Because We're Not North Enough To Be NOVA, We're Just Stuck Between the North and the True South

Doing ok, you?

Are you sure she isn't talking about her girlfriend? Boy don't know how to change oil wouldn't be getting his dipstick anywhere near my family members.

 

He's a Cop and works the nightshift. Got off late and hit the bed. My oldest daughter wanted to get it done and learn something at the same time.. So I showed her how.

Pretty cool though. in her younger days, I couldn't get her to even care when working on my junk that she was driving... Now (out on her own), She wants to do it her self. She told me today that she had just changed the oil in her Harley a few weeks ago. Right on, Kiddo!

 

Evening all.

Enjoying this here night with doggie.

 

Well I waited and waited for you to come do the rear brakes, but you never showed so I went on and did them myself. So, no fun for you...

Good looking pupper you got there.

 

I did my fronts yesterday. Powerstop Z36 rotors and pads.

Justin, did you get a set of LCAs in to gusset and rebuild? If not, no biggie, I'm probably just going to order a new set with new cam bolts from Toyota with my discount

 

Yes sir, got a set in either Tuesday or Wednesday. Honestly can't remember... been a rough past month or so. Sorry for not reaching out yet, haven't even taken them out of the box yet.

 

Awesome. PMing you.

 

Ha ha. Yeah, I musta missed the txt with the addy. That said, I haven't done drum brakes in God knows how long.

Thanks.. She's a Boxer mix rescue.

 

That's cuz I missed the pm with a number to text...

 

Dammit man! I can't make this your fault for nothing.

Have a good one, Justin.

 

Well boys got ole girl back Friday. We are officially back in action with a new voodoo bed rack as well. Also it Installed some molle panels on the center console. And ordered a whole new rear suspension set up that should be on the truck by Saturday!

 

I will say tho I am sad to have to turn in my rental they gave me while the truck was being fixed... 2019 Trd off-road had 6miles when i got it took it back with almost 3k miles lol. Even gave it a proper break in with a trip to Portsmouth island on Memorial Day weekend. Made sure the 4wd crawl control and locking diff worked properly for them

 

I know its a little early to say this...but made my week hearing you got her back! I was def pretty bummed when you got rear ended on your post. Looks good!

 

What can I say, I'm a slippery one...


You do the same Bill!

 

Hey. A question for you fart smellers. Uh, I mean smart fellers.

I had my entire lower dashboard torn out last week to redo some wiring of mine. It's all back together now but my airbag light is one. It's entirely possible that I unplugged something. Any thoughts?

 

Did you forget to plug in your clock/hazard flasher? I know my airbag light was on when I didn't have it installed for a few days when I was doing my radio install. Other than that, I'm not sure. I think the airbag computer is on the floor under the radio and I can't think of any other plugs that handle the airbags. At least not from tearing apart the dash in my truck.

 

ABS is not "air bag system", it's "anti-lock brake system"
Air bags are actually SRS, which is for "Supplemental Restraint System"....and yes the computer for the SRS is on the driveshaft hump behind the dash.
@Salty_Dog did you unplug any yellow plugs or the SRS control box/computer? Did you unbolt any grounds? If so, check the torque on those 10mm ground bolts...and make sure you used the original bolts for those grounds. They are different than normal 10mm bolts as they have teeth in the threads to ensure contact

 

@Salty_Dog Also you should know that once the air bag light is on, the reason for malfunction is stored in the SRS computer. It will have to be cleared by a special scan tool in order to make the light go off

 

You talking about an ODBII scanner? I tried that and it showed no codes.

 

No, @Salty_Dog a standard OBDII scanner will not pull/show SRS codes. It has to be capable of reading I have an OBDII scanner by C-Reader (CR123) that will show/clear Air Bag SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) Codes & Anti-Lock Brake (ABS) codes. I believe that by 2015 Techstream will show SRS & ABS Codes on a Tacoma. If you can read the codes with Techstream you can clear the DTC's.
