Still getting the feel for my new-to-me 05 pathy and have a couple of items that seem odd but may be normal. Any other R51 owners, please chime in with your observations.
1. When I start the truck in cold weather using the key only (no gas pedal), the engine revs up and holds at a fast idle for several seconds then drops down to what I would consider to be a normal idle. When I start it the same way after driving for awhile, it does not do that. Is this a 'feature'?
2. Watching my oil pressure indicator, it seems to fluctuate quite a bit with engine speed. During normal driving, the needle is midway in the normal range but, when I stop, the needle drops to almost out of normal. It also jumps up and down when I rev the engine. I don't recall my other vehicles doing that. Does the oil pressure fluctuate that much?
I have short videos of each of these if needed. Would have to upload off my phone which I don't have with me right now.

Took it to my local tire shop. 2 of my sensors were not reporting and the other 2 I suspect were original as well. I heard there is a 10year or so lifespan on the sensor unit batteries that are molded into the units and not replicable so I went ahead and had them replace all 4 and take care of the bead-leaks. Got a good deal on the sensors and installs. Have not had a low pressure warning since the install a month ago.

interesting

new struts, new shocks, fixed a bad brake light and threw on new wiper blades.

Had the pressure sensors in all 4 tires replaced and the slow leaks resolved in my 05

Anyone ever replaced their TPMS sensors and program the system? I've heard rumor that there is a sequence that does not involve a special device but have not gotten specific feedback on the pathy. The searches have turned up Infinity's and Frontiers.

coleman fuel. Gets rid of oil and grease but dries the hell out of your hands. Wash afterwards with soap and water to get rid of the naphthalene smell

According to whoever was the jackass that put mine on; turn the damn thing so tight nobody else can get the damn thing off.
That's when you need the screwdriver removal technique

I lube the gasket with a drop or two of oil then tighten it until it makes good contact (starts to snug) then I crank it another 1/4 turn

did you try wiggling the connector on the top of your MAF?

I have never had bell housing bolts loosen. Sounds like an improper install to me. Also, ALL of the bolts would have to be very loose for anything to move enough to cause internal interference and, even then, I would not think that would happen.

not sure but you can try ebay etc.

disconnected the positive post on the battery. Got home yesterday and the stupid truck was squeaking and chirping. Apparently, leaving it un-driven for 3 months and being in the teens out, the battery decided to crap out/in/etc and trigger the alarm (which was a terrible sound with a dead battery). I opened the door and it stopped.... not enough juice to squeak anymore. Still waiting for my replacement title so I can get her sold.

lol... guess your lock cylinder is fubar'd Has the truck ever been broken into or stolen?

check your polarity. LEDs are very particular about which direction the current flows

Threw a box in the back that contained the front and rear climate control units and a missing piece of roof rack trim. Received from Brian Crampton (look on Facebook for contact info). Waiting for reasonable weather to do the install.
