I have very recently replaced my exhaust system, except for the resonator pipe.
I bought Magnaflow (and BRExhaust made by Magnaflow) from Summit Racing and I bought all hardware, gaskets, and cushions from Toyota.
The Magnaflow exhaust is all...
That's what I'd do before buying another O2 sensor.
The ECU compares the downstream O2 reading from the upstream O2 and looks for a relative difference. There should be a difference because the oxygen has been reacted by the platinum core of the...
It's a lot cheaper to replace the downstream O2 sensor to match the new upstream one you've already done than buy a set of cats, but it's a WHOLE LOT easier to check the resistance of the downstream O2 sensor, first.
When you changed the...
I'm curious how a suspension lift would impact where your fan shroud and fan sit...? More than likely, your engine mounts are shot and allowing the angle or tilt of the engine to affect centering of the fan in the shroud. Have you looked at those...
How many total miles are on this truck, and how many since any type of engine work? Really need to get a sense of how much oil it's burning over what distance or period of time to get some guesses about where it might be getting into the...
Yeah, sliced my middle finger ever so slightly, but bled out like a stuck pig.

Blood sacrifice?
All of my vehicles have bloody fingerprints in some of the most obscure places,...

Recovery mission in Whetstone…. Spotted this dude DOA.
Whipped it around…
Looks like the engine mounts were toast and the fan went into the shroud. I peeled back the shroud and then cut the fan fins down for clearance. Then...
