    Working in progress.
    What’s good fam?

    I just want to share this problem I had lately after going through a long block rebuild on 5VZ-FE 3.4 ‘96 Taco after chasing a check engine light for days (P0325, P0330). I finally solve the problem by replacing my old knock sensor which probably an aftermarket ones that’s why they didn’t last. I replace them with new OEM Denso knock sensor, so far so good CEL have not come on the dash, fingers cross.

    Thanks got it done,
    This is a Easy Easy job
    They work great, Great product
    I have a stock suspension so the bumpers are pretty close to frame after installed.

    Did a panic stop and locked up all 4 wheels and the front end did NOT drop down hard the way it used too. Happy camper.
    Now have to do the diff bushings today.

    Jack up one side of truck
    Turn steering wheel all the way to lock position to one side to access REAR bumper stop
    Do NOT have to remove tire
    Do NOT have to remove tie rod parts
    Chanel locks to remove
    Clean
    Loctite glue
    Thread new bumpers on
    Line up the bumper stop in the correct direction
    Thread and torque
    Took 10 minutes per side todo

    Hopefully you replaced the knock sensor wires too OEM while you were in there.
    All that heat in there will sooner or later
    make the plastic fail on the pig tails
