Agree on the after market pump. I would drive it to LA if it were to make sense mutually. It runs just fine with codes cleared and once cleared they have never come on when driving. If that is something you want to discuss, please PM me. Not sure we are allowed to discuss here.

Ha, yeah thanks - the frustration level is high. I have indeed thought about taking off the parts and replacing - I thought those would add to vehicle value but now get that's not the case (as well as new parts in the engine from what I gather). I do not have the stock parts, but do have some...

They did put in a new part, but it was not a Toyota part. The dealership was in Auburn, CA. It wasn't that the tech couldn't necessarily figure it out, but they would not trust any of the work my outside mechanic did so were going to go through it all again, before even getting to the area...

Thanks, that was what they were working on trying to evaluate. Bummer those mods don't help with sale price.

Secondary air injection system pump stuck off bank 1 Catalyst System efficiency below threshold (bank code 2) I feel like there was one more, but can't find it. Will add if the check engine light is on in the AM.

Posting as I'm trying to figure out what to do with my '05 v8 with 222k miles on it. Over the past 6-8 months I've replaced: -Air injection valve -Air pump -Gear box (not sure what this is called, but someone broke this item to get the car in neutral) -Battery and related cords -Starter...

Talked to my mechanic and sounds like they have 3 ACE on staff. I suppose I'm trying to figure out why the truck quit working after just 6 miles after picking it up from battery/starter repair. Was hoping the other symptoms were meaningful but perhaps it's just falling apart lol (but not lol)...

Thanks Surfer - would it make sense that it drove normal (after I reset the codes) for about 4-5 months after the off-roading incident, but only now the current issues came up in terms of it being the wiring loom as the potential issue?

Oh, and here is one other symptom that I assume is nothing, but when I parked it last night (and the last time I drove it before tonight), I noted what felt like a very cold sensation on my left shin after I turned off the heater. I figured it was just cold air flowing in somehow, but I did...

Hi folks Seeking some help as I'm running out of money and patience keeping my 05 going. It has 222k miles, lifted, etc.. Here are the series of issues I've had with my current issue I'm looking for help on at the bottom. Sorry it's long but it's a long story - I'm hoping the details will...

Regarding spare tire, I have a few questions. ..what is the max size wheel/tire i can have in standard space. And, in what situations is that not going to work (2005, sport v8). Current stuff is 285 x 17 ...what are the downsides to driving with my spare that i currently have that is not...

Hey, quick thanks to those off you who have responded. I was sourcing out some options on getting this fixed and have heard that the 'cool looking' replacement lights that I"m seeing, for instnace on carid.com may not function so well once installed. And that I'd be better off goign with...

lolol :guitar2:

So...I need to replace my headlights in general. How do I change picture #1 into picture #2?

Where do you guys shop for new lights and outside cover? Mine is super scratched up but got crazy price from 'dealership'.....
