Rod knocking after pulling trailer up steep hill

Ah, okay. Thanks for the details. Didn't know you purchased the used engine with eyes wide open and only for $1k. But wow that was quite the mess to sort out. And yes, @Vlady with superb support. These threads with members offering concrete support are what make TW legendary IMO.

 

Can anyone produce a parts # for an OEM high pressure fuel rail sensor ? It was mentioned in thread but couldn’t locate the part. I have a P1903 code, hoping replacing sensor clears it.

 

You have to replace the entire fuel pipe assembly If go OEM.

Could you confirm the code?

 

P0193 I’m sorry

 

Fuel rail pressure sensor circuit High input

 

The harness to the sensor most likely is damaged. Have to repair the wiring

 

I have a pile of parts from one of the motor donors if you find you need something I have in the shop let me know. BTW, truck still running great!

 

I owe you an apology, I kinda ran my mouth about you not maintaining the original engine either way what you accomplished was a monumental task with more patience than anyone I know. My apologies great job!

 

Well a half-done truck is a lot like not having a truck, so unless it's finished, no one could do anything with it, and no one else wants it either. Just had to muscle through, now it runs great and no truck payments.

Just had another mechanic try to screw me when I took a Mercedes to him, yet another reason to keep wrenching - avoid getting screwed. Pro tip: If the mechanic doesn't have a scanner than will work with your vehicle, don't let them talk you into experimenting on the shop clock. I think most mechanics rely on the average customer being dumb as a bag of hammers and just screwing them. Don't let that happen with your Taco, you can do it!

 

Vlady-
My first thought was a damaged wire harness instead of sensor. I had a mechanic run tests and clear the code. According to him it’s fine, I’ve been driving it for a couple days with no issues.
My question seems to be should I be concerned about this moving forward given that there’s no performance issues? surely it happened once so it’ll most likely happen again.

Thanks in advance for any advice

Based on TW history, there is a slight chance of the actual sensor failure. Most cases are either a damage to the wire or improper connection. There were a few cases where ECU circuit failed and the issue was resolved by replacing ECU.
I would try to look under intake with a camera to see to rule out of mice activities.

 

Great to hear. Was an epic thread.
