I o could never accept just ignoring or deleting so I chased (and 12 months later) solved it. It’s the Vacuum Switching Valve (VSV) under the upper manifold. I had the guys at Tandem Offroad replace when they had it for a few days and it’s...

Camping and looking for elk. Did about 60 miles of dirt and ended up going down a gnarly trail to get off the mtn. I should have stopped to get better photos of some of the obstacles but I was dealing with a hangover from hell 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

I likely have one ( or two ) if anyone is in need just shoot me a direct message, thanks @Mag71k5 for the mention.

My entire cooling system has been replaced including a modified blue clutch. Every part, every hose. I don't have any overheating issues but I did notice average temps dropped after reinstalling the radiator guard. Mr T designed it to help...

I would say necessary as well.

It’s more of a splash guard and air channeler. I declare it necessary.

The Toyota factory service manual (FSM) and electronic wiring diagram (EWD) are invaluable resources for every single system on the vehicle. If you plan to do any work yourself, they are must haves. Download from the resources section. Go to...

Wanted to drop a note in here for others searching for resolution on an intermittent no-start issue. I've been chasing this thing for literally years - I would get an intermittent (and sometimes weak) start that came and went. It always would...

Changing it up here on inner/outer fender clearancing. Cheers

So much work but getting there. Cheers

Or, buy a couple feet of gates green stripe or even white strip hose and two constant torque clamps like Breeze offers and use this to run from the head outlet up to the heater valve eliminating one hose and two clamps and the steel pipe...

It's more than "touchy–feely". The online "stores" have no idea what's in your truck. If you do, you're miles ahead of most people (and I know you're in that camp), but you're still empty handed when it comes to superseded parts that aren't in...

Toyota sells what you are looking for with a new pipe installed on the hose as well.

@Malleus thanks for the thoughts on the internal connectors - good call. I moved onto step 2 and began pulling the fuses 1 by 1. Hit a yahtzee when I pulled the "Defogger" fuse. I heard the relay click (off I assume) and the Brake & Seatbelt...

You said you did the exhaust, is the bracket tight on the upper engine where it holds the y pipe? Mine occasionally loosens and slidesdown cause ing bad rattle sound. You can see it from top of engine bay on pass near and below the rear fire wall

I’m down if you wanna ship

Put in new belts pulleys, compressor, in the 95, blowing ice cold again

Next time remove the efi fuse and you won’t have power to the fuel pump

Sounds like your 180 out as in you needed to rotate again on the crank What is clear flood mode?

Sorry, @ajax1 , I thought I was replying to @Cowmeat . Same comment to you, @Cowmeat . The only reason to tear off those tags is to conceal the lie. There's no way your springs are not backwards.

Also if I am remembering right there is a spring pad believe called isolater pad that helps dampen the noise sits on top of the spring, maybe left it out, but it would not count for inch difference, but if your pulling springs mine as well check

Mine had tags like old man emu, but I bought those in 2017, maybe newer don’t , but that seems a little odd, mine were the teal color. Maybe dumb installer ripped them off not thinking and just installed?
