Well.... turns out the links above are no longer carb compliant. The executive order D-280-85 was rescinded in 2013 https://arb.ca.gov/msprog/aftermkt/devices/eo/d-280-85.pdf So much for my source for an aftermarket converter.... Sent from my SM-P580 using Tapatalk

I suppose the other thing I will need to know is if the picture you send is from a California emissions vehicle or a federal elastics p emissions equipped. I have a federal vehicle, and am wondering if the flanges are reversed to make it more difficult to bolt a federal contender on to a...

Can someone with a Gen 2 1997 take a picture of the catalytic converter as wide as you can to get as much of the exhaust system as possible, and measure the length of the catalytic converter from one flange to the other. I have a 99 and I would like to know if this bolt in option for a...

Yeah.. I have no clue.... the gross vehicle weight went up on that test... was thinking that was what might have impacted it..... Denatured is my next approach. Also, the purpose of the thread isn't to fix my smog problem, it is to share data so that other users know what ranges other...

There should only be a rear cam seal on the passenger side... the driver's side has some sensor things in the hole. I ordered what I thought was the correct seal for my 03, but then realized it was the wrong one... so I kept the existing o-ring in place and lathered up the face of the surfaces...

I'm having difficulty passing smog. I'm JUST passing on the 15 mph test, and am failing on the 25 mph test. The conspiracy theorist in me wants to think that CA is making it more and more difficult to pass smog, such that a well running vehicle that is a little older will slowly be squeezed out...

Still no luck figuring this out. I tapped into the wiring harness that goes between the TCM and the transmission. There is a connection below the radio. When the trans slips out of 4th, the TCM is sending voltage to the solenoid that engages 3rd.... all of that to say, the trans isn't going...

your 4wd shift solenoids are probably out.... it's about 20-30 for a set of replacements. car will work and go into 4wd just fine without fixing.... shifting into 4wd is a mechanical engagement actuated by the lever in the cab.... this is different from Gen 3s where it's all electronic and the...

Was common on the 2. I was going to do a cluster swap in mine to get the incline, but the back busted out and it won't hold fluid.... Haven't gotten around to fixing.

I kind of feel the same.... But they are cheap, and so far the fixes are cheap-ish too. I've also replaced the fuel pump in my 03.

A couple of years ago. Wife drives it. I got it because of the engine similarities with the Gen 2.5, which I know how to wrench on.... and they are pretty cheap. In retrospect there are quite a bit of differences outside of the engine.... The Gen 2.5 feels less likely to fail from an...

If I recall correctly, they just made the clips bigger and/or the spot they slot into on the shafts bigger... is that about right? Sent from my SM-P580 using Tapatalk

The butterfly valves help the engine produce better power a low or high rpm.... longer intake runner is better than at one range or rpm and short are better at other rpm. So having the valves is a plus. When you go to the smog check place, they are going to do a visual inspection, if they see...

What part of town do you live in? The gear shifter is an easy swap, and will make a big difference in shift ability. I did a boot replace on my cv shafts.... most difficult part was figuring out how to disassemble. Gen 2 and 2.5 passenger mounting flanges are not compitable. The bold patterns...

What happened to the clip? I've got an 03 and the axle slipped out of the diff a couple of years ago. After some research I found that this is a common problem that they corrected in 05 and later. When I had my axle pulled out, I gave a little tweak to the clip so that it was just a little...

Unfortunately the Toyota HBB unit is virtually the same price.... Didn't check to see if Toyota sells the motor only. I'm sure they do. I came across a post where someones Land cruiser broke down and he had to replace the HBB unit. The motor is poorly built for something so mission critical...

Have you priced the y pipe? I think I'll need a similar part fairly soon...

If you have a Gen3, I'm pretty confident that unless the motor has been replaced, this is a problem that could pop up at any moment for you. I've got 166k miles on my 03. Summary: Hydraulic Brake Boosters commonly fail on Gen 3s. It's likely the motor, but could be the accumulator. You can find...

Are the connectors the same? Perhaps the crank sensor connector is plugged into the cam sensor? Strange that it idled good with those error though.

***update Drove around in the SoCal rain over the weekend, totally lost overdrive for a couple of days. After a 40 minute drive home I crawled underneath, tapped on the trans temp sensor a little, and noticed that on the connector on the other side of the transmission looked like it had some...
