    Traded my 1988 for a 98 2.7 manual exterior green 4wd. I was just to tall for the regular cab. This is my second generation 1 truck. My son totaled out my 2001 4 door that had the 3.4. It has two active codes P0420 and P0120. I dealt with the P0420 code with my first one. I’m going clean the throttle body, change out the TPS, change plugs, plug wires and check the valves. Then after I get that taken care of I will clean the oxygen sensor or replace to see why that code is being thrown.

    When I had my frame done I used Bosch Toyota south all online and shipped.
    Got a recent e-mail saying they are part of the Nucar family now.
    Not sure how they are now but back then dealer couldn’t even come close to prices.
