    Hm well provided it didn't get mishandled and was put back in properly then it wouldn't be that. You sure the 4 bolts that hold the TB in place are tight? The intake hose is reattached properly with no leaks?

    I didn’t get it read thinking it would go away after driving it for a while.
    I’ll go tomorrow and report back.

    Does anyone on here have a Power Sunroof?

    I saw an ad for a Double Cab that had one, and it is most definitely aftermarket looking at the controls for it.

    Wondering if this was a dealer option, or some other thing. It’s definitely not OEM, just going off the fact that the OEM one is a simple vent design.

    Nothing wrong with multiple cars. It's called a backup plan, in case one of your other cars break down or a family member needs a loaner car lol

    Could be the lower Heims on the Kings.

    Grab some spray teflon lube and spare the lower heims on the Kings to see if it goes away. Usually means they are almost due for replacement. Only a $6 part and you can DIY pretty easily. But your Kings might be ready for a rebuild anyways so if you want to send them off to get the oil/seals changed you can have the builder do the Heims too.

    Mine are getting bad. have to lube them up every few days now depending on driving conditions.

    Anyone have any idea why the voltage in my truck will randomly spike to 18-19 volts and kick the radio off? Battery light comes on as well.
