A Sorry for the late reply! Where are you located? I can run some shipping costs tonight. Feel free to shoot me a private message too.

Sorry for the delay, but I do not have any of the rubber isolators with the current springs. If you need some I would be happy to look at buying some new ones for my rig and throwing in my old ones for you.

I don’t think I do. I will double check when I get home for you though.

Selling my stock height OEM springs. All 4 included. Open to shipping them if needed. $100 for all 4 obo

I have a 97 LX450 OEM rear bumper I need to get rid of after a 4x4 labs install. Comes with everything else needed such as the factory rear frame support, tire carrier, etc. This bumper is heavily used. Lots of paint scratches on the quarters and even a few paint chips on the passenger side...

Hey Jonah, I have a 4x4 labs bumper coming in over the next 1-2 weeks so I will be taking off all of my OEM parts. Would be happy to send my OEM stuff your way. Where are you located?

Wanted to write an update for anyone following this thread. My issue ended up being a simple exhaust leak where the exhaust manifold meets the exhaust. Nuts had backed off just enough to create the noise. No issue with the valves. No issue with spark plugs or timing. Something super...

You’re saying to double check that I’m running OEM spark plugs?

Nothing done recently on the exhaust side close to the engine. I think it’s crazy how hard it is to find a good mechanic nowadays. Past 2 times I took the truck to Toyota they didn’t tighten my oil cap and told me that they “don’t have the tools to grease knuckles or drive shafts”.

Just checked the wiring leading to the sensor and the shielding has actually been peeled off and a new connector has been spliced in about 3 in from the plug. Could something this simple cause the p0330 code? Never thought about that.

Honestly haven’t tested it. Had an exhaust shop fix an exhaust leak by the #2 o2 sensor but I’m not sure they tested anything around the head. Let me see and give an update. Would that be causing that p0330 (knock sensor) code to be thrown though? I guess an exhaust leak could send a wrong...

Haven’t put a stethoscope to it but have had an oil analysis done and came back clean. I should say, most of the engine was rebuild about 40k miles ago. I’ve tried replicating the noise like you’ve described but without load the engine actually revs fine. No issues or noises at all.
