Thanks guys! I know it isn't the gas cap; I've seen that happen before, but it usually throws the check engine light too, and never the Brake! light. This was different. It wasn't the battery either. It has been really cold here, and my battery died three weeks ago, so I'm running a brand...

Thank you. The sensor and harness look fine, but I found one on Amazon for $29 (80% of the OEM price), so I ordered it. If swapping it out doesn't work, I haven't wasted much beyond time. Any ideas if the other codes might be related to that sensor (as unrelated as they seem to be)? I had...

Hey all – I could really use some help. Driving home today, and as I get off the off-ramp and come to a stop, my Brake! light went on. A second later, it was joined by VSC OFF, VSC TRAC, and ABS. The Skid Light and Check Engine lights are NOT lit. The brakes feel normal, and the car drives...

Thank all of you very much - this has been extremely informative. I think it looks like a King setup from Accutune, who will tweak it properly, is going to be the ticket. I appreciate you all taking the time to gather specs and offer advice!

Thank you both for your help. Drbyrdman, do you run 2.0s or 2.5s on the rear? It appears, based on further research, that I should give King a good hard look too. The issue I found there was that several sites posted information to the effect that they should not be used to lift about 2.5"...

As my WTB ad generated no answers (not at all surprising, giving what I was looking for), I’m going to be building what I want myself. I’ve no real experience with suspensions, but I am mechanically inclined, can do engine and brake work, and am a quick study. I’m in need of some instruction...

*sigh* Thank you guys for the help - I was afraid that was going to be the answer. I suppose I'll just chain up the rear and hope for the best. I'm not going to lie; as much as I love my T4R, the inability to put chains on that IFS front is a big Achilles heel, IMO. Anyway, thanks for the...

Hey all, I live on a mountain in VA frequently plagued with a sheet of ice on the steep paved road. I'd like to be able to chain up all four wheels to help on descents, but obviously that's a problem. I'm running an OME lift with 265/70/17 TerraGrapplers, and LR UCAs; while the UCAs have...

You'll need to turn off system restore when digging this nasty out - most competently-written trojans and viruses drop a seed there, so that they may automatically re-infest your computer upon start-up should you succeed in removing them. It stinks to lose those restore points, but unless you...

I second that motion! If they make one for a 2003 4th gen, I'm in! -Tuthmose

Used to run a 2001 Isuzu Vehicross Ironman edition. The VX was tons of fun to drive, good quick and agile on-road and very good on moderate trails . . . .but putting a second car-seat in her was a no go. Just putting the first one in sort of bent the laws of physics. She was also starting to...

Thanks for the links and info, gentlemen! Paraordinance, I'm thinking your kit looks better, simply because it is more specific about the individual parts and their numbers/suppliers. . . Certainly, anybody who could chime in with experience or pointers about those ebay kits, the input would...

Hey all, I've got to have the timing belt/pump/etc. changed on my T4R; I just recently bought the truck at 110,000 miles, and the previous owner had not had the work done (I did use that fact to hammer him down on the price :wink2: ). I haven't the time, sadly, to do this myself. My mechanic...

Hey all, I’m toying with the idea of installing some supplemental aftermarket gauges in my T4R; I’d like to keep a better eye on things like oil pressure, tranny temp, and the electrical system. I'm kinda old-school about such things - "idiot lights" just don't do it for me. Mounting is an...

To use the factory momentary switch, you'll need to wire up some relays to turn its single pulse into a constant on/off connection for use with the ECU-grounding mod. It doesn't look difficult, but I want to make sure I've got it right before I post up a wiring diagram. I should get to this in...
