Well a few trips later and tried everything online and still goes from 1700-2200rpm erratically. In fact Toyota says to engage parking brake, turn on ignition twice, depress brake pedal, start then immediately put into drive then wait. Well I did that. For 6 minutes or so u til my High A/T...

Well I think I may have done transmission damage now? I followed the factory procedure for the ECU to eeprogram itself and while holding the brake and having it in D, the transmission overheated. Fluid pissed out of the front of the case and all. And it was brown and boiling hot. About a cup...

Wand the saga continues. Same as all above and tried all the voodoo stuff and still goes from 1500-2500rpm, a little less when my foot is on the brake. Took it for several rides and the leg it idle a few minutes. Honestly it was so erratic I turned the truck off as I didn’t want to do any...

I’d take one if they became available

So I got this adhesive stuff but as it’s just me, I didn’t want to remove the hood so I cleaned everything well, measured and went for it. The adhesive is very good. For Amazon, I bought the 5 star stuff and I think it ran about $80 or so a roll. I did put one clip in so far and will add a...

Because you’re a real man. Hope you do t have airbags. The cuck pillows of weak drivers. Die like a man 👍

I have the same. Stuff from Amazon. It’s adhesive right? I just both don’t want to remove the hood and don’t have a lot of help to do so. This leaves me with stabbing for the retainers. Any ideas?

Yeah I’m just going to love on boys. Sorry for the rant. I believe forums like this and the community who shares my love for these amazing machines. Ac was just a joke I didn’t want to go down living in Houston. I pick it up tmro, pay them and lick my wounds and move on to a fun project like...

I’m happy to pay someone to properly diagnose and fix a problem especially on specialty vehicles. If you e done a job 100 or 1000 times you can fix it quickly and right the first time. Happy to pay for their expertise. But at $200 an hour for someone to dick around? Sorry I can do that for...

I typically do the same but I’ve been super busy with work and I live in Houston so I didn’t want to chance it. I just can’t see why people would mark up parts above list. I’ve spoken to several shops during this journey and I’ve even had them mark parts up 200 to 300%, charge double for labor...

Never mind I answered my own question. I get it now. Well the person I spoke to obviously didn’t know what they were talking about and the shop either didn’t or was trying to sell me parts I didn’t need. I’ll rant here: for shops to mark up parts 20-30% over list price is crap and to say...

Why would oil leak from an AC evaporator core? Stupid question maybe but I’ve also been told if there’s damage like that it’s likely a leak and Freon is escaping.

So not wanting to take any chances and busy at work I decided to take it to get the ac sorted out. My compressor was not engaging about at all and I did opt to have the expansion valve replaced and the dryer too (all Denso). Shop called and said my evaporator core was s*** and they couldn’t...

Switched out the sensor. Listened by wrench and didn’t remove the wheel or anything. Did the swap by hand the tightened and reconnected the plug easy peasy. Luckily the sheered piece came out pretty easy. Started up and runs great. No CEL and all sensors and connections are good to go...

Thanks all good info. I don’t have a way to clear the code as I had it diagnosed but decided to do the work myself. Is there a way to clear it? Disconnect battery? I did have a bad EGR which I replaced then also did the heater control valve and some hoses. All OEM. One thing, on my EGR, I...
