I thought about what you would say if you saw the interior ripped apart earlier tonight with close to 24 hours left. I don’t recommend relocating the camera and lp light wiring unless it’s absolutely necessary.

Well I am in Durango disconnecting the battery to clear CEL codes for the stupid emissions system that doesn’t like full fuel tanks with warm temps and high altitudes lol. Stupid fail safes, nothing like not being able to use cruise control because the charcoal canister throws a code for vapors.

I figured we wouldn’t have that issue since it’s cooler than it is here. Guess I was wrong and will probably be dealing with that as well.
It was 96F here in Durango today, not much cooler than back home. Of course it's a very different kind of heat here and feels more like 80-85F back home. I don't understand the crap emissions systems on these vehicles, this shouldn't be a thing and it's sad that it's somewhat of an achilles for vehicles that most like to use at altitude in the summer months lol.
When we go to altitude we fill the main then fill aux 50% and then leave everything at 50% until the truck and gas get happy. Altitude and aux tanks = burping gas lol

So the trip to Ouray didn’t come without issues. I keep getting a burning oil smell that’s pretty noticeable. I’ve looked it over from above and haven’t noticed any leaks. Also the transmission keeps wanting to stay at 3-5k rpm’s at 60+mph. Hoping the latter is just due to stock gears with the additional weight and not being 100ft above sea level. Brakes got super hard until about halfway back to Cloudcroft tonight so I’m thinking I’ve got a caliper sticking. Of course they announced Imogene opened early about an hour after we left.

100 series would do that frequently due to bad gas tank cap. If you crack the cap, did gas come spraying out?
No but the vapors were bad, you could smell it in the cab, fuel running down the side of the truck of the truck as well. I had to disconnect the battery multiple times to clear the code. I never filled up past 5/8 of a tank in an attempt to help matters but it didn't seem to help, I guess the canister stayed saturated. It definitely left a mark on my opinion of the vehicle, absolutely an achilles heel for these trucks and completely unacceptable.

I don't think it's a GX specific issue. Here's more reading than you'll ever want to do. See if the symptoms match yours?
Gas tank building excessive pressure & fuel smell. Dangerous for sure! Why does this happen?
DANGEROUS GAS PRESSURE BUILD UP IN GAS TANK! Why? What's going on? How can we fix this? Edited 3/15/25: Since first posting this thread. I've corrected many boiling fuel. By working in this order: Coolant system if first on the list, must be operating as designed. Which radiator fins cleaning...

Yeah I’ve heard of it happening with all kinds of vehicles. I personally didn’t have that issue, but I just kept mine between 3/4 and full.I don't think it's a GX specific issue. Here's more reading than you'll ever want to do. See if the symptoms match yours?

Trying to track down leakage from something underneath. Stopped for food at about 3am in San Antonio and the entire rear half of the car was covered in fluid. Just washed everything underneath and waiting to see what it looks like after it dries.

What are you running for skids?

Stock except the very front skid for the engine which is a victory aluminum

Cleaned up everything underneath to try and pinpoint where the unknown fluid was coming from and now everything is dry and I haven’t seen anything leak since. I’m guessing the magnesium chloride that was in the dirt was pulling moisture from the air and the fact that I tried washing some of it off the night before those photos made it look like there was a bad leak somewhere.
I did have this pop up when leaving work last Thursday night. Code came back as C1405 which is a bad abs sensor on the front passenger side. Drove to Houston and paid $315 for a sensor only for it to not fix the issue. Ordered a new abs wire from bell lexus along with a few other things I need. With their service and prices I think I found where I’ll be ordering all my oem parts from. Hopefully the wire fixes it.

Check your wheel bearing. If the bearing is bad the ABS tone ring will read incorrectly and through that code.

Don’t you put that bad juju on me Washingtontaco lol. Didn’t feel like dropping another $300 just yet, but if the wire doesn’t fix it a new hub assembly is next.
This is exactly what my business partner did of course spending money on new parts that didn't fix the issue was step one.

Well it’s already been ordered and it was cheap enough that if it’s not the problem it won’t be a big deal. I was already planning to order a couple hub assemblies from one of the vendors anyway for spares so I’ll just have to do it sooner.This is exactly what my business partner did of course spending money on new parts that didn't fix the issue was step one.

@Washingtontaco would the tone ring also need to be replaced or does it just get off center due to the bearing and cause the code?
Should be part of the assembly.
