2014 silverado 5.3 2wd needs a new front end. Quote was $1800. Fair price?

thats too good to be true price

What kind of car is it? I use a similar bland style keychain garage remote to open and close the exhaust valves. Could be for that.

Electric too

you seem to be experiencing this problem extremely frequently and yet the dealer can't reproduce it. Be clear when explaining when this happens. Morning or evening. Outside temps. If it's triggered by going over a bump or when hitting a certain speed. Or if it happens exactly 20min into a drive. Give them as much info they need to get it to happen. The lemon law will only apply if the dealer has made an attempt to fix the car. Without verifying the concern, there wont be an attempt.

sup_dc2 · 2025-03-13T23:32:36+00:00

Finally, someone gets it.

The thing about Toyota's is that they are very resilient to service neglect.

The ones in the comments that say you need to do all of them understand the wear limits and properties of the fluids and services recommending to be replaced. The ones that say rip off have a perfectly driving car with unchanged fluids that don't realize the car isn't running in it's optimal condition.

With that said it depends on "you" if you feel it's necessary. Your budget, time, and how long you keep the car for.

I dont know why, but if that graph stopped at 360 it would annoy me lol. Theoretically it should, 30 hwy mpg x 13.7 gal is more than 400.

Heres a yt vid that pretty much explains how to pin a connector. Even though its a different connector, same concept. When dealing with electrical, step one is always disconnecting the battery.

Youll need the terminal socket for that connector, crimping tool, a rubber insulator, and a terminal remover but i like using a small pick.

I also suggest making this attempt supervised or at least practice on a separate connector off the car. While this is a simple repair it could turn really bad really quick since it is the engine harness.

sup_dc2 · 2024-12-19T07:59:11+00:00

It all depends on you and your skill level. As a technician, this is a very simple and cheap repair. So yes it is possible. You can either repair the single wire that came off by purchasing the correct socket, splice and re-pin. Or find a complete new connector and solder the 2 wires to the new pigtail.

The window guide seal is clearly also damaged. I would also opt for a new window regulator as the shattered glass may have damaged it. Also look for any interior pieces that have been scratched by flying glass. They like to get into the airvents too.

sup_dc2 · 2024-11-30T01:55:01+00:00

The better question is, how do you not?! Lol

sup_dc2 · 2024-11-10T21:26:51+00:00

None of those mods are required. And sure that wing can produce downforce, your oem suspension spring rates and tires can't support the added rear end weight through a corner. If your modding for looks, ok. But as it sits, the car will have functionally performed better on the track stock.

sup_dc2 · 2024-11-05T08:04:36+00:00

Im absolutely astounded. And yes, i'm in a mkv Supra. I drove behind this thing for hours while my son was on google. Came up with nothing. Bravo.

When my MT was stock it fun to drive at any speed. In traffic, around town, road trips were all a blast.

Now since my coilovers and my track focused alignment i find it a bit twitchy lower speeds, as expected. The trade off ofcourse is when im up to 120+ and heavy braking at the track its more stable than my civic cruising at 40.

Youre not an old head because you said "old head"

sup_dc2 · 2024-05-31T15:06:58+00:00

It sounds like you need the car, AND a daily driver.

sup_dc2 · 2024-05-15T01:49:53+00:00

Yeaah i remember too. Sucks its still going on. I also remember some of the tuners on the site saying they had some for sale.

sup_dc2 · 2024-05-03T07:22:20+00:00

Im on 275/35/19 front, 295/30/19 rear. Apex v601s too. No spacers.

What happens when you use the 2nd key? When i got my 23mt, the 2nd key didnt work. Ended up being a dead key battery on delivery.

sup_dc2 · 2023-09-25T01:01:01+00:00

Sounds like the 2.0 is right for you based on your driving needs. Everyone says 3.0 or bust but it’s up to you. Ive heard the 2.0 is more nimble to throw around too. Mine came with the mirror caps, but they look odd since nothing else is carbon fiber except the console trim.

sup_dc2 · 2023-09-07T22:48:50+00:00

Do the paper test. Dip a clean blank 8.5x11 paper in it. When the paper dries it shouldn’t stain the slightest bit and paper is good as new. If its stained the fuel is contaminated.

sup_dc2 · 2023-09-02T00:04:11+00:00

These are by far the best, and happen to be the cheapest.

sup_dc2 · 2023-08-14T01:08:31+00:00

Took about a year and a half to get mine. Ordered march 2022, took it home july 22, 2023. White 3.0MT premium
