Just programmed two key fobs for my son's 2005 T4R SR5. Worked like a charm. Now I can work on getting the Viper alarm out of it and I can ditch the Viper remotes it came with. Those are crap.

Nice diagram. My son's threw two codes: P0441 and P0455. I'm getting him to pick up a gas cap first. If we still get the codes, we'll start down this path. That diagram helps get our brains wrapped around the system. Thanks.

Finished yesterday but started a week ago. - Replaced the two bulbs behind the LCD display. - New radiator, water pump, thermostat, coolant hoses, tensioner, 3 idler pulleys, belt, coolant.

Pic at the end of Day 1.

Day 3 Was intending to spend only an hour outside after work and it ended up being closer to two hours. - Re-installed A/C compressor. Four bolts and a small bolt on the passenger side frame cross member for a refrigerant line bracket. Not too bad. - Re-installed the alternator. Holy crap...

Well, my son and I dove into his 2005 T4R and refurbing his cooling system. With over 108k and no hose / belt change, we decided to jump into the system. In addition to the belt and hoses, we decided to do the water pump, radiator, idler pulley, tensioner, and thermostat. I didn't think it...

There is no way I'm putting an additive thru a vacuum port into the engine. No offense but only poorly tuned engines have any carbon build up on top of a piston. Computer controlled FI engines that aren't throwing codes just won't run that poorly. I've torn down plenty of engines both with...

^^ poster above...I would have put a flat washer under the bolt head. Its just good practice. We pulled the aftermarket skids off my son's rig this weekend to do a transmission fluid change. One bolt got snapped off on the front skid. A portion of the bolt is showing so I'm going to get a...

Done. I confirm that the instructions work to the letter.

Code ended 12/31/15. New code please. I'd like to order some parts.

Shackles also help guarantee a smooth surface for the eye of the strap to pull against. Sharp edges will kill a strap and lead to a break.

Recovering would be when a vehicle is stuck and its more than a little tug to move them from their spot. Towing is dragging a rolling vehicle from point A to B. Little effort other than countering gravity and rolling resistance. Recovering involves a lot more energy than towing. An elastic...

I'd do a rebuild or replace the caliper. Yes the seal is leaking, and no it shouldn't be. It should be dry under all circumstances.

The previous owner replaced calipers and then I ended up replacing them again once I had one seize after a hard stop causing the 4R to pull to the right. It came from MD so I don't know if location plays a role.

Interested. Which model did this come off of? I'm looking for a rim to mount a spare tire for my son's 2005 T4R.
