HUGE shout out to Brian (BFA)
He's a great guy if you haven't met him yet,
and this project wouldn't have gone half as well or even been possible without his help.

 

Very nice soon to be 4x4 prerunner!

 

I havent met him yet, mostly because ive been in Yuma all summer and havent been able to hang out with any of you guys. He sounds like a hell of a guy if he's helping you out with your big project. Props!!

sweet dude! yeah brians a great guy, he helps everyone! including me lol

dude this thing is sweet! im stoked for you!

 

Ran into some problems today after installation.



Today Me, brian, and robert rented a bay with a lift and installed the transmission succesfully in good time, the tranny jack, lift and air tools the shop had made 200%percent difference in the labor.

And the transmission/ transfer case has full operating range, P R N D 2 1, and the 4hi and lo all engage.
the only problem is the t case (j shifter ) does not have a speed sensor either, so I tried to drive it home without it, and the truck drove fine the parking lot, but when I went on the main road and slowly accelerated, it shifted a little clunkily into 2nd then 3rd.... and wouldn't shift any higher, it just rev'd up in third gear. so I thought it might be cause of the speed sensor, so I called the local transmission shop who has have been extremely helpful to me for this project, I have been calling and asking questions, and I called him and told him all of the symptoms
and that I didn't have a speed sensor, he said that he believes it is the cause and because the computer
doesn't know how fast I'm going it won't shift into overdrive.. and he thinks if I can get a speed sensor
it should fix the problems...


I'm hoping that will be the solution and I'm trying to not let myself get stressed about it yet but my truck isn't driveable...



also I have a few other strange symptons, nothing on the dash seems to work I know the RPMs and MPH
is because of the speed sensor, but the engine temp needle doesn't do anything either? and also the RR DIFF LOCK light is on and i don't have the TRD never even knew I had the light... and the ECT power button doesn't work either..

 

Ill be calling around today, anyone know of anywhere I could call for a speed sensor?

 

Ok Napa luckily had one in stock and it was about a hundred dollars cheaper
than what the dealer wanted, but unfortunatley napa or nyone else sells the speed sensor with the gear and pin thing in it, so I have to buy one separately from the dealer, I think its only 30 though.. but
they are a special order so i have to figure out how many teeth I need, 31, 32, 33
and call him up by monday to get the order in, I think he said it will be in tuesday on the phone, forgot to ask when I went in in person.

 

fuck your automatic..


































jk but not really jk i still hate autos lol but no problem dude lemme know when you get your speed sensor and im pretty positive it will solve all your problems

 

The anticipation is killing me!
