Hmm I forgot about this thread until you bumped it.
I never did see any noticeable change in MPG when doing the electric fan conversion. However, I didn't track my mileage too closely (awful + 2 is still pretty awful) and how I use my 100 means...
I found that in low rpm conditions, the aux fan helps my A/C cool quicker on my 05 using this kit. I have it wired up to one of my switch pro outputs. Next time I use it, if I have my Autel MX900 with me, I'll log the engine coolant temperature...
Jumping on this threadnaught just to get some perspective. I have a 2003 4.7 UZJ100 that has about 185K miles. I previously had a p0156 code and replaced that sensor and it went away. I then have had p0420 coming up sporadically. Just out of...
My understanding is that bank sensor 2 should generally be stable and flat. It looks like there are periods of lower than expected performance in Bank 1, spikes in Sensor 2 Bank 1, which would align with P0420 code? I am running into a similar...
Nice, I really like the Yokohama tires. I wonder how the thread pattern differs from the X-AT variant?
It looks like A/T XD is pinned for studs.
I have the X-AT in Load E in the LT275/70/18 (~33in on Tundra rims). My only minor nitpick is on...
I have these tires bookmarked in a 295/70r18 size. (For when I move to 18" wheels) because it's a great size for lifted 100's - 34.3" x 11.6"
I like the siping and the aggressive shoulders. Looks like a reasonably good snow tire as well.
These...
"I mentioned a similar issue here. Likely, the cable came off the mount. Try locating the cable and pull hard."
It is this (thanks borescope). Now I need to fashion a tool to get in there and hold the cable housing collar through a very tight...
P0420 doesn't necessarily mean a bad CAT:
From FSM:
Gas leakage on exhaust system
Heated oxygen sensor
Three−way catalytic converter
Other issue can also be at play affecting one or more of above.
Those services have nothing to do with CAT DTC P0420 & P0430, by themselves. But there are common issues during those services, that may be contributors to CAT DTC.
Prolonged idling.
Vacuum lines left off, damaged or lose.
Low coolant level in...
P0420 will not be set based on fuel trim. It would result in a P0171/P0172. See the link below for how to diagnose a P0420.
Code setting criteria for a P0420/P0430:
After engine and catalyst are warmed up, and while vehicle is driven within...
You can try 2 cans 44k in full tank. Sea-foam foger. Than Chevron techron, next tank. Yes even more CAT-a-clean (last best IMHO).
But very unusual for a CAT, even more so for both to go bad on 98-05 even at 1 million miles. You must find and...

Can't see clearly in your picture, what is pipe/tube with open end?
Nice job finding the leak. I've not heard of any known issues with the bypass. Coolant traveling down water pipe from heater hose T could do this, and would be easier fix then...
For sure your coolant system was over pressurizing.
If you had you asked me to do a remote PPO inspection. I would have warn you, about concern with this engine over-heating. This is based on what little you've just now disclosed about history...
If you replace your _____ every_____, you will greatly reduce your chances of getting stranded. Obviously, sometimes these parts fail sooner. YMMV.

Honda sells rodent tape-
https://www.hondapartsnow.com/genuine/honda~tape~rodent~19mm~20m~4019-2317.html
Its tape infused with spicy capsicum to deter those bastards from causing expensive damage. It'll be a project, but worth it.
I just ordered a roof rack from Dissent. Anyone have one and use external molle panels on the rear windows. I am trying to figure out what ones are compatible with the Dissent roof rack. All I can find are Prospeed, which have two versions and...
