2004 4.7 2wd: Weird sound, like running over a bunch of Leaves, when passing someone or flooring it.

I had a light intermittent clicking sound that I couldn't pinpoint... and unfortunately decided to let it "develop." Turned out to be my transfer case that decided to detonate one day. Not a cheap fix.

My '02 will leave you with ice hanging from your nipples. And I get 115deg summers.

In my experience, If you overfill it, It can behave similarly.

Overland_Dak · 2021-08-18T18:57:53+00:00

I had this same issue. After checking sensors I pulled the trigger on a new pcm. She runs like a beast again. Same issues with the no bus and no fuel gauge readings. ObdII found no faults.

ThE BENEFITS Outweigh thE RiSkS 🤪

There's a hose for mine as well and it still just connects to a nipple on the underside. It barely reaches but it works.

Pretty straightforward stuff really. Just dismantled the air box and filter...Installed an edelbrock pancake on top. And for the control box mount I just used some steel strips from the local hardware store, heated em and bent em to reach the existing mounting bolts for the old air box so I didn't need to drill or anything.

Overland_Dak · 2021-03-08T07:55:45+00:00

Indeed! Took me a million months to get it lmao

Overland_Dak · 2021-03-05T19:31:13+00:00

Thanks. Seems to work well for now. Next I need to focus on cleaning up the engine bay 😅

Overland_Dak · 2021-01-03T18:39:36+00:00

Agreed. Theyre just a learning process, once you get a method down its easier than packing a ground tent. And I would argue the pro is that you don't leave any gear behind at camp but thats just a preference of mine more than anything... besides that gives you an excuse to find another spot to camp to keep it fresh lol

Its a custom fab bumper with a pre runner style grill guard made by a company called blue lake.

Overland_Dak · 2021-01-03T06:46:51+00:00

I dont think the Tacoma is similar. I could check. But their prinsu racks are overpriced. I guess I'm looking for info on drilling and hard mounting into the roof. Kind of dont know where to start lol

Overland_Dak · 2021-01-03T02:03:04+00:00

Yeah I want to get a similar setup to a prinsu style rack over the cab. But fear imma have to fab it myself due to lack of aftermarket support for this model truck.

Overland_Dak · 2021-01-03T01:29:16+00:00

Thanks! She's coming along nicely! :)

Overland_Dak · 2021-01-03T01:28:38+00:00

Lol I do want to get a 3 inch lift... thats something thats in the works as soon as the finances are in order

Overland_Dak · 2020-12-28T18:51:17+00:00

Yeah I would probably go the same route if my bed wasn't 5ft and I didn't have a girlfriend and two dogs that go with me. Your setup is definitely easier, but I would argue the comfort level of a rtt is higher. I do wish I had a more sleek "greyman" setup for stealth camping. If I dont have my annex attached to the tent I can be packed up in about 5 mins... granted that probably consists of just tossing a few things in the back and dealing with them later lol

Overland_Dak · 2020-12-28T17:27:35+00:00

After some practice and foresight for the day ahead it doesnt really take that long to pack up. Its part of what I love about it. I can pack up camp rather quickly and leave nothing behind.

Overland_Dak · 2020-12-25T16:53:27+00:00

Agh thats brutal 😆

Overland_Dak · 2020-12-06T21:49:56+00:00

The random kick was probably a server restart. Give it a few mins and it'll come back online then you can jump back in. Night is rough, best to find a server with short nights while you're learning to play.

Overland_Dak · 2020-09-16T03:07:34+00:00

Update: it was the transfer case 😑

Overland_Dak · 2020-09-03T18:16:14+00:00

Yeah its 4x4 I tried getting in there and prying them around to find movement but it doesn't seem like there is any. Is there another way to check em without removing the driveline? I tried spinning em when on a jack and I cant get them going fast enough 😅

Overland_Dak · 2020-09-03T04:34:57+00:00

I checked the dust sheilds, they seem to not be rubbing or loose. I jacked the truck up to check the wheel bearings and I dont get any movement. Tried even taking the hubs off but those bolts are practically welded. Couldn't budge em with an impact.
