    NC (atleast my city) used to be big on recycling. Until they had massive warehouses full of recyclable goods without anyone to buy it/process it. Now the city is very strict on what can go in the recyclables bin.

    Recycling anything is a very expensive process. Why would a manufacturer pay more money to use material that they have to spend more time on processing then they would new material? Its a simple business decision to make your product from new raw material instead.

    Blew off the new IC pipe and blacked out an intersection on the highway :bananadead:

    Put it back on on the shoulder of the highway, then limped the truck home, cleaned everything with brake cleaner, and put it back together with hair spray for extra fit
    :fingerscrossed:

    Here’s where I’m at on the skipping issue.
    Fuel Pressure is at 47psi
    Compression is:
    Cyl 1 @190psi
    Cyl 2@180psi
    Cyl 3@175psi
    Cyl4@180psi
    On top of all the new goodies.

    Leaves me to one thing....maybe clogged injector(s)??????

    Dude at the exhaust shop I went to was a lazy prick, I pulled it off the lift and left. Didn't wanna take the time to do it right, glad I didn't cancel my appt with my regular guy, he's worth the wait.

    Was almost acting like he can't make his own hangers or bend pipes. Just said the muffler is too big... It's physically smaller than stock and the only real hurdle is the inlet is centered instead of offset

    If I had the tools to bend my own pipe I'd just do it myself chances are I weld better than that bum anyway. Actually about to weld right now

    I've done the PS3. It's probably your hard drive in it failing. That's the only moving part other than fans. Guess it could be one of the fan bearings going bad too. Lots of youtube vids on how to open them.

    Oil/filter change and finally did the t-case fluid on the 4runner. Made sure the 4wd and center diff lock solenoids were still working after. All is good. Hopefully the Lucas 75w-90 gear oil helps still the minor leaking of the t-case. I think working the 4wd/diff lock solenoids is helping too by keeping the seals lubricated. Someday I'll swap in a FJ t-case that has actual shifters and not worry about the stupid solenoids again.

    If you can access the back usually you can peel a sticker off and expose a bearing. A drop of oil would do it.


    I've kept fans running that way
