    CEL came on yesterday, 2006 ODB trouble codes

    NY wife's 4 runner kept coming up with cel and evap codes. I took the gas cap off, and flipped the rubber o ring inside the gas cap inside out and also cleaned the lip on the gas tank fill tube. Been 4 months and no more codes. Might try it.

    Uh Ohh... Rear wheel bearings replacement

    A followup to the followup..the aftermarket sensor lasted about 2 days, then the ABS light and Stabilitrak/Traction Control lights came back on...I ordered and installed a Genuine GM sensor about 2 weeks ago, and now, close to 1000 miles later, all is good... My .02, go with the Genuine GM Speed...

    DTC C0045-00 Left Rear Wheel Speed Sensor

    Someone with more knowledge will give a more definitive answer, but it is my understanding that these are a common maintenance item. Having said that, I just replaced my right rear sensor with a knock off from Ebay. It lasted about 2 days with minimal miles before throwing a Speed sensor not...

    Uh Ohh... Rear wheel bearings replacement

    I wanted to post a followup just in case it would help someone, or anyone was curious. The parts finally arrived and last night I was able to work on my truck. I installed the wheel sensor (after market $13) and the spare tire hoist (why isn't everything as easy to replace as the spare tire...

    I did remove the sensor before i removed everything else, I might have damaged it or something upon removal or reinstall. I have a new one ordered, it'll be delivered April 14th ish. I'll report back after installed and test driven. Thanks guys!

    It was the passenger side tone ring, bearing, seal I replaced.

    That aligns with what the internet search is telling me as well! Fingers crossed ! I'm going to try one of the cheap ones off ebay with a 1 year warranty. Thoughts on that ? Thanks for your reply! I used the specialty tool that seats it the correct depth.

    Uh Ohh... Rear wheel bearings replacement

    Had to go to a couple different auto parts stores to find a reader that'll read abs codes. It came up with C0561-71 and C0050-5A, which is the rear passenger side wheel sensor I assume? I'm assuming the cheap ones on Ebay will suffice? They wanted $93 at Autozone for one. Yikes ! Again -...

    Uh Ohh... Rear wheel bearings replacement

    Wanted to do a followup to my experience. Everything is back together, and the drone coming from my rear is gone! Yay! A couple things I learned and wanted to share. The first is - there are some very knowledgeable and generous people on this site - Thanks to all of you for sharing and a...

    Uh Ohh... Rear wheel bearings replacement

    My Timken seals and bearings arrived today. The bearings however are stamped Koyo. Should I be concerned? Doing a brief search it looks like Koyo are good bearings, but it surprised me. The bearings came in a Timken box...

    Uh Ohh... Rear wheel bearings replacement

    So, before I try this on my own - what are some "look out fors and gotchas"? I assume many of you have replaced wheel bearings on your Tahoe's and could offer some tips for me?

    Uh Ohh... Rear wheel bearings replacement

    I've considered buying and selling it after, but sounds like it might be tough to sell since folks are finding other ways to get this done. Not sure....I'm probably going with a press at this stage...like everyone else does it seems...going to need some luck on this one....I have a few days...

    Uh Ohh... Rear wheel bearings replacement

    That's what I'm finding, no local parts stores have one for rent, and most of the shops I've called don't have the specialty tool, they just wing it, telling me they just kinda know where it goes....... I guess I'm ok with the tone ring being off 1/8" or so as long as the speed sensor isn't...

    Uh Ohh... Rear wheel bearings replacement

    Ok, I may have a go at it. Those some specialty tools are expensive! I may call around to the mobile mechanics in town. I hate to do that as it takes away from the satisfaction of DIY, but I don't want to seat at the wrong depth for the bearing. After this, I may stick to fluids and...
