I'm considering the same option - just disable it as it is rather unspecific and useless. There are aftermarket TPMS monitors you can install that give you pressure in each tire: and some other options.

Hello my fellow GXers! Here is my experience replacing the upstream O2 sensor on the passenger side:

Well, it's not the system that fails, it's the sensor(s) as they get older (7 years or more). Your choice is to either 1) replace the sensors for $240 or 2) to disable the system as this thread suggests.

It's great to see you back, Kamil! I was wondering what happened to my Polish brother from another mother. Glad to hear you had a blast while visiting the motherland! Your truck looks great, man! This is the second re-iteration of your steering wheel (the last one had more pronounced thumb bumps...

That looks great! Especially appreciate your feedback on corroseal and fluid film! Thanks for sharing!

Yes, you may keep your stock wheels and put a larger diameter tire on them. Look at this discussion: GX470 Wheel/Tire/Lift Picture Combination Thread - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/gx470-wheel-tire-lift-picture-combination-thread.970666/page-22#post-13540753 Or do a search on this forum...

Get a set of 33-35" tires. That should get you there. Some guys here are running pizza cutters - a narrow tire but with a tall sidewall that helps to lift the truck an inch or two. Beware that your speedometer will be slightly off.

Incredible transformation! There truck looks tremendous!

How did it go? I did my intake manifold gasket and recorded my experience here: But 2 months later I smell the coolant again, and, although the coolant tank is nearly full, I saw the first drop of coolant on the garage floor again after the truck sat for a week. Scratching my head...

Giving my rear air bags some exercise...12 years and 120k miles, they're still alive!

Mr. Macready, I think you have answered your own question in the last 2 paragraphs. If you have owned the GX for the last 4 years and it has not failed you, it should be fine to keep it. Like you said, if is much cheaper to bring the car up to regular maintenance and get at least another 5 years...

Spark plugs are fairly easy. Here's my experience with this job:

Here's what I did with the SAIS when I was replacing the intake manifold gasket due to coolant leak. I've placed a breather filter on the pump to hopefully extend it's life as the system is working properly now. It it fails, the bypass may be the way to go, but then the truck may not pass...

I agree, I thought it would be more at the dealer. Walmart price is still not bad, but why pay more? I'm going to check it out! Thank you all for advice!
