The transmission has shaft speed sensors for trans control that do not feed into the speedo. On the non-abs trucks. The sensor in the transfer case or tailshaft housing is what feeds the speedo. On the later model (04+) trucks, the abs ecu expects the tone ring signals and does speed off that...

I think that depends on if it is an abs model or not. I grabbed an 04 transmission from an abs model tundra and the speed sensor gear was not there and the port was blinded. I think all the sequoias are abs equiped so the speed would come from the tone rings but I may be wrong on that. Sean

I pulled the resistor, jumpered the relay that swaps between it and the full kill mode, and am running an external high current wire/relay for the bigger pump in my truck. The ecu doesn't seem to notice but I also have not started it yet. Sean

Check the starter solenoid connector on the harness while you have the intake off. They get baked and the tabs break off. You can get replacements from ballenger motorsports for like $5. Better to replace it now than have it pop off later. Also check to see if the knock sensor connectors and...

Drill some holes through the aluminum and rough the shit out of it with a carbide burr or something before you try and stick it down so the resin keys through it. I like to use a thickener with the epoxy like cabosil or something when attaching it to metal. You can also look at using something...

You got any shaft pics? Of the modification I mean. Sean

What transmission are you running? Sean

What color is the interior? Sean

Glad the 200lbs of random cardboard got it there for ya! Sean

2.9 is the right call. Sean

If you want it, I have the later plastic intake manifold, throttle body adapter, and new pink injectors I ran on mine before deciding to supercharge it. I liked how it drove afterwards and it was way lighter than the aluminum manifold. I also have a ported aluminum one. We are moving to a new...

Ah my bad, I though there was a GS430 or LS400 with the a340. Sean

Honestly for a taco, I would look at the later 1uz or the 3uz from the early gs430s that I think still used the a340. Those motors were alloy blocks and way lighter if I remember right. The 2uz is a great motor but it's heavy. Sean

You want to grind the crack out so it doesnt keep tearing and show through on the front side. Its almost impossible to make it look good if the crack is still there, you will always have pinholes or a seam. Sean

Been busy, made some progress and am slowly getting closer to fire up. Made a catch can mount and got the clean side plumbing done. I also grabbed some parts from Radium to do the dirty side and plumbed that in to the larger catch can under the battery. Also got my maf tube mounted to the...
