This doesn't work - cutting power antenna mast I'm working on putting in a whip antenna - necessitated by a snorkel install. I came across this thread when searching for antenna options to replace the power antenna. Important note: The method of cutting the mast on the power antenna and adding...

It’s an M6x1 grease fitting. You can usually find the little packs of assorted metric grease fittings at your local auto parts for for just a few bucks.

Very nice Toyota 4Runner Limited 4x4 with rear e-locker. Runs and drives perfect. Mild lift with new tires. Interior and exterior are very clean. Everything works as it should except for the sunroof. (I never use the sunroof, so I’ve just left it closed. It doesn’t leak) This truck has been my...

I’ve been running a Cardone reman for about 5 years with performance equal or even superior to OEM. I may have gotten lucky, as some reviews will say the cardone units are junk. But for $200, as long as you have a free and easy return policy, it might be worth a gamble to end up with a good...

The lambda reading is independent of the fuel type. Stoich is always at 1. Because all gauges read in lambda (AFR is for display purposes only) it can be easier to tune with the native lambda value, then you don't have to worry about fuel type. E85 stoich is right around 9.8:1 so a 10:1 AFR...

I presume this was just a typo. JohnMc likely meant to say that a lambda reading of 1.0 is stoich for all fuels. All WBO2 sensors read in lambda, and some can be set to display in AFR. Since it's common for most gauges to be setup for gasoline they will convert lambda 1.0 to an AFR of 14.7 by...

I started running E85 about a year ago, also supercharged. I found with the stock 4Runner injectors running E85 would max the positive fuel trim and set the lean code (P0171). On the other hand running the Supra injectors with regular gasoline would max out the negative trim and set P0172...

IMHO the easiest and also the cleanest, most secure way to mount the coolers is to simply zip tie directly to the A/C condenser. With these: Transmission cooler mounting kit I've always used this method. As long as you only tie through the A/C condenser, it doesn't get in the way of removing...

This is a common issue. If you search, you'll find several threads about it. What I did: Try threading the banjo bolt into the caliper without the brake line to confirm if it will bottom out properly or not. It's not the threads of the bolt that are too long though, the inside diameter is what...

Where in Colorado are you located? It's not common for oil pumps on the 3.4 to leak. How was your leak diagnosed? I wouldn't suspect the oil pump unless there were other symptoms (like low oil pressure). It could be the front crank seal or the oil pan gasket coming from that some location...

This is the one I used: PEMENOL 12V Red Fahrenheit Digital Temperature Meter -76F~999F LED Display with Industrial Grade 0.5m K-Type Thermocouple Temperature Sensor M6: Amazon.com: Industrial & Scientific There are a few options for Fahrenheit, but definitely a little harder to find than...

Correct. E15 would bump up the LTFT a few percent, but not nearly enough for the computer to have any problem adjusting. Since running E85 my long term fuel trim has been sitting at around +13%, that’s in addition to 30% larger fuel injectors. On stock injectors it probably would push the trim...

Not sure where you found this info, but this is backwards. Higher ethanol content is specifically sold in the summer to help reduce smog. From June - September is when E15 would be sold. The extra oxygen in ethanol is what is suppose to help reduce smog. Testing doesn’t seem to show a...

I agree from an both an energy and environmental standpoint it's not helping anything to produce ethanol for the transportation sector. While the reasoning for producing this stuff may be flawed, as long as it's available and cheap I'm certainly going to take advantage of it. The lower...
