Replacing the clutch assembly with the factory kit. Any tips on performing the air gap check? I'm going to be performing this on the rig (I will remove the oil filter)? I'll be using a dial indicator. Thanks!

Went through the same fears. Though mine at about 260k. The gauge would move, but some days it would be pegged at the top, other days be pegged to the bottom at idle and then move up. I replaced the sending unit, it seemed to help for a few days. About a month ago the gauge just stopped...

Please triple check this, but I believe it is a 1/8 BSPT. I had the same, bought an oil pressure kit and the adapter. Eventually my dash gauge just gave out completely.

Finally had time to remove the belt, the AC pulley feels fine, it doesn't spin super easily, but also doesn't make any noise. Put a stethoscope on the AC housing and while turning the pulley no odd noise.. but I can't give it a "wheel of fortune" spin. But same goes for my idler etc, they are...

It looks like you are able to check the air gap with the compressor on the vehicle, can you point me to this process? I have a dial indicator etc. I'm also not clear on what was going on with the indicator plunger in the beginning. Thank you.

On my 02, I have noticed that if I turn the AC on and drive for a while I get a bearing like failure noise but only when the compressor cycles off. It will go on for a while once it's cycled off or I've turned the AC off. It looks a bit like the magnetic clutch is moving a little bit. If I...

This went away on Tuesday. Today I was pulling a trailer down a muddy trail, dropped the trailer, backed the rig up and decieded to put it in low on a steep muddy hill. About 5 seconds after putting it in low range I had the christmas tree again. Thought maybe it was angle realated so pulled...

Mack, If you look over on my thread. My 06 doesn't flip any lights on when the transfer case is in low. When I engage the CDL I do get VSC OFF as expected. But on an icy hill when wheel spin is encountered the 06 does engage ATRAC I do get the trac light and I can hear the ABS engaging...

Well, my 06 does not exhibit the same behavior in L 4. And the atrac works just fine in low range.

I’m wondering if this is expected behavior. Should have a battery in my 06 to see if she behaves the same today. Some Google Fu showed some discussions that lead me to think this may be normal. Others seem to point to a possible issue. So yeah, hopefully someone will chime in. I put all of...

Tonight I was moving a trailer in snow. I noticed in low range VSC TRAC / VSC OFF and ABS lights illuminate. Putting the transfer case into high and turning the ignition off and on clears the lights. In low I get no help from ATRAC. I tested this by climbing a very slick snowy hill. ATRAC...

For my 06 VVTI - trying to find the part numbers for the water pump O-Rings. Buying pieces parts during the sale but just can't get a definitive on those little o-rings.

Serra toyota of Decatur vs Birmingham made a huge difference. I had to return a bunch of parts to birmingham (everything just thrown in a box), my last order (from Decatur) had similar parts and they were packed with precision and the utmost care. Super happy.

Weird, they say they can’t ship to me!

great point on the fragments. On my 06 I clamped the hoses on all sides of the T's. While fruitful, it was nerve wrecking (and I mean wrecking) positioning clamps in spots where I felt they would not damage the metal inlet or outlets, or cause one of the T's to crumble. So I worked my way up...
