    She is gone

    Smog emissions came up out here in CA on my 99 EB, which means dyno. She was blowing back some pressure from the cat, I could tell by the way the oil smelled, the exhaust being forced back gives the oil somewhat of a distinct odor. Also the clogged cat was forcing oil into the cylinder, burning...

    Spiders. Hundreds of them.

    Alright, long story short, my expy came from a house garage out in the Southern CA desert. It had been sitting for quite some time. At first I thought I had only one black widow, and one egg sac to contend with, I was able to find the mother and eliminate her, though her babies all made it out...

    Spark Plugs

    Can anyone post an actual video of changing the very rear plugs? I want to actually see someone get all the way back there with their tools and work those plugs out. Not a single video or any other proof of this exists on the internet! I'm scared to do it!

    Birthday Thread!

    I have something special planned for my 99 EB on it's birthday. 20 years is a very, very long time for a truck to live. And more of these vehicles are still on the road than anyone else, including Toyota! Yes, I actually live in the most numerous and diverse area for vehicles in the United...

    Mystery intermittent oil consumption

    The front crossmember of the frame is always wet with shiny oil, suggesting oil is leaking somewhere, however there is never any oil dripping. I have my own concrete parking space with no stains. I never get around to lifting the front and inspecting underneath. But the oil consumption is...

    Spark Plugs, no more BS

    Alright, contrary to everything written on the internet, and also on Youtube, there is no actual way to change these spark plugs. I have been putting the job off long enough, and it needs to get done NOW :) Reaching the rear passenger plug is impossible, drivers side too. There is no possible...

    Horn...

    I just noticed there is no way to remove the alarm horn.. Looks like I have to remove the dashboard to get to the connector for the horn, even though the horn is located within the engine bay. Anyone have experience with this?

    Brake upgrades - Disable ABS

    Alright, I was able to pinpoint my brake issues. I knew they never felt right, despite the fact was my first large heavy vehicle ever owned, and was unsure of normal stopping characteristics of something this large. The problem definitely stems from the vehicles ABS. I have never seen a problem...

    Brake upgrades...

    I am actually unsure of how my brakes should perform. They seem very weak, my 99 EB doesn't stop on a dime like cars do. I have never owned anything even remotely large of vehicle such as this before, so I am unsure if this is normal behavior for trucks or not. The higher speed this SUV...

    Torque converter (4r100), or something else?

    My truck is damn sluggish going uphill. It's impossible to go beyond 2nd gear, I just cant bring her up to speed to upshift to the next gear, without opening the throttle all the way. I have never owned or driven such a heavy vehicle before, could this perhaps just be normal? I replaced the TPS...

    Loose coil connection to sparkplug?

    Just checking the new coilpacks with the boot removed, and I noticed the connection from the coilpack to the sparkplug seems very loose. It just barely hangs in there, without any resistance, you can easily slide the spring off and on. It doesn't make good contact. Is this normal? Here is a...

    The dreaded throttle position sensor

    Alright, first noticed my 99 EB with 2WD was struggling to climb hills, the engine would increase RPM, but the power output just seemed flat. This would also happen on leveled surfaces too sometimes, depending on how I launch the vehicle from a standstill. This all really felt like a failing...

    Crooked Truck

    Well, I jacked her up for the first time, on the frame railing towards the center of the vehicle but more biased to the rear. About 2ft towards the rear if you were measuring from the center of that particular rail. Now the truck is crooked. It's slanted in the direction I was jacking. I'm...

    Compression Test.

    Has anyone here done a compression test for these engines, especially the 5.4? Any advice?

    Spark plugs and compression.

    Hello everybody, is there a proper guide for changing the plugs and coils for these engines? Mine is the 5.4. I read bits of information over the internet here and there which doesn't seem consistent. There is also not much information on youtube about this particular job either. This is my...

    Evidence of Liquid Gasket Sealant

    Hi everybody, this is my first time posting here. Is there a way to determine if liquid gasket repair (the kind you put in your radiator) has ever been used? Is there anything specific I can look out for? My vehicle may have had this liquid repair used, then had the coolant replaced *after*...
