Default Two questions - 05-15-2007 , 07:19 AM






Hi,

I know I saw this in this newsgroup before.

How can I set my laptop up to analyze my Tundra's (2001) computer
gen'd error messages? I'm getting the check engine light again and I'm
not sure that it's the oxygen sensor(s). The truck is running fine, in fact
the gas
mileage seems to have gotten better.

The second question is I need to get new shocks and am looking for
recommendations for my Tundra. I really just drive it on highway about
70% of the time, In the city the rest of the time. I might occasionally load
the
bed with 400-600 lbs of weight.

Thanks for any feedback.

I doubt this is possible or even practical. However, if this is
possible I question if doing so is economically feasible. You can buy
an OBII/III analyzer for about $100 on Amazon which is what I plan to
do. I know there are $1400 analyzers out there requiring periodic
purchases of (costly) updated software.

Do you plan to install yourself? Are you looking for low cost or
quality?

I'm looking for quality first. I'll probably have someone do it.

Thanks
