Double O’ Taco Build Thread

I took my two bad Y pipes and made one good one.
I am going to order a v band clamp for the end of it

 

Can I splice in some extra wire into the upstream o2 from the 4Runner and use it, my old one came apart taking it out

I was just lookin at another thread and it said something about a VSS change for bigger tires so does anyone know what one I would need after going from 31’s to 275/65r18 with 4:10’s

 

This might be what you're looking for

Not sure how different it is with your 4.10's vs his 4.88s though

 

Another question for you guys, is the temp sender at the rear of the intake for the temp gauge as it had a single spade on it and nearby connector has a double spade female end.
How do I connect the two.

 

Or do I just go back to my temp sender and mechanical gauge located in the upper radiator hose.

 

Okay update I fixed my temp gauge, I didn’t know that the 2pin connector had a single large spade connector in the back of it so after I plugged it in my gauge works.
I thought that connector was for an option I didn’t have.

 

Heh my new motor identifies as a hemi… Tick tick tick tick tick…

 

Maybe I should have looked at the rod bearings when I had the motor apart

 

Okay I have ordered enginetech rod main and thrust bearings for a combined total of $43 and I’m just gonna roll them in with the motor still in the truck.

 

There’s a video of the knock.

Is this exactly what I need for my upstream o2 for my truck?
I just want to make sure before I buy it as I want to put it in when I roll in the new bearings

 

Heh I just bought a flip up gooseneck hitch for $20 and I’m gonna put it in my truck.

 

yesterday I also got the rear wheels on and I am now just waiting for the front adapters to get finished.

 

Where are the best points to triangulate the hitch to the frame with the 1/2” thick caterpillar d9 bulldozer skid plates I’m going to attach it with.

 

Front or rear?

 

It’s a gooseneck ball going above the rear end above the frame to accommodate for the 1 inch body lift.

 

Can somebody tell me the best brand of o2 sensor to buy for the upstream on my truck as I know that most aftermarket ones are garbage.

 

Denso, don't get it from eBay or Amazon, they're often fake
