You sir are a genius. The road it quit on was recently chip seal paved. My neighbor is furious because of the rock damage to his BMW from the chip sealing... Anyway, the connector going to the fuel pump is between the drivers rear door sill and the frame. Sure enough, the red power wire was...

I’ve read the posts relating to the CEL and fusible links but I think this is different. My wife was driving her truck down the highway and it quit suddenly. I quickly diagnosed that the fuel pump wasn’t running so I ordered one. Last night I determined that there is no power getting to the...

Based on area... stock 2" system is 3.14159 square inches of flow aperture. 2.5" system is 4.91 square inches which is 56% bigger than stock. Thank you for the reply. I don't want drone but do want to open it up a bit. I might get a muffler shop to build me a system. Are you running headers?

How can this make sense? We let it inhale but don't let it exhale any better...

I need to replace the suspension bushings in my wife's LX450. I gave a well equipped shop with a house and a press. How long should I budget for this job? I want to do them all. What do I need to pay attention to? Any other tips?

We put the TRD SC on my wife's Lexus about 4 years ago... the Bosal aftermarket exhaust is starting to show its age now (6 years). Before I do another aftermarket / oem system, it seems like I should bump this up to 2.5". Under full boost, the SC is pushing in up to 60% more air, shouldn't the...

I have searched this topic and have come up with 3 answers. Those who have a TRD supercharger on your 80 series, what oil are you using in your supercharger? A. Toyota oil for the newer superchargers available from the dealer at $70/pint. B. GM supercharger oil, inexpensive and readily...

Anybody? I at least want to change the oil in ours...

Has any body changed the oil in their supercharger yet? I want to change the oil in my wife's SC in her LX450 but don't want to use he wrong stuff. The local dealer told me that Canadan dealers can't get the right TRD oil. Apparently it is different stuff than the newer TRD SCs use.

Nope, it is all electric. The actuator is a great big servo. I did get the lockers to lock but it was difficult to determine he exact speed. My guess is that it was around or maybe lightly above 5 mph. The actuator checks out fine.

I will check the lockers in the am.

I topped up the brake fluid, no change. I jumpered the diagnostic pins per the FSM and it gives a 'normal' code. Really fast flashes. I checked the resistance of 2 of the pins on the actuator and they are 6.7 ohms (greater than 4.2 ohms). I checked the stop light fuse, it is ok. I unplugged...

Yes, I did this before and after replacing the sensor. It still does not flash over 25 mph.

I have posted about ths in another thread but think this is worthy of its own thread. Background: new head gasket, heater hoses, supercharger. No cruise afterwards. I traded my 71 FJ40 for having ths work done at a friends shop. Diagnoses to date: ran cruise diagnosis, everything checks...
