The reason I’m asking is the pin location on my MAF is different than stock and if the wiring wasn’t correct the truck will run but will run rich

the P0172 is a system rich error. Basically the ECU has pulled 20% of the base injector timing out to compensate for a rich AFR. Does this truck have one of my old MAFs installed?

A store pedal and poor breaking is almost always a frozen caliper or seized rear slide pin.

I don’t see the LSPV clogging it up. But if a lift is installed the LSPV can greatly inhibit braking and pedal feel if not addressed

Years ago I bought a MAF that was new and in a Toyota box off of EBay. When I got it, it didn’t work. Wrote back to the seller telling him this and he cussed me out for being a scammer and told me I was lying. I responded that I had a special skill set and he would be wise to except my return...

Since I started to show my truck some love it's been one thing after another. For a while now it would have rough idle at times and reving the engine seemed to help. Yesterday out of the blue the truck started running erratically rpms dropping and had all I could do to get it back into the...

just the supplied gasket

So the first samples of the intake adapter arrived today. The castings look great. A small issue with mounting them and a larger issue with plumbing them. Mounting issue was from the counter bores for the hollow dowels needs to be 7/16”. I think they use a closet metric equivalent. I’ve seen...

The new shafts I build are just under 4.25” Diameter. Toyota also uses a smaller diameter DC. It’s the joint with outside clips and found on some tacomas. But those joints require pulling the shaft to grease and have smaller bearing caps and shorter needle bearings. The best I can tell is it’s...

on a side note. During these times of driving distances in hot weather it was usually accompanied by the Charcoal canister hissing and a kerosene smell from under the hood. Working on my truck a couple of years ago I spotted 2 kinked hoses that were part of the EVAP system and replaced them...

At one point in Salt Lake City the transmission himp was so hot my phone powered off. And my AC was cranking My exhaust runs over the frame like the 93-94 models and it needs some heat wrap.

I had that a moth ago when I drove cross country. Basically the fuel in the tank had heated to a point where the tank was pressurized. I started to pay attention to tank pressure when I first took the cap off. And started to add fuel slowly at first to allow the new colder fuel from the...

For me, u-joints tend to vibrate more under less load. The common deceleration vibration is from negative load. The shaft is trying to slow the truck down. Not the best explanation but hopefully you get the idea.

Remove the rear tires and place jack stands under the frame in front of the LCAs. Unbolt the body from the frame leaving the front bolts loose in place Using a chain, attach it to the 2 floor striker points for the 3rd row seats. Attach a cherry picker to the chain and lift the rear up off...

From me designing my seat brackets I've found that there is 2 distinct weldng positions on the frame rails. It has to do with the position of the 2 hole block that the following nut for the lead screw that moves the seat back and fourth. If you look at my seat kit you will see that the area...
