Plugging away. Heads off. 1 bent pushrod, in addition to my broken one. Cylinder 4 and 5. Lifters weren't stuck. Everything else looks fine (Pistons, cylinders, valves, etc). Guessing AFM lifters got sticky at one point and freed up? Over rev? Who knows.

Hauled this precious cargo home for the first time from the NICU after 40 days!   Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

I installed this thingy on the top of my 2017 6.2L. Not really sure what it does, but my truck goes really fast now.

Been pretty busy lately so not much done to the truck. New tires are next on the list before winter flies. Got one last ride in this past weekend though!

Gave my truck a nice thorough wash this morning! Probably one of the last nice days before the cold rolls in, so I wanted to make use of it. ?

Took some things over to my mom's that required the cover folded, so I used the shopvac to clean the bed once back home. Its surprising whatb ends up along the front of the box even with it usually covered.

Periodically research leads me over to forums of other makes/models of trucks. I've seen many Tundra owners mention removing the front sway bar makes for a much more compliant ride with little downside. I guess we'll see! I took mine off tonight. It took about 5 minutes from start to finish including putting my tools away. 

 

Drove around the block because I needed to repark my truck in the driveway, but too soon to give a solid feel for what it did.

I ran across a nice deal on an Undercover Flex bed cover so I ditched the tool box I had before.c17c866a759e1a2bf4099b2ae019a77c.jpg

Got really lucky and caught this number just before I pulled out of the driveway the other day. Hard to believe it's been that far already.

dropped it off at the dealer, been having this issue when it is cold out and first run of the day, after that it only does it random

radio audio cuts out and cluster goes coo-coo, sometimes the hvac cuts off and restarts, then it goes back to normal.

it only does it almost always when it is cold and much less when warmed up so high resistance battery cables doesn't seem to be the problem, battery is new and it did it with the old battery also

battery fuse center is new also and everything is good and tight. starts and drivers perfect every time just the electronics going crazy

dealer is replacing the cluster they seem to think that may be the problem when I took it in they tried to re-program the cluster and it wouldn't program

the cluster, steering wheel and radio are connected thru the most buss so maybe this will fix the issue, well see what happens

got it back from the dealer this morning, so far it appears that replacing the cluster fixed the problems, the problem was sometimes intermittent but it acted fine all day today.

Not today, but yesterday, drained/refilled the diffs, trans, and xfer case.  For those considering a trans pan drop, using a pump to remove as much fluid as possible through the fill tube is a must. Spilled almost none when dropping the pan. Thanks to all who previously mentioned this process.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Yes.   Yes.   We might be intermingling ideas with the term 'severity', in one of my past vehicles it could pull up DTC via the vehicles own user interface, at any given time when one would do this there would be an assortment of codes that were 'trivial' including 'communication' issues. This would generate a bunch of, potentially false alerts or some many that they would get ignored. Which you mentioned earlier.    You also mention several things that might be redundant with the vehicles own systems or indicators: The truck has an oil pressure gauge, monitoring it via this other system wouldn't be a priority except in comparison to other values or if there is an actual oil pressure problem.   Same thing for miss-fires or other problems, the MIL already signals the operator to an issue...   ...to the point about what one wants to see first, if there is a miss fire detected, I want to see miss fire counts or fuel trims first, if I have an oil pressure problem I want to see the oil pressure first. So, perhaps the 'systems' that are showing abnormalities are what gets displayed first.   I think your device is what connects at the OBD port, ease of use for the consumer, it could still have a 'pass-through' port for a second scanner, computer, etc.   Yes.   Based on my comment above, if an error appears, the report would be more specific to the system having an error.

      I like the idea.  I thought about putting a deposit a few years ago when they first dropped.  I still want to drive one and have inquired about doing this with them, like a ride and drive event they said they are coming but it hasnt happened even with them built in Indiana.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      That's a tough spot to be in, I personally would question spending 1/2 the book value on a repair vs. selling it as-is.    Presuming you own it out right, sell it for 10k and have a down payment for a replacement truck, or spend 10k on the one you already have...   I still think there is a cheaper transmission out there via recyclers, aftermarket or rebuild. (Cheaper than 5k for the unit)

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Sadly, there's a drought of good 92-95 4.3 cars at junkyards in the area otherwise I would have gone fishing for parts. Not that they don't come up, there's just nothing good in the yards right now.   I tore into the intake yesterday evening, easier than I thought, and I might have this problem licked for cheap. Two of the intake studs came up with the bolt on removal, no big deal but that's why it looks funny with studs only on one side.   There's pooled gas on both sides of the plenum. Highlights boxed in green. Picture-right side has an obviously split pressure line from rubbing on the #5 injector nylon line. #5's line is worn in that spot but not all the way through. Passenger side intake (picture left), not sure, but I think the pressure regulator is hosed. Rebuilt spiders don't come with the pressure and return hoses so I'll need to replace those no matter what. A pressure regulator is $30 so I'll try that and if I end up having to swap the whole spider, it was $30. I'll be grinning ear to ear if that's all I need.   Parts arrive Tuesday.   Sure enough the shop was here before. That's a new gasket. Vacuum lines and wiring are a tangled mess, I sorted that out last night as well. Spent about an hour just picking up general slack and shoddy reassembly around the engine bay. Cheek-pokered the battery tray, got it all cleaned up. Sometimes things just need a little elbow grease and a few minutes of time to be right again.
