Hello all. I just got 2023 the day before Thanksgiving. I live in the Seattle area and all dealers here have a "market adjustment" something like that thats around $1999. So all the dealers have an added 2K one of the Dealers near me sells at MSRP. I went in and they had two available and one...

Well, everything seems ok now. Got an regular bulb in my third brake light. No AbS light all day. Lessons learned on this one. Only broke two connectors and lost only one screw. Lol. Today I replace an O2 sensor. Upstream came out, down stream has stripped nuts. Not sure what to do yet. It’s...

Well, I did as much as I could. I found a new brake light switch. I’m not the most savvy one with a multimeter but I try. I decided to buy a brake light switch to compare with the one coming out. They seem to be testing (ohms) about the exact same. I’m confident my switch is good but i put the...

Well, I’m rolling around under this thing trying. I came across a post about testing with a multimeter the ohms at the connector. Post said front should read over 1500 which I removed them they look good and they do In fact read over that. I’m assuming they are good. Just tested the back which...

Ive got me a 98 sr5. My ABS light has been on for about three weeks now. I noticed the second it came on. In the car wash. Im sure something just got wet. Ive been waiting for this weekend to dive into it to resolve the situation. Last night I used the Diagnosis deal in the engine and a jumper...

Well I need to learn somehow. I decided (at least until I stall) on Eibach OE replacement shocks from and rear. If it comes to lifting I’ll deal with that down the road. Eibach’d OE are affordable. Didn’t find any reviews on the OE replacements but hey I’ll review them. With shocks chosen I’m...

I stand corrected about Foam cell kit. Looks like they are 2" lift. Also i just spoke with Bubba on the phone at Ironman and cleared a few things up for me.

Creating a list of things to do and an order to do them in. The very next thing ill do is lower ball joints (thanks for all the suggestions). On that note, I can find them (OEM parts) no problem I was just wondering if there is a good source for parts I might need to know about. I found my way...

I tend to agree with this. I had an Audi A4 and put a k&n on. I had the best mechanic ever never took advantage of me he straight told me to put the factory air cleaner back on. Said the MAF would throw a code. Guess what? Before I could change it it sure did. Luckily I was able to just clean it.

Thanks for confirming that. Seen one and was like wtf? But then I seen the other side. Figured as much.

So…. Now that I’ve got the steering rack bushings in and replaced, along with new sway bar end links and end link bushing where would you point next? I feel my truck has more body roll than it should. I feel like i could get it up on two wheels if I really jerked the wheel hard enough. I looked...

First weekend working on it. Brakes in front near new, drums in back will need to be done, installed steering rack bushings (energy suspension), found broken sway bar end link and replaced both installed with energy suspension bushings. I’ll check plugs and wires next along with planning to...

Thanks! I found one video on you tube that references torque specs . And I’m happy to report they are the same. Makes me feel good when multiple sources give the same numbers. 👍 thanks for your quick reply.

I seen these as I was searching. Was looking for an article explaining lift/ sway bar/ end links and how they effect each other. Just got the truck and need to determine if it’s stock height. Determine if I will lift it if it is, and what parts will need to change if I do. They sure don’t make...

Well, it wasn’t pretty for a hot minute. Took way to long but I got her done. Advanced auto had a set in stock. Went ahead and got them and installed them. Now I can figure out springs and shocks. I figure I may have to change them out anyways later. I was in a time crunch. Installed with the...
