Do you remember what wires you needed to splice? I just installed mine and I have no sound, tried re installing the old head unit, adjusted volume up, left the car on installed the new unit and still no sound.

The 4Runner guys do a boot extension when they reboot utilizing part of the old boot, seems to help them. It keeps the folds of the boot from rubbing together and tearing. Not sure if it will work on ours. But when I redo my suspension and steering door I’m planning on trying it out. also how...

Did you check your blinker fluid levels? 😂 sorry couldn’t resist..

sorry to hi-jack OP, but how long ago did you replace yours with the detroit? Any noticeable differences in build quality? It looks like they a remanufactured one? Does it come with new bushings? Asking because mine is starting to have good leak and need to replace mine soon too. I’d like to go...

Retraced all my vacuum lines, found one I left unplugged on the lower passenger side.. I’ll see if that’s the fix on tomorrow’s drive to work

Denso coils and O2 sensors, Bosch plugs..

Thanks

I also have the standard exhaust leak at the exhaust manifold on the driver side. Could this be causing it?

2000 land cruiser, 311k miles. A few weeks ago I was getting a p0130 and p300 and p30X. went through did all new coils, spark plugs, both up o2 sensors on banks 1 and two. New passenger side: exhaust manifold gasket, valve cover gasket, and spark plug tube seals. Haven’t gotten to the driver...

ya I’ll keep a close eye on them. Haven’t had an issue in the past with Felpro, but there’s always a first. That or the possibility that I messed something up. Shh don’t tell the wife that, wouldn’t want to ruin my reputation! Hahahaha.

For bending up the tabs I was able to use locking Needle nose pliers to make a clean crease. then from the top side of the covers I was able to gently use a flat head screw driver to wedge between the gasket and the top lip of the valve cover and rotate the driver to apply pressure and...

i got a package for the valve cover bolt washers, I also got another package of O-rings as well. I thing the o-rings are for the cam shaft seals and oil distributor but not 100% on that. I couldn’t see exactly where they were needed at. I didn’t need to freeze mine they slid in fine with oust...

Got the passenger side manifold back on. Had the exhaust shop weld in a new O2 sensor bung. Got the passenger side valve cover off and redid the seals (cover and spark plug tubes), got it back on, new spark plugs and coil packs. Now to tackle the more difficult driver sode.. Ohh I did tear one...

Well, took the LC to the exhaust shop after stripping the upper O2 sensor. I couldn’t get any bite on a thread chaser so figured they might have some luck or they could weld in a new bung without pulling the manifold.. 1 hour later no luck.. towed it back home and proceeded to removed the...

Replaced the fuel filter, then decided to strip out my upper O2 sensor.. waiting on the right size tap/thread chaser. tomorrow will be water pump, and spark plugs. then new Denso coils on Tuesday.
