Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

Had to drop my truck off to the stealership today for some agreed upon work.

They gave me a 4cyl base 2019 taco with 3,000 miles on it as a rental.

Where da power at doe

 

The power is in the Prius that was parked next to your rental.

 

Seeing this reminded me about something, so I posted it in the Lunchtable thread -

 

You should ask @tyfoon11 to pull out

 

I have the Da Bomb and 357. Both hot, but Da Bomb just tastes bad. I want to try some of Blairs stuff soon.

Always have to listen to that discover weekly

My report on the Rubicon stated no serious damage. However, in the parking lot airing up, and once in 2 WD, I had dash lights illuminated. The Traction light, and the ABS light. Since I needed to take the truck in for it's 50,000 mile check up, I waited thinking I just needed to have the codes cleared. It had happened before. was hoping for the best. I have an extended Service Contract, so let them do their thing. Had the oil and filters changed. Spark plugs replaced. The usual stuff a Stealership does. So, I walk out of the Stealership less $190.88 lighter in the pocketbook. I was told the tech ran the codes. Cleared the codes. Fired up the truck, maybe drove the truck, and the lights came back on. Codes C1404 and C1406. Stating their is either an open circuit for short, in the Speed Sensor Circuit.

OK. But, they don't have the part. The part is $297.84 and the labor would be another $190.88. Holy shit, is that the new hourly labor rate now? IF I want them to fix it I have to bring the truck in again. Bah. Thanks, but no thanks.

 

I'll check them out. Are you happy with them?

 

Drifter got a pretty damn good review. I like it. Way to go everyone at VO

 

What part is bad?

 

What a read

 

They are calling it the 'Right Front Wheel Speed Sensor'. Part number 89542-04020

 

They're not too hard to rebuild, just a little messy and having access to a parts cleaner really helps. I haven't rebuilt 2nd gen tacoma axles but I've rebuilt a handful of 3rd gen T4R axles and some volvo axles. Procedure is about the same for all of them.

 

Yeah, it seems I severed the left side a while back, probably due to what you describe; too tight on the zip tie. I haven't crawled under there yet, but suspect this is the case again. And after the Rubicon, very likely the droop got me.

Thanks.

 

Ya I'm very happy with them. I did the high angle boots on the inner and some cheaper on the outer. Shitty part was the cost of shipping back the cores but that was partially my fault because I used UPS.

Oh and dont forget your new seals and ecgs bushing while your in there

 

Nice. They look good. What did the run you for both??
