So excited to be going back , see the mountains, and meet some great people. Now begins the planning and preparations. So got a question for people familiar with colorado, utah, new Mexico etc. I'm beginning to plan my trip (thinking around 16 days including HIHX) and looking for good places...

Turns out to just be a fuse. Got it swapped and back to normal. Started freaking out for a minute there. The outside temp is still reading strangly high but seems to slowly be dropping to normal

Will anyone have techstream with them? Made it right outside of the great sand dunes and it seems like a computer shut off. Vgrs light, traction control, side mirrors won't adjust outside temp reading is off the charts says it's 108 when it should only be 85 or so. No error codes on a basic obd...

What color is that on the lseat replacements? I made the mistake of ordering the white eru or something :/ and haven't installed till I get some dye.

I know this is an older thread, but looking for some info. I'm throwing the same code p0446. I've been testing the voltage at the rear charcoal canister VSV and I'm only getting 2.6v unlike the 12v on the other two vsv valves in the engine bay when the ignition is on. Is that normal voltage, or...

Hey, I got one of those too for the trip! Just tried it out the other week.

Hahahaha. I feel dumb, yes I should be able to do that. I didn't even consider that cause that's not how I took it off. I'll just put the brackets on first. Sometimes all it takes is another pair of eyes. Thanks!

Called another dealership, and no one is able to help me. So now I might be looking for creative solutions for the nut. Since I can't get a wrench to the back side, any ideas for making something work?

So i went ahead and got the part from partsouq.com. It arrived and looks great. The old one had a lot of corrosion under the paint from the road salt im guessing. My only problem is i can't find the replacement nuts for the mounting bracket. I found all the bolts and got those ordered along...

That's the best price I have seen on the OEM. I might go for it. I never thought of getting it repaired. I just assumed those sort of things were just replaced. It's got a leak somewhere about half way up it. I can't pinpoint where exactly till I clean it up some. But maybe I'll start with...

So better to get a used OEM than a new aftermarket?

I'm looking to see if anyone knows if a Denso transmission cooler is available? Specifically for an 2003 lx 470 Mine started leaking last week. I believe the Toyota part is 32910-60130. Or is the dorman brand any good? I'm not looking to spend $500 on this but I also plan on keeping the car...

Okay so if I understand this correctly. I can take apart the male connector and repin the male (where do I find these pins? And do they just crimp on or is there a generic guide to doing this sort of repair? Now for the female with a pin broken inside I could take this one apart and remove the...

Well I figured out the culprit here after I started getting a vsv error too. They all use the same connector. Now I need to figure out how to fix this. I have no idea how corroded connectors are fixed. Looks like the pin for the VSV corroded enough to get stuck in the female connector. I can't...

Last time I went through Louisville since my best friend lives there and it's slightly more scenic. It's about 25 minutes slower for me to go that way though. Not sure what I'll do this year. I finally convinced him (more importantly his wife) to come out to HIH, so they are flying out there for...
