Using the scanner I checked wheelspeeds at very slow speeds, like put it in 4lo and crawl forward. The RF sensor wasn't registering until 5 kmh, all the rest started reading at 1 kmh. The RF sensor wasn't fully seated. I think when I pulled the fronts to clean them, I didn't get that one...

After a bit of research, this is actually quite a common problem on other makes and models.... people get false abs activation when braking at very low speeds. Mine is kind of opposite in that it's when taking off, and only 4wd, but I think it's a clue. The general consensus for diag is to...

Has anyone seen a faulty skid control ECU in one of these? I'm having a unique issue with trac in 4wd on my 2005 sequoia SR5. The following situations are all when taking off from a stop going straight ahead. In 4hi, taking off from a stop, the slip light flashes and power is cut momentarily...

I was under the impression the LSD wasn't common. There aren't many yards around me, closest one is 3+ hours away (one way). I guess you can test if it's still good by disconnecting the driveshaft or putting it in neutral, holding one wheel/axle stationary, and using a torque wrench on the other...

Well answered my own question I guess. The factory LSD uses clutches. Buying a used unit sight unseen, I no idea what shape the clutches are in. I can't find just the clutch packs easily in the event it needs a rebuild. So I decided to go with the powertrax lock right. It's cheaper, I know...

I've got a 2005 sequoia with open rear diff. I was originally planning on doing a lunchbox locker in the back and living with the noise/driveability quirks. Now I have a line on a Tundra LSD for cheaper than a powertrax no slip. Right now me sequoia is stock aside from worn 265/75/16 K02s. My...

Ended up ordering the foxwell since I can just send it back to amazon if it doesn't work. Will update the post with how it is when I get it.

Looking for a bi-directional code reader. Trying to hunt down a weird issue. Would like to check/reset the SAS, and cycle/test the ABS module and individual valves within it. Anyone use the Foxwell NT510 Elite off of Amazon or the CGS SC530 for Toyota? They're $200 and $130 respectively. Claim...
