I have an 02 SR5 that I share with my parents. We've had it since new. It's been on their farm for about a year. Not sure how long it was on but the check engine light was on when I picked it up. I noticed mpg was awful on the hour drive home. Scanned it and it was the up stream sensor on the passenger side. Drove it up on ramps and had it swapped out in 15 minutes. Took two hands to get the harness unplugged but still super easy. Immediately noticed an uptick in performance and fuel economy. Don't wait. Just do it.
can't believe you waited two years and had no issues 😂 my bank 2 sensor 1 went out 1 week ago, my gas mileage sucked ass dramatically, and I definitely had less power on the highway and even trying to accelerate quick in any situation. I replaced it today I couldn't wait any longer
Hey Tyler as a fellow creator and someone who does diy videos I suggest you get yourself a code reader also more lighting would help haha. They are cheap and allow you to scan for codes and check readiness monitors. If you want to improve your gas mileage on any engine replacing the upstream o2 sensor will net you the biggest gain. So replacing them maybe every 100k miles should be a maintenance item. The downstream o2 sensors check for catalytic converter efficiency. And just so everyone is aware p0420/p0430 does not automatically mean you need a cat. There are a lot of nuances with check engine lights and reading the parameters behind why they set can help diagnose them properly. Having a check engine light on means your engine will use a base timing and fuel injection parameter that will keep the engine running but your pcm will not correct for such things as engine temp, atmospheric pressure, air temperature, or even worn parts. Anyway good video keep it up! 💪 look forward to more.
I have an 05 tundra, currently have the code p2445 stuck off in bank 1, its the secondary fuel injection pump, would you have any idea on the steps I should take for fixing it?
@@mchael you mean secondary air injection pump b1. I’m not familiar with the tundra. But if there are two pumps one for each bank you can try swapping them and see if the code goes away. Also check fuses that power the pump or check for voltage going to the pump. Hope that helps.
Have you had any issues with your cv axle inner/outer boots showing cracks/wear or issues due to the small lift/ level you have? I have pretty much the same setup aside from tires, 285s, but plan to go with your 235s to shed some significant weight.
@@208Tyler Your vehicle is much smarter than mine, I failed an emissions test at 70 miles but did nothing other than make a 25-mile trip and passed with flying specs.
Everyone will hope it's the 02 sensor and not the($$$ Catalytic converters$$$$$) , which it is on mine. I replaced My all my oxygen sensors did not help. Replace that cats twice with$ 100 $ dollar 2.5 inch amazon cats highflow. Magnaflow highflow cat's is on my list!! last about 20 miles no code. goes off and on on on its own. Whenever it wants to. Stock catts from dealer are only $5200 😮😮.
If the frame is good and maintenance has been kept up on, then go for it. Mine was single owner, rust free, well maintained, straight body, spotless interior, and went for 8k at 194k miles.

Nope! No issues with my CV axle boots.
@@208Tyler Glad to hear that, thanks man!
fyi it takes about 100 miles for the ecu to figure out its new parameters.
Cool! The CEL went off in about 60 if I’m not mistaken.

I'm looking at a 2000 extended cab 4x4 with 175k miles. Seller is asking $6300. What do you think?

Your o2 sensors are fouling out. Do to your ticking cracked exhaust manifold
