If you can drop the trans oil pan in your garage/drive way, my recommendation is that: Stage 1: Replace all solenoids with Rostra. Stage 2: If the issue still there, buy a new VB. Replace solenoids is a easy DIY project, but VB is much harder and heavier, at least need someone to help you...

@StriderWolf Thanks for asking. 1. After changed Valve body(Toyota) and S3/SLT solenoids(Toyota), the code P2714 and P0761 still showed up. But shifting totally fine. 2. I replaced the rest of solenoids by myself, 7 out of 9. Using Rostra instead of OEM, cost $500 for 7 solenoids. With all new...

Considering long-distance reliability, the starter and alternator can be replaced. It is not too late to deal with other components when problems arise.

I have a 2021 and a 2023 Sequoia, having sold the 2021. I also have a 2008 LX570. But I've always had a soft spot for the 4Runner. It's not as big as the Sequoia, nor as luxurious as the LX570. But these aren't the 4Runner's core values. Less is more, with the indestructible A750 transmission...

Before cleaning, the switch wouldn't turn on when held up by hand. CDL position before install the motor: H4/L4 position before install motor: After reinstalling it, it's amazing. It used to take 5-10 seconds to turn on, and sometimes it would get stuck. Now it turns on in 1-2 seconds.

Thank you very much for sharing the tutorial and pictures. I successfully repaired my 2008 LX570 this afternoon. I simply cleaned it and reinstalled it without modifying the metal contacts. I think as long as the contact is good, there should be no problem. One thing which you need to be...

1. New oil pan hold extra 5qt oil when temp reach 90C(running temp) 5qt will bt 5.27 qt. Seems not a big deal. 2. If you gonna replace some solenoids, choose ROSTRA, it's much cheap. And usually there will more than one solenoid worn out. I suggest you change all solenoid at once, with Rostra...

I replaced the valve body and two solenoids and now almost two months later everything is working fine. https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/fixed-p2714-on-08-lx-570-probably-dealer-put-the-wrong-trans-oil-filter.1333190/page-2#post-15921160

The transmission works great, no issue anymore. To summarize, from the perspective of time and money, the latest practice order is: 1. Transmission Fluid Replacement (Lowest Cost, Easiest to Perform) Replace the transmission fluid. This is the simplest and most cost-effective operation...

I would like to update you with the latest progress and hope I did not disturb you. After using a brand new VB, P2714, P0761 still appeared after several weeks. So, I found the Landcruiser Specialist, Shawn listened to me very patiently and described the whole process. Then I put the truck...

Don't buy credit card keys from eBay. You need the Virgin(unlocked) key from Toyota dealer. The first time I got one from eBay, cost me $100, it's s***, didn't work at all, just waste me time. Used ones usually were programed before, someone can unlock it, but I didn't find anyone can unlock...

For the latest Toyotas, the Techstream will ask you for the Pass-Code Number when register new smart keys. It's easy for a Lock Smith to get the code, try facebook etc. to find one. The pic below is the Smith I reached. I tried twice, he charged me $35 and $15 for the second time.

The existing fob key: ------------------------------ FCCID: HYQ14FBX. IC: 1551A-14FBX DENSO Model: 14FBX New credit card key: ------------------------ FCC ID: HYQ14CBP IC: 1551A-14CBP DENSO Model: 14CBP

I saw this thread couple of weeks ago. And tried by myself, everything works great! My rig is 23 Sequoia Hybrid. 1. Buy OEM Virgin Key from Toyota dealer. I got it from OurismanToyotaOfRichmond. Cost: $213.57. 2. Buy VCI J2534 Cable from eBay, cost: $22.00 3. Install Toyota Techstream...
