    I did post this elsewhere but maybe you guys could help.
    I opened up the controller box on my x20 and I have a random green wire. I'm not sure were it goes.
    Any suggestions ? I'm wondering if it might be the antenna for the wireless controller??

    Hmm.. put new injectors in a 3.4 because of a leaky injector. Drives fine. Runs rich. Threw p0172... clean the maf.

    Code comes back in 15 miles.

    Looks like I have a different issue now. Oh well. Back to the drawing board... break out the manual tomorrow and start probing. Fuel trims are -27 long term. She’s runing a we bit fat

    thats one thing im thinking. im going to mess with it. i dont see why it would be though. ive plenty of injectors on 3.4s before.. never had an issue like this. worst comes to worst i just start swaping my good parts on to figure out what it is lol

    It kind of looks like it prolapsed trying to pass a tire, but somehow it still looks cool.

    Can someone with a 98 show me where the horn wire comes from. Previous owner ditched the steering wheel and installed a removable racing steering wheel also cut up the front end to do a 1 piece tundra fiberglass clip and removed the horn. From searches I'm guessing it's a black wire on the passenger side but I cant find a single unplugged black wire

    So this week my trucks throw out bearing is squeaking when I push the pedal in.
    It comes and goes.

    I replaced the clutch and everything 100,000 miles ago and typically I’m getting 250,000
    miles on each of my clutches.
    I don’t really want to spend 5 hours pulling the transmission for just a throw out bearing.
    can I lube the bearing some how

    Is there any way to grease or lube the throwout bearing when the transmission is on the truck?

    There is no way to reach it and it is a sealed bearing anyway, non serviceable. You might be able to look at it through the fork hole, but that's about it
