    For Sale Dallas TX: 80 Series Right Hand Drive (RHD) OEM Mirror Set (New) for sale.

    They are no longer for sale. I made them fit. The problem was the right hand drive mirrors are adjusted to fit a driver in the Right hand side. When I installed them in my US Left Hand Side vehicle, I had trouble adjusting the mirrors correctly. I had to use old glass mirrors and shim the...

    Error code P0333 - knock sensor

    The pigtail has a knock sensor connector on one end and a bare wire on the other end. In my case the problem was not the sensor or plastic housing but was the actual wire. I cut the bank 2 knock sensor wire as far back as I could and used solder and shrink wrap to replace the bank 2 knock...

    Error code P0333 - knock sensor

    I am posting an update of my recent 2005 2UZ-FE repair to resolve my P0330 CEL Knock Sensor Bank 2. I had installed new OEM knock sensors pn 89615-52010 (fits 08/2002-05/2005) over the summer but the same CEL came back on. The ECU computer definitely put my engine in a Limp mode to help protect...

    Starter replacement & P0325 blues. Any other "while you are in there maintenance?"

    Appreciated the details in this thread. Have changed both knock sensors with new oem parts and starter this past summer on my 2005 cruiser with 252k miles. During a recent interstate road trip from Dallas down to Boca Chica to watch the 11/18/23 Starship launch. My old nemesis PO 330 knock...

    Error code P0333 - knock sensor

    My 2 cents worth. Agree with not changing the harness. The wires are usually good but the plastic housing tend to fail. I had CEL 330 bank 2 knock sensor error code on my 2005 cruiser with 252k miles in the spring time. Pulled the manifold, changed both knock sensors with new oem replacements to...

    Knock sensors replacement - recommendations along the way? (P0330)

    I was able to clear the code. It stayed off for a month. I did not come back immediately and dropped off briefly while driving yesterday. It did return when I slowed down after getting off of the interstate. Appreciate all the comments. Spent 2 hours reviewing the FSM and some other posts. Will...

    Knock sensors replacement - recommendations along the way? (P0330)

    I have already changed my starter and replaced all the connector housings. I observed while driving yesterday that while driving at highway speeds the CEL light went off but came back on again when I slowed down at a stop. I am particularly interested if anyone has details on the CEL process...

    Knock sensors replacement - recommendations along the way? (P0330)

    Nice thread with great pictures and info. Thanks for posting. My vehicle is a 2005 100 Series with 253K miles on it. Back in May, the CEL P0330 "- Powertrain Knock Sensor 2 Circuit (Bank 2)" code popped up. After researching on MUD and youtube, I pulled the intake manifold, swapped both Knock...

    Side mirror left & right adjustment

    zpilot, thanks for responding. No, I am not using a different bottom screw. I installed the new "RHD" Toyota OEM mirrors I purchased from Australia and immediately noticed the difference. Then talking with other MUDDERs, concluded that I was looking at RHD mirrors and not LHD mirrors. I...

    Side mirror left & right adjustment

    I have a new project 1997 FZJ80 and wanted to replace the mirrors. I found a link for OEM mirrors from Australia and ordered them. When I installed them, I found the alignment appears to be for an Aussie Right Hand Drive (RHD) vehicle and not a US LHD vehicle. Does anyone know how to change the...
