T-man's '05 Sport Build Thread

Wired up my URD O2 simulator tonight. First thought, my truck idles better. Lower and smoother. Went for a short drive, maybe it's placebo but it seems much snappier. Quieter until I open her up, smoother, peppier when I step in it, and less smell. (it was running really rich) tomorrow will tell if my mpg are better and how the power is as I have a 250 mile trip down the expressway.

I didn't read your entire thread so I apologize in advance. Are you fighting a P0420/P0430 code and that's why the URD 02 sim was needed?
 
They refuse to warranty. For on road use only.

Threads on the shaft are pulled down pretty bad. I'm going to try but I don't think it'll stay.

On road use only? Wtf? Where does it say that in their warranty?

Also, I managed to rip the tang off the top of the rod on a front shock. Was trying to loosen the top nut:

One trick that's used for this scenario is to soak it with PB blaster then use an impact air gun to spin off the nut. The PB Blaster penetrates the corrosion while acts as a lubricant for when the nut spins at such a high rate with a rattle gun!

Not to sound like a d*ck, but you really think that wasn't the first thing I did? I even has the torch out. I ended up having to cut half the side of the nut off, impact it off then rethreaded it.

I had a nut strip out and had to cut it in half with a Dremel. Pita! Like I have said, Bilsteins can suck a bag of dicks!

I'll have to go find the paperwork to remember which code again. I actually suspect the O2 sensor is bad too. I'm going to replace it and get an obd-2 reader to see what the voltage is and everything so I can tell if it's rich/lean or whatever.

Thinking the sway bars help to limit the suspension travel but the shocks are designed to use with sway bars?
And good point! I hadn't thought of that. The sway bar does limit how far the axle can drop, so maybe it's to much pressure for the Bilsteins to handle. Limit straps would solve that, although they still ride like crap regardless. Lol.

Figured I'd check in here again....
You know, if you wouldn't ABUSE and push these manufactures parts PAST there designated limitations, you probably wouldn't be breaking shit... Just an observation...LOL.


Just another observation, "Sent from the drivers seat of my 05 4runner." So with all your postings you do, does this mean your texting while driving???

Yeah, just hate it when I'm trying to solve problems, and just be creating others in the same motion. Dayum creak sounds in my Poly bushings in LCA. Probably going to have to install grease zerks in the stock arms now is all I can see to solve this annoyance.

Note to self, just keep taking ride to the extreme.

What's it doing?
Hard shifting, won't shift past 3rd sometimes, no overdrive sometimes, slips into neutral between 1st and 2nd sometimes providing a nice neutral slam. Has 3 codes too. P2714, p0986, p0776.

Sounds like a solenoid issue. Damn dude do you beat the living crap outta your truck or do you just have terrible luck?
 
Change your fluid, mine did similar thing after engine swap cause fluid was low, change fluid, clear codes, then slowly shift gears so it'll go to each solenoid. If you pull the pan take them off and clean them if they seem dirty they have screens that collect crap over the years

live action!!
