What have you done to your 1st gen Tundra today?

My buddy and I changed an o2 sensor

 

I dunno. I’d like to drive it around a little bit to settle in and decide if I want to plop in the AAL or not. Worst case, AAL comes next weekend. Big stuff is done for now tho. EDIT: Grease just arrived at NAPA. Just waiting for my better-3/4 to come home with the car so I can run and grab it.

if you start (or continue) throwing codes, be sure to change the other sensor on that same bank later. I always prefer to change both on same bank when one fails. Sometimes ECU has a hard time adjusting to having one old and one new on a single bank.

 

Putting in work today.

 

Yes it is throwing a code for the other side now, downstream

 

Wait ... it looks like your helper is replacing B2S2 in the picture (passenger's side/Bank2, downstream/S2). You replaced that sensor alone, and now the ECU is complaining about B1S2 (driver side/downstream)?

What was the original code you encountered. What year is the truck, and is it 2WD or 4WD?

 

Not the tundra but still cool. So fuck it

 

Daddy has grease.

​

 

Did you try spitting on it first?

 

Uh fuck yes. You have my permission to post all the best gen taco pics haha

 

Nature's lube!

 

71 degrees outside

 

That there reads like success to me. Best I've ever seen out of an A/C was 37°F and that was with an aftermarket kit in my uncle's 67 C10, 43 would work for me.

 

Perfect thanks for the info

 

Supercharged 5vz

 

Shakedown out of the way. Numbers before lift/before shakedown/after shakedown with post-shakedown pics: https://www.tundras.com/threads/how-big-is-yours-measure-up.46186/page-5#post-3312229

Definitely going to need to come up an inch or a little more in the rear. Will probably install this Icon AAL, keeping overload in place.

Sadly, my 35-40-something year old Craftsman grease gun finally gave up the ghost, another delay. Looks like I need to rebuild, if possible. Thankfully I've a backup of the exact same Craftsman grease gun with non-syn greast so it didn't result in another trip to store.

PSA: About shit my pants pulling out of the garage. The second I turn the wheel backing out, loud ass single *POP*! Stopped immediately, but was on a slope, thought I should kick it over a hair so I was on level ground in case something was about to give. Loud ass single *POP* again. So I just stopped totally. I'm 100% positive I torqued everything again while on the ground, somehow the passenger SPC upper top nut was almost a full turn loose. Jacked up, set things back near center-slot, Got a bar and torqued that bastard down again. Still: Always doublecheck yo' shit after you back out, even if you already checked!

Drive uneventful. 4HI is good. No ABS lights. Handling comments to come later. I feel like camber is about right on driver side (see what it says on the rack), but I'm definitely looking off on the driver side. I've been positive on both driv/pass, wearing my outside edge for the last few hundred miles.

PS - thanks for the links hookup @alb1k!! They're going to good use.

Anyway, some garbage pics for future reference. And in seeing them, I probably need to crank down on my links a hair, I forgot to get back to them with a deep-well when standard bottomed out.

Looking nice and tidy. Congrats!

 

p0057 originally
replaced downstream on passenger side

now I am getting p0420 code, I am going to get another downstream for the driver side

 

Yep, P0420 is for B1, i.e. driver's side.

This reply may help you, at least explain some things, the thread above that reply may help too: https://www.tundras.com/threads/help-with-p0420-cat-o2-sensor.114949/page-2#post-3310257

That member had a similar situation. And many members have found P0420/P0430 when they only change ONE of the two sensors on a bank. Always best to replace in pairs, even as much as it pains the wallet. As long as you don't do something dumb, like using a brand other than Denso, and/or making the mistake of purchasing your parts on scAmazon, fleaBay, Wallworld, you'll be likely to get another 15-20 years out of the new sensors, and won't struggle with misleading codes if you just do both on the failing bank.

 

Thank you

 

Hey @empty_lord IIRC those wheels only come in 16, what size tires are those?

 

I finally had some time where it was both cool enough to enjoy working on my truck and I wasn't watching my kiddos on my days off so I could get some things done on it.

Added in an Easylift Tailgate torque assist from the rainforest website and am simply amazed at how light my tailgate is now. Hoping I don't feel like I'm about to throw out my back anytime I close my tailgate from inside me bed .

Additionally, I got my second battery wired up, going to adjust the length for some of the heavier gauge wires tomorrow, but happy with the results so far!

-Edited a typo.-

 

Thems 15s
Had em on my 99

 

they were 16's on my '97 5runner.

huh. Sure does look like it says 15x7

 

Every time I've seen similar pairs listed here in ATL, they've been for 16s when in 6-bolt format. But I'm not a Toyota encyclopedia, so I may be wrong

 

These are 15” stock wheels. They’re 31x10.5”

 

@DJenerated for the win

 

I used to be a 1GTaco.nerd hardcore before Tundras. I still have a special place in my heart for em

Took my camping setup down and cleaned the bed and bed mat. Selling the camper shell and installing my new camper shell soon! Gonna build a new setup for the inside, should have more sleeping space.
