Ok, my originals and the Magnaflows have no numbers on them. I wonder if that is the only difference.

Hmm, let me think for a second, no, don't remember my originals having any numbers on them, but my memory is not the greatest.
Ya that's the only stickler for California they have to be the right number and no long headers, Shorty's only

Alright, so if I'm understanding this right, the replacements have to have a CARB number and apparently that's the only difference between a Federal and California cat when it comes to these trucks? The originals would not have to be labeled such as they would be identified through the VIN and RPO?

I don't know if the originals have a number on them or not never really paid attention to that, and I don't know what the difference is for them federal vs California, I had a 4runner that was federal and it passed California everytime, except one place read it was federal on the tag and said they couldn't smog it, so I went down the street to another place and they passed it, lol.

Changed the air pump out, works Everytime now and I can hear it release the air each restart so I'm sure that was the problem, easy job.

Maybe 20 mins to change. Idk about the spare since i dont have one haha. The hardest part was getting the tube up by the gas cap.
Completed mine this morning. Took me 45 minutes. 30 of that was hacking with that stupid spare. Horrible hoist design imo :whymewhyme:

Nope other than it’s a super easy job assuming you have sockets with you. Should take you 10-15 minutes tops

13 and 10 mm?

Possibly? Been a few years since I had to do mine on my Burb. I just remember it being super simple. Take the belt off with belt tensioner and the alternator is held on by two bolts. Then you have a plug to unplug and another nut to undo near the plug

Drove it about 800 miles today and it looks like the EVAP purge solenoid was the ticket. Check engine light has not popped back on :win:

In other news, about 30 minutes into the trip a stone got kicked up and cracked my windshield fml :okay2:
