    I would grab FSM, and voltmeter and check voltage at bank1 sensor. Sounds like a harness or connector loose issue maybe.

    You can tap a screwdriver between the blades for a little separation and spray graphite lube into the gap between the leaves.

    I have full Skid Row brand skid plates and cat protectors. The front skid is a lot sturdier than the OEM skid. And the shocks are King 2.5s.

    Is your fuel system kicking out of low demand (lower voltage)? Not sure what triggers the switch to 12v... TPS? But just throwing another rabbit trail out there for you :rofl::thumbsup:
    Not sure if you would feel it starving for fuel if it wasn't jumping up to 12v.
    If I had to test it I guess ide tap into the power for the pump and check voltages at idle, and then when rocking the throttle?
    Doesn't make sense on only one bank with this idea though.
    Mine is also a 2000

    Huh. I thought about doing that with my SS3s after the newer member on here who was going to send a 3d printed set ghosted suddenly.

    I wonder if anyone makes a custom pod setup similar to this one for the DD SS3 lights? https://www.foxbeamlighting.com/products/ss3-led-fog-light-kit-for-2000-2007-toyota-tundra-sequoia

    I was going to do what you did with the OEM fog light blanks, but the reality is, the kit I just linked is damn near the same price, but purpose-built.

    So it only stalls out under a loaded idle, as in being in drive. And it does it randomly after highway speeds. Now if I have my AC on which brings the RPMs up it won't do it. It'll bog down to like 500 550 and then kick back up to 775 850 rpm. I'm not sure what's cause it to do that. I'm starting to think it's either pump or injector related cause that's all that left to replace other than the rails.

    And what ever it is it's not tripping the CEL, so that's not helping me any.

    You should have asked us before doing that. I have an SR5 bumper, mine, sitting in my garage that has brand new fog housings with frenched yellow projector bulbs I could have sold you for cheap plus shipping. Like 75 bucks total.

    You know if you hit the pads up with a DA and 100 grit like 3 passes over each pad it speeds up the break in period.

    Yeah but I've yet to see a decent write up on how to. Most want you to cut and splice wires under the dash. But in all reality, there should be a way to pull the relay and make a jumper wire, to give us the same result, with less mess or effort. I just have yet to see anyone figure out what relay and which two slots to jump. Should just need two inches of wire and two blade (male) crimps.

    A little bit of Dejavoo for me..... No code stall at idle under load, only when it was warmed up in closed loop. Put it in gear-stall, or at stop lights.
    It was literally like flipping a switch cutting all ignition power
    My tank was solid rust inside, but I went through the entire fuel system very similar to what I'm hearing you do.
    My 2021 trail:
    New tank
    Fuel pump Denso
    Incrementally flush all fuel lines
    Remove-clean rails
    Pressure clean all injectors forwards and backwards with a DIY system-actuate with a 9v battery
    All new injector seals
    Fuel pressure test - 45psi
    Dampener and regulator tests...
    Cleaned TB, checked the idle/rest angle of the throttle plate, and function of actuator motor.
    Calibrated TPS, what a bitch.
    Visit/clean all Grounds
    Open and verify timing belt. condition-good, alignment-good
    Extensive hands on examination of so much wiring harness and connectors
    Remove and examine ECU INSIDE, and all connectors for any corrosion, no water intrusion...
    At this point there was a bit of spray and pray with the parts cannon.
    MAF/CAM/CRANK/Coils/plugs (harness to crank and oil sender was chewed up from serp belt/aka not routed properly, repairing didn't fix problem)
    I know I've missed a bunch shit, but this took me many months and was well before I tapped into the knowledge here.:hattip:
    Had been avoiding ECU possibility because I thought it would be 600-800. $125, from a local salvage yard. Victory, hasn't stalled since.o_O
    I think it got a hard short during the accident this truck was in. That's all I can guess.

    My local junkyard wanted $400! for a 90s 4runner diff with huge rollover damage. I'll be running 2wd for the meantime.

    Ran out cutoff wheels, but this was a pain in the ass. End result is phewwwwwww looking good. Now I can confidently clear at full bump in the rear. Used rubber edge trim on the cut bedside so I won’t slice my tires if they do hit. Picking up new clips, cutoff wheels and grinding wheels tomorrow to polish off the passenger rear.

    No, I did not cycle the shock. This was to maximize as much rear wheel well as cleanly as I could possibly do it.

    That’s the only corner I got done. Took me about 2.5 hours, but I’m not great with the angle grinder so I took my time. Knocking out the passenger rear tomorrow and the fronts i may just trim the flares to match since I have issues at the firewall not the fender.
    I am not good enough at this to even think about cutting someone else’s truck haha.

    Looks good from my house.
    The only experience I have cutting metal is on stuff where it doesn't really matter how it looks haha.
    Like cutting bolts, exhaust pipes, siding, etc.

    The flare I don’t mind cutting for you with the dremel, but the bedside is a huge responsibility and irreversible. I’ll supervise and help, but I’m not going to be the guy that accidentally f***’s up someone’s else’s truck. I bought 7” cutoff wheels which would have made quick work of this, but I’m too much of a puss to use an angle grinder without the shield hahaha

    Yeah, not using a shield in an angle grinder can get super sketchy super quick. I use 6” cutoff wheels in my 4.5” grinders, and it puts my left index and middle fingers pretty close to the wheel. I have to be SUPER aware of my hand positioning when the wheel is still a full 6” diameter. Only once the wheel wears down to around 4.5” in diameter do my fingers feel safe. I’ve accidentally ground into the tops of a few different fingers 4 or 5 times. A leather gloves helps slow down the slicing, but i still have some fairly decent scars all over. So if you can keep the guards, then definitely do it!

    Pic of the cache of most of my grinders. I have bought most all of my milwaukees used on craigslist.

    Yeah I tore the top of my glove with the big cutoff and immediately went back to the 4 1/2" wheel with the guard. I need to get a corded angle grinder cause I'm wearing my Milwaukee m18 out. I had to keep letting it cool down.

    Hahahaha, 7" wheels I know right. I had to use them when I cut off my LCAs, sketch level 9. Just stay out of the plane of death. 2 moderate hand injuries has given me a little respect for my favorite tool though.
    And nice job! Looks very pleasing to the eye and not hacked:thumbsup:
