All used but in good condition. The Thule bars are 65", one mounts over the doors the other in the factory rack rails. The Husky liner is in good condition, no tears. some scrapes. The security curtain is also in good condition, factory tan. Pick up only, price firm.

Thanks Durk & All others, Don't have access to a live scanner, will just replace fronts sensor. Since it was already out shouldn't be more than 10 Minutes. Will try filling reservoir first though and report back. thanks, Rob

OK, I went back and got the following, Code P0125 Insufficient Coolant Temp Sensor for Closed Loop Fuel Control I also called GUNK and they said their throttle body cleaner is safe for O2 sensors. thanks, Rob

OK, not doubting you but the last time I had it checked the code told me it was the downstream sensor so I replaced it with a Denso. Why would it now say it's the coolant sensor if it's still an O2 sensor? I read here that sensors can be cleaned with Throttle body cleaner so I bought a can of...

I'll try to get the exact code but I saw the diagnostic screen and it said Coolant Temp Sensor. I was testing the truck after replacing the downstream sensor which was bad and while I was at it I cleaned the upstream with throttle cleaner spray.

My 97 SR5 V6 has the CHECK ENGINE light on. After I reset the ECU by disconnecting the battery and then restarting the light was off for about 5 minutes and came back on. My local station plugged their diagnostic into it and he tells me the Coolant Temp Sensor is bad or the level is low. It...

Turns out Permatex 80022 is not O2 sensor safe, only the high temp copper is.

Did some snooping and as it turns out some sealer will give off a gas that can ruin a downstream sensor. This is what probably ruined the downstream sensor to begin with as I found sealant instead of a gasket when I mistakenly removed the upstream sensor. Although Permatex says their RTV #...

Rest of the exhaust is fine, will use gaskets, just want to know why hi temp sealant is a bad idea...

OK, but what's the problem with a high temp sealant? I want to use it because there's' only enough of the studs left to locate the flange. If I use the gasket under it the sensor will not be on the studs. Honestly, going for the quick fix here to get it inspected.

OK, gotta back up for a minute, while just looking for the parts online I realize I took out the one ahead of the CC, didn't even see the one after it which is the downstream one. That one just came out real easy as the studs were rusted to the nuts and there were no threads left. There was...

The "check engine" light has been on for some time, my inspection station put the the diagnostic tester on it and tells me the down stream O2 sensor is bad. This is the sensor that's just ahead of the catalytic converter, mounted on a diamond shaped flange that's held onto the hole by 2 nuts on...

What baffles me is that it got me at least 500 yds. before slipping completely...

Yep, I was already debating how deep I was going to go into this. Thanks again.

F*** ME, you're a genius! I guess it had been so long since I drove the thing I didn't realize it wasn't fully in gear. Just went outside and put it in gear and it's seems fine. I'm an ass, I'm an ass, I'm an ass.... thanks so much.
