Quiet good all terrain tire, Falken wildpeak at3w. I have had nitto trail grappler (rebadge toyo), bfg a/t (too soft) and ko2 (too hard), toyo m/t (heavy and hard). Love the Falken at3w, they did drop the gmc envoy mpg a solid 1.5 mpg on the freeway. We had snow and ice in eastern Oregon, they...

The misfires most likely won’t cause engine damage, more of an annoyance. When it misfires under load that is when real issues happen. But the 1fz properly running is smooth as glass at idle. What is MAF reading at idle?

Egr test is, disconnect vacuum hose. The lack of misfire will tell you if that is the problem. With it disconnected the check engine light will come on but it isn’t a big deal. You can clear it by pulling the EFI fuse for 5 minutes. It’s good to know that they barely shaved the cylinder head...

As far as lean condition I would make sure I have a new NTK or oem O2 sensor, it makes a nice difference on these engines. You can also read your fuel trims with a multimeter. You didn’t say if the shop was reading that. You didn’t say what plugs or wires you used, denso or ngk only...

Cool that you narrowed it down, I wrote that slightly wrong. You don’t need the ignition on when you pull the fuse 😂. Sometimes you need it pulled for a longer period of time. It’s good that you got the ecu reset and cleared to find the real fault.

From your own words about being a kid like when dealing with diagnosis I would not advise you to tear into the harness. You may create more problems. Have you had the battery disconnected since you have owned it, like when you installed the stereo? I would pull the EFI fuse with ignition on...

It should be ready but without lockers. So I will take the Explorer instead unless something changes. Quite a few of my friends stay in Detroit Oregon at “all season motel” (not very nice) or “the lodge” (better)

Interior is very rough, no 3rd row anymore. I may be looking for a 3rd row. I have seen worse driver seats, both A pillar trims torn probably due to water leak. I do need sun visors, anyone have extras? Back passenger seat is nasty!!!! Whistler radar detector for my high speed race car life 😂

Finally got the fj80 to the shop, I plan on tearing into her Saturday. 1995, 246k, salvage title, limited w/o lockers, doh!!! Does run, horrible rod knock. The blinker/marker light panel is red under the black (possible bed liner) paint, no a/c condenser, radiator core is tweaked. Rear...

Replace the modulator. The exhaust blows against a diaphragm in the modulator to regulate the vacuum signal to the egr. If the ecu doesn’t want the egr it opens the vsv to vent the signal the modulator created. If you take a good one apart you will see a tiny black dot in the filter pad...

Go to a transmission shop and ask to buy a remanufactured one. Should be 150-250 plus core charge. As for stall speed stock (1800-2200) is fine unless you put a camshafts in it.

Little more lipstick on my pig. The as cast ports are horrid on GM’s back in the day Little cleaning

The $300 is an additional adapter to make it a 4 bolt. Technically a older 4 bolt case with proper shaft should be a shorter overall length. The 3 bolts you are referring to is in the slip yoke, ie part of the 2wd driveshaft

No transmission can stop the output shaft in neutral, if they did it wouldn’t be neutral 😂 The difference could be, lower stall speed causing more hydraulic force on the free spinning shafts. Shafts that spin easier in neutral.

220 in and 190 out isn’t bad. If you were severely clogged it would be 220 at transmission and outside temp coming out of aux cooler at the aux cooler. To flow test the cooler have the cooler dump into a 1 quart bottle and run it for 15 seconds. Times the amount it dump by 4 and that will give...
