    Nah it's in line with the flywheel, when you take it off you can see the teeth the starter uses, pretty neat inspecting through where it goes

    Yup, sorry I'm not much of a describer lol but yeah brake clean and wipe it all off with a rag. That little green connector in the picture near the oil pan. 

     

    might be a stupid question but do you have to drain the tranny first?

    I'll add a pic to this post but it's on the bottom of the bell housing with a little metal cover, and a big weird push connector and one 10mm bolt holding it all on, my engine seemed to rev up and down sluggishly before and when I took it out it had a bunch of shavings on it and a little bb sized chunk of metal, hope it's nothing major but I assume all that crud was messing up the reading, haven't been able to drive much as I'm waiting for the rain to pass to finish welding my exhaust together. Weather is absolutely awful in virginia right now grr 

     

    In recent news, attempting to make a y pipe and putting a little cherry bomb turbo on the truck, gotta give the tiger a good roar lol

    Ah ok...so pretty easy to get to then. What did you clean it with? Just some brake parts cleaner? Im gonna have to give that a go

    I did this project in the summer, but just now decided to post it. Like many, my 03 had some rust creeping out from behind the fender flares in the back. Just like an iceberg, what you see on the surface is usually just a little taste of what’s lurking underneath. I decided the best course of action was to cut out all the bad metal and rebuild that section with fiberglass. I used fiberglass cloth and resin for the basic structural repair, then finished it off with tiger hair and body filler. Since this was a small project I decided to try 2k clear coat in a can for the first time, and I was very pleased with the results. It laid down nicely and was easier than getting out my compressor and spray gun. I lined the portion of the paint that is hidden under the flare with bedliner to help protect it in the future, so that’s why the paint at the edge of the wheel well looks a little rough in places. It isn’t visible with the flare back on.

    That looks really good. What did you paint it with?

    A little bit of an update, I thought those two bolts were what connected the catalytic converts, but after closer look they were just resonators so I decided to just cut out
    Both resonators and weld in pipe in between. That sound mixed with the flow master muffler I already have made the truck sound very good. I’m really happy with the sound of the truck now, I would try to get a video but it’s so hard to get a video of the sound of an exhaust.

    Ya it usually comes out sounding tinny and crappy. my 01 qx4 actually does have cats where those resonators are. thinking about taking some measurements and having a shop make me some test pipes to delete them

    Past week I've bled brakes, changed out master cylinder (no change oof), replaced starter and now I'm currently monkeying in a cherry bomb "muffler" because priorities lol. These trucks are fun to work on.  :D Oh and also cleaned my crankshaft position sensor since I had to unplug and move the harness out of the way to get the starter wiggled out, woke up the engine noticeably, I like how easy it is to take those out!  

    got any pics of cleaning the crank sensor? It really made that much of a difference?

    With so much rain here in the south(east TN) this past month I haven't had a chance to wash the old gal. Being OCD like I am, has been driving me crazy. The last 3 days with clear skies and highs in the 60's that all came to an end. This is February isn't it? Lol clean machine. #r50obsessed 90c7ca77e0458c7b78cfe6d08cdb9ec3.jpg

    Nice work! How were the power valve screws before you took them out? Did anything seem loose?

    No none of them were loose. They didn’t take a ton of torque to remove...but they were in there snug. I do like the extra feeling of security from having them done though 

  9. plZFnnBljhere’s what I ended up having to do to replace it. When I had the swivel in the middle of the two extensions it was too long and hit the ac line and I couldn’t get it over the sensor. When I put the swivel on the socket itself....it swiveled too much and dropped so I couldn’t get it over the sensor. I ended up wrapping it with several wraps of electrical tape to remove some of the flopiness, but still allow it to flex enough that I could get it over the sensor. It was a huge pain in my ass and my hand is shredded but I got it done!!!

     

    The etc sensor was a pain to reach and getting the harness off kind Of sucked, but once it was off I removed the sensor with a 19mm deep socket and it was good to go
