensor. it could be that bank 1 IS rich. it could also be that bank 2 is rich also...

I did this on my 99 this spring and drove it from PNW to Texas Hill Country in July and August this year. Before the parts swap the trans temp would surge above 200° in town driving. On the shakedown cruise the trans temps stay 30 to 20° below the coolant temperature, as measured by a...

what is SASing . i'm interested in the vernacular. is there a dictionary of wheeling-talk? thanks, Michael

got 2 gear boxes drained. the front diff is being difficult. plus, it doesn't look like any of the ones in the videos showing how to do it. the fill is not nearly directly above the drain, it's sorta around the corner, and accessed from the front of the truck. could just be the old normal. ...

that's a good idea. thanks. how does it fasten? Michael

Rear diff breather self explanatory i suppose. no drama. used a clear plastic hose, but will switch to an air hose later on down the road. what did you do to yours ? Michael

now That's reliability. and easy to work on. and more torque. and simple to diagnose... etc.

I'm not getting a CEL for any of this. I am thinking it's the A/F Ratio that's getting messed with. There are two sensors on the throttle body that I am going to check out today. Then I am going to test the wiring to the injectors. Wiring might be the issue because the truck had rat poop in...
