    2005 SR5 modest build

    How did you get the ScanGaugeII XGAUGE to display ATF temp? (My Scan-Gauge II is at firmware 3.16 and the settings below from the SG website don't work.) Do these settings work for you? TXD: 07E021D9 RXF: 032180000000 RSD: 2810 MTH: 00070064FE70 Name: ATF (or TFT or whatever) Thanks!

    Sequoia 4WD - how is it different from AWD?

    To add to previous comments, the key difference between AWD and 4WD-capable vehicles is this: 1) AWD only: 3 differentials. Front, center, rear. Center diff cannot be locked. Also lacks 4WD low range gears. No option to use 2WD only. Center diff can dynamically transfer torque between front and...

    Sequoia 4WD - how is it different from AWD?

    I don't think that's the case in my '05. When the tcase is locked, the VSC system is disabled, but the TRAC system still applies braking to spinning wheels, functions as a sort of limited-slip diff, and allows some power to be transmitted to the wheels with more traction. I confirmed this by...

    How many miles on your tree? Any major issues other than general maintenance?

    Just turned over 265,000. Only major issue was failure of the secondary air induction pump system, which triggered limp-mode and the MIL. Fixed it with the plug-and-play SAIP bypass kit for a couple hundred (vs several thousand to repair SAIP system).

    Dome override/ headlight cutoff

    On my '05, the DRL's shut off when the transmission is in Park and the parking brake is engaged, even if the engine is running. If you want, you can also completely disable the DRL's by unplugging the gray connector between the battery and the fender. If you want to wire a switch to turn on ALL...

    Airbag safety recall??

    I needed to have 2 recalls addressed. One for the passenger airbag and another for the side curtain airbag computer. Both repairs were completed by the dealer the same day, though I did have to leave it with them.

    Airbag safety recall??

    I finally got around to getting mine done a few weeks ago. I got tired of the annoying mail notices.

    4.7L Electric Fan Conversion

    Don't do an electric fan conversion. It's not worth the effort. Your stock belt-driven fan, provided that the fan clutch is working properly, should do an adequate job of both cooling and minimizing power loss. I used to run an e-fan on my other 4x4, and my alternator decided to die while I was...

    LED headlight bulbs???

    I have a full set of LED bulbs (headlamps and fog lamps) installed in my '05, and the light output is superior to the stock halogen bulbs. The bulbs are GTRlighting Gen 2 bulbs. They were about $200/pair. There is a newer model of bulb available now...

    Dome override/ headlight cutoff

    Could you be more specific? What is a dome override? And by "cut the headlights" do you mean how to disable daytime running lights or something else? (You can "cut the headlights" by using the headlamp switch on the turn signal stalk, or more permanently by unplugging the bulbs...)

    Rear height control

    To replace the AHC air bags with coil springs, you only need the replacement coil springs and new spring insulators (p/n 483130C010). They cost about $140 each new, or you can source them at a wrecking yard. Of course, you'd also need to disable the AHC system.

    Front Sway Bar End Link Polyurethane Bushings with Pictures.

    How well do they work with a lift? My current end link bushings are trashed because the swaybar angle is steep with the 2.5" lift. Do you know if there are longer links anywhere?

    Front sway bar disconnect???

    What limits the suspension angles when both front tires are in the air? The swaybar has no influence on suspension travel in this case.
