After smoke testing my engine, I found a pretty substantial leak from the front of the lower intake plenum, right where the vacuum actuator turns the rod that all the butterfly valves are attached to. I found that squirting some carb cleaner in the area the smoke came from caused the engine to...

Also.... I had a cracked driver's side exhaust manifold... replaced it and that did not resolve the p0171/74 issue. Didn't expect it to, but just confirming that it didn't fix it.... but I knew it needed to be fixed. I got the part from the dealer, they had it for me to pick up in less than a...

I also am having p0171 and sometimes p0174 on my 03. I did a smoke test today and found that I'm getting leaks coming from the area of the valve that opens/closes the butterfly valves in the intake plenum. Sadly, there doesn't appear to be a replacement part for this short of the entire lower...

I think by the 4wd system breaking, they are talking about the super select flashing lights. The actual 4wd engagement is mechanical when you move the lever..... not much to it to break. Sent from my SM-P580 using Tapatalk

Do you have any kind of obd2 reader plugged in all the time? I noticed that with my ultra gauge plugged in, the DTE stays pegged up at 400+ all the time. I'm not too worried as I use the ultra gauge to get the same feature and many more. And... I've never seen 400 miles on a tank

was not 44" wide... I probably added 6-8 inches in the middle

sounds very similar to when my fuel pump needed to be replaced in my 03. Carry a rubber mallet around, next time it won't start, go back rap on the underside of the gas tank while someone is turning it over. Replaced the fuel pump with one from autozone and haven't had a problem starting...

Ahhh.. there is a purpose behind the rear wheel lights.... when the traction control kicks in and does it's thing... it will flash the wheel that is loosing traction :-) Had the exact same problem in my '03 4wd functions do not work when the center orange is flashing (if you test this, be...

Turned out really great! I took the ATV ramp, cut it at the center hinge (it folded over onto itself in half), and added aluminum pieces in between, as well as two bigger aluminum supports that attach to the Garvin roof rack feet. I can stand on the rack in the middle and get very little flex...

Gen 2.... Right now it's just in the cargo area. I think on the get 3 there is room on the passenger side under the hood. Not on the gen2 though

There is a good thread in the solar section of expo with a similar write-up (with links to some products) to making a quick and dirty dual battery setup. I did it this weekend. Tip: You can tap into the wiper motor for acc-switched power to activate your solenoid. I want to wire in a master...

I use a non-wratcheting wrench to get the passenger cam right on the timing mark. it should rest there, but will slip off and spin with a lot of force. I also turn the crank back (counter clock wise) about 1 tooth, that way when you rotate clockwise, all the slack between the driver's side cam...

tie rods aren't something I read about failing..... but not as familiar with gen 1

It could be that the CV shaft came out and then back in. There is a know issue with earlier gen 3s, where the circlip isn't quite big enough and the shaft can slip out. Happened to me once while wife driving around town. We did live at a place with a really steep driveway, depending on the...

Same thing happened to my 03. Wouldn't start one morning for my wife, started just fine for me later that day. 2 weeks later, stranded in the Home Depot parking lot. AAA guy hit the underside of the fuel tank with a rubber mallet while I turned it over. Started right up. Replaced the fuel pump...

Sorry, I assumed you were talking about the front axle. Are gen 2.5s not common at scrapyards? The lkq near me seems to drop in off every so often. Can you put in the gen 2.0 axle and not have abs for a while until you source the right axle?

do you have any photos or images of what you're talking about.... I'm pretty sure that on the driver's side the CV joint assembly has the axle as part of the assembly... on the passenger's side there is an axle with a flat flange that the passenger CV assembly bolts to. I pulled the front end...

When it won't start. Take a rubber mallet and ********** the underside of the fuel tank.... If it starts right back up, probably your fuel pump. That's what the AAA guy did and it was enough to get me home from the home depot parking lot.

same thing here... if you spin it enough, you'll burn through the plastic foot and the rack will come off, making it really easy to pinch the rivnut (nutsert) with pliers. You might also be able to pull up on the rack while you loosen the nut to help put pressure. I taped off about a 1.5"...

Look into an ultra gauge, it's a full time obd2 device that gives you a slew of gauges as well as being a code reader. Price is around 65. Also, check out https://www.maperformance.com for the trans fluid 7.04/qt. Jus flushed my 99. Wise to pick up a full case and have extra vs being short a...
