In the same boat with my own 01, but when I clear mine it doesn't come back for weeks. I am grateful to not see the light all the time, but it makes diagnosis hard! Suspect no 1 for me is the fuel filler neck as it is very rusty and I suspect that there is the slightest pinhole somewhere.

Definitely fixable, but whether it is worth it will be a question that depends on the rest of the truck. How is the frame in general? Seeing this bracket and the third member, there may be too much rust all around to justify fixing this. In other words, you may be able to have a welder replace...

Popping over from the 3rd gen side of the forum. I have a different problem than you, but the booster/ABS assemblies are very similar and I have documented the disassembly if you want to swap your ABS solenoids and pressure switches yourself. Check out post #14 in this thread for the process of...

Not sure where in Maine you are, but if you're in Southern Maine, there's a guy in NH just over the border from the Acton/Newfield area parting out many 3rd gens. He likely has one if you want to grab it locally rather than shipping.

220* sounds high to me, but I have been wondering the same recently! Where I live we never break 90*, but breaking 80* has definitely been more common this summer than in previous years. Most of the summer our highs are mid-high 70s and I expect my motor to hit 190-195* per my Ultraguage. I...

Still available? Any photos, especially of the undercarriage? Thanks!

Likes like nice progress so far, the wirebrushing and cleaning is a tedious process but at least you still have all your metal in place! I wonder for the rocker skin if you would be better off welding in new squarestock instead of making a perfectly contoured shape. It would look different but...

Last I knew, the Koyo and Denso radiators were both around $100 and seem to be the most commonly used options on this site. I know that both have some quality control complaints so maybe somebody else will chime in with their opinion. I personally ordered a Denso online and swapped it in my...

Are you running a winch without a fairlead? Have you needed to use it yet? Seems like either the bumper or line would get chewed up pretty good...

If those are simply power and ground to the battery, disconnect from your battery, pull them inside the cabin, put the grommet back in place and cut it to expand the slit where the factory wires enter. Then feed the wire properly through the grommet (will be a tight fit but not bad with the...

Is it a mechanic that you trust? P0300 marks a misfire which could be caused by many many small things. If you haven't had any drivability issues and never experienced the symptoms he is describing, it's hard not to be skeptical... Just seems weird that you could drive it to the shop with the...

I'm not wrenching4torts but just wanted to give my two cents. I am also on the east coast like you with lots of snow, ice, potholes, roots, mud, etc. I have the Falken Wildpeak AT3Ws in 265/75r16 on my 4Runner, my family also has them in various sizes on a first gen Tundra and a Land Rover...

I like the look of that grey-blue color but the light grey got my vote because of the current color of your truck. Not sure if it would bother you, but personally the color difference on the door jams and everything would drive me crazy. Just a thought.

I think if you like the truck then just commit and keep it. The areas you have listed do not compromise the safety of the car so I think it is worth it. This is a car that owes you nothing and you enjoy so why not keep it around even if it's just a project. I had similar rust on my drivers side...

Not quite sure what's up with the attack on such a well-respected vendor. I think that the responsiveness on this thread and the numerous R&D posts/explanations really exemplify the value which EIMKeith has added to this platform. Staying true to the OP's question, JerkyDrewster just posted in...
