Nope, o2 code is remaining, so I will replace that sensor. Brake problem seems to be increased in complexity. Po some how stripped out one of the slide holes on the knuckle and with a stroke of brilliance replaced it with a standard bolt, not understanding that the threads on the bolt generally dont slide well within a rubber sleeve. I think I will get the oversized cutter pin and get that fixed and maybe replace the caliper as well since it doesnt look quite right. Seems to be a new problem everytime I get something fixed, most of it previous owner of some time fault....except the fuel pump, that's just age and sitting and that the first replacement was a pos.

Did denso on 3 of the 4 corners, just have to install the last denso on the right front. I used an over sized caliper bolt to fix it for the time being while I look for a set of 03/04 4x4 spindles so its stopped smoking. Ride is currently horrible and I need to change the awful 285/75/16 nittos to the stock 265/70/16s. Also needs an alignment and I'm going to probably need new rotors or something

Well the Pending 02 code went away for that corner, which is a huge positive. Wound up replacing the front bearings as well as all 4 tires since the tire shop noticed the front driver had ridiculous play - looks like at least 1/8" or more on the bearing itself.. (Apparently PO had installed light truck tires, mmmm 10 ply and heavy as all hell on 3 of the 4 corners, one tire had weights on 3/4 of the backside of the rim - tech said kinda like trying to balance a brick per say) Ride is much better, but still needs an alignment as the steering wheel is ****-eyed a bit. Brakes are there, but really suck, feel soft, so Ive a new master cylinder on the way, since Ive been around all 4 corners and bled them. Also got this weird pending P0551 for the power steering sensor. Not really sure where thats coming from since the scan tool shows the thing changing from a high to low reading, but maybe someone knows what type of output this thing is supposed to have or what might be causing that crap to manifest.
