Got a scan tool.  CEL comes on intermittently.  Not sure if it's telling me I need an oil change or whaaaaaa.  It'll be nice to have a scan tool, doe.

It most definitely is not telling you that you might need an oil change. Probably an oxygen sensor or something.

Indeed!

P0156 and P0157.  Bank 2 O2 sensor, low/no voltage.  Scantool can read it real time, so I'll check it next drive.

Also, P0430, which apparently means the catalyst system is operating below efficiency.  So probably just a byproduct of the above.

Annnnnnd P0600, which is some sort of ECM/PCM error.

Hopefully it's your o2 sensors and not the actual cat...

[giant_mtb]

Hopefully.

Buy the Alldata subscription for your vehicle. Follow troubleshooting guides.
Or Mitchell on demand, but I don't like it.

The information from obd-codes.com is pretty helpful. 

"If you have access to a scan tool, check the signal voltage for the Bank 2,2 oxygen sensor with the engine at normal operating temperature. Is it stuck low currently? If so, increase RPM for a few seconds and see if it affects the reading. If it begins working with increased RPM, check for holes in the exhaust near the o2 sensor that may cause a false lean. If the exhaust pipe is intact, the sensor is sluggish, replace it."

etc. etc.

Kumho Road Venture AT51



Black Rock steelies




Potential combo.  Could get a wheel/tire set mounted and balanced delivered to my door for about $1200 (incl. $250 shipping).  The steelies are 41lbs. each. 

Could also do this when I have the cash to drop for some pads and rotors and get it all done at once.  FR pads are starting to hit the wear bars.  Rears are drums...never checked car drums before, but will then.

Power steering pump is still on the list as well.  It's been cold and I don't have the cash to pay someone. 

[giant_mtb]

Also, the tires currently on the truck are 245/70/17.  Tire Rack indicates stock size is 265/65.  So my speedometer's been like .2% off!

EGADS!!!

[giant_mtb]

Where can I find super cheap steelies.  Not name brand ones.

[Rupert]

I was getting quotes from some places for BFGs for ~$170/tire, mounted, and that was load range E. I ended up with Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revo 2 for about the same price. IMO those are both preferable to the Kumhos and worth the money. Why are you getting wheels? Spend that money on tires!

Can you not fit OEM ones?  Or I'm sure there are some dirt cheap GM 1/2 tons ones out there.

GM trucks use 6 lug, IIRC

Jesus, next step after Chevy wheels is a goddamn 350.

My boss's boss has an old Ford Ranger with Chevy wheels. Always makes me laugh.

FJ steelies look best though

The wheels are old, corroded, and leaky. PO painted em so they're 10' wheels.

[Rupert]

10' wheels? Must be expensive tires...

$1200 for an entire wheel and tire set seems like a pretty good deal to me.

I thought so, too.  If I did it locally and spent under $1000, that'd be cool.  The tire shop I usually go to can un-lift and align it, too.  So that could all probably get done at the shop for $1200 or so if I just had them do it all at once.

[BimmerM3]

I'm looking at like $1300-$1500 for new wheels + tires for the Explorer. I might just put the shitty all seasons back on instead though.

[MrH]

Wheels and tires I want for the 4Runner are like $1600
