I looked up a 2007 to quote that time up. It allots 1.2 hours for cam seals when doing it in addition to timing belt job. It does seem a little low, which is why most shops mark up the labor time to cover themselves in cases like that. These times are from Mitchell which is one of the most...

My labor guide says 6.5 hours for timing belt, cam seals, crank seal, and water pump replacement. Not uncommon for shops to mark up the labor time to somewhere in the 7-8 hour range though.

99% of the time when that code comes up it needs the bank 2 catalytic converter replaced. I would take it to a shop to confirm.

I had the same problem a few years ago on a road trip, 100+ degrees outside. It did it probably 10+ times in the span of a few hours of driving. I think it may have just been a bad batch of fuel or something it ended up working itself out. Haven't had the issue again since. So probably not the...

Ordered a black one. Thanks!

I had this exact thought while sitting at light last week! Looks great. I'd also be interested in one if you make a run. I think a black anodize would look awesome.

Check your battery terminals. I had a similar issue and battery tested good. I was getting ready to replace the starter when I noticed my scangauge was only showing 11v with key on. I decided to check what voltage I was actually getting at the end of the battery terminal. It was like 11v, where...

That is a hell of deal on a used engine. My shop would charge about $4k just for labor. Make sure they aren't cutting any corners. You'll want a new timing belt, water pump, cam/crank seals, and thermostat installed on the used(new) engine at a minimum. This would also be a good time to do spark...

Benzeen Auto Parts out of Rancho Cordova is pretty good. They were formally called Toyota, Lexus, Scion Auto Recyling. I have an engine with 95k out of an 05 Tundra and am located in Modesto if anyone is interested. It dropped a valve seat, so it'll need a head and valve job done to it. I was...

Gary and Mudrak are great! I can't recommend them enough. What he mentioned is very much a possibility, as is foreign material going into the intake like @JunkCrzr89 mentioned.

@TheForger I'll take a stainless. No feeler gauge

My 2000 has 226k on original trans. Never had an issue with it. I agree with everyone else that there isn't much of a reason to replace the trans as a preventative measure. I would do a transmission service and inspect it and more than likely call it good unless you see chunks and debris. DO NOT...
