    I almost wanted to leave and work Toyota just to get employee discount on supercharger... On another note, found Pepperoncini Coors Light this weekend after drinking a bottle of Jameson and a bottle of Honey Jack. Pretty life changing.

    F THIS LOW ELEVATION!!!


    so I decided my sensor broke after being tripped by the elevation and having a knock problem. 2.2 pulley and URD 7th injector does not fix it, I actually have no clue as to when the motor is having problems...

    So I drove the truck home from Gregs place this after noon with no problems until I turned down our street and boom the light came on. F ME! I waited a few hours cleared the check engine light and went on another test drive, CEL came on again but I think it's just because I'm at so low elevation and using a small pulley that the motor is actually indeed knocking and tripping the code. - not good.

    So now even tho the CEL comes on the truck does not go info limp mode anymore, Just the light is on and it hauls like a mo fo. If you want to live here you need a water meth kit to help with intake temps and pre destination from 1psi on up.

    THANKS FOR YOUR HELP GREG!!! U da man!

    Have you eliminated the knock sensor as the problem?How's about the injectors? Did you look at the plugs and compare them to one another? Are the plugs in the correct heat range?

    I have not. But I am sure it's not them anymore. I am sure they are working

    No clue about injectors.

    Plugs are the denso ik22 ones everyone recommends. I pulled cyl 4 and 6. Number 6 was white. Iirc. It was late at night when I looked and was a little concerned.

    If I lived here I would do a water meth and maybe a colder t stat. Probably the trd 160 instead of the stant 170.

    Before I went this route, I'd test the stuff the error code is telling me is wrong.

    Great weekend exploring the Eastern Sierras. Made our way up to Funnel Lake.

    52AA7117-F693-4DF8-B600-583D6DBBB394_zps_ddcdd239c3cca8050aef019c20bf959abd8d0ba6.jpg

    The elevation was a factor in our sleep patterns. My wife and I both didn't like the headaches. However, we totally loved the location and the remoteness. Funnel lake appears to be a destination for the folks of gun persuasions as the entire shoreline of the lake is coated with casings of all sizes. Please, if you love your guns and you love your mountains, treat them equally.

    There were lots of atv's out there. Met a fella with a fully outfitted FJ cruiser. Nice guy(name was nick I believe) and super cool setup.

    We explored a lot and found most of the lakes are no longer. Our dogs loved the dry lake beds as they thought they had their own private race track to tear around. Coyote Creek was running but was low.

    The trails are all pretty easy going. Lots of high elevation ash/sand and some granite. The last mile to Funnel Lake is rocky but nothing that requires any type of armour.

    We didn't see much of wildlife but at night the coyotes were active.
