Love those wheels!!!

Front and rear sway bars?

I was too frazzled to check in the moment. If it happens again hopefully I'll be able to slow myself down and check. The relay is about 1 year old OEM so if the new one is starting to act up... I don't know.

Just a follow up. Today at a gas station I had a crank, no start issue. It acted exactly the same as before. I tapped on the relay with my hand and the truck started right up. That efi relay was very expensive! @medtro I'm going to message you about cost. Thanks

Mine was running about 200-210 in just about any temp. I put a new thermostat in and the temps dropped to around 195. Pretty sure the thermostat was not opening all the way. You're doing what I would do first (assuming your radiator is clean).

I don't follow a many build threads but I'm enjoying this one. I like cheap vehicles and I love transformations! 😎

1. If I remember correctly they are a little lop sided from the factory. Maybe not that much but some. I wouldn't change them at all until you have the bumper support brace to bolt on (if you decide to put a factory bumper back on) 2. @scubadoober said, looks like someone has been there...

Same exact spacer I was running with OEM wheels. They're about $115 on Amazon. I only took them off because I brought aftermarket wheels. I trust them but to each their own. I firmly believe must failures are from user error. I had spidertrax on my Tacoma. My level of worry was the same.

I believe most of it has to do with whether or not the torque converter is locked. It locks in 4th and 5th but not 3rd. I tow in 4th and try not to let it drop to third much which sometimes means going a little slower in the show lane. But on steep hills that's not possible but the steep hills...

I prefer naked, no caps.

Excellent info. Not what I found in other threads so I'm grateful you shared it. And... Sorry for highjacking the thread.

Pulling enclosed trailers I don't think I've seen over 168° F. That's not a direct answer to your question but it might somehow help.

That's a fun project! I'll say it again - I'm a sucker for a transformation. Transformations are my weakness. Enjoy!

I Agree with all of that.

https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/intermittent-crank-no-start-intermittent-dead-battery-solved.1348872/ Some similarities but quite a few differences. For example, your condition number one should rule out the main relay. But I think I thought I would share anyway. Kind of sounds like a loose...
