Don't get me wrong, I still enjoy LCE and will still shop there. With the new sensor it started a little bit better even though it's just as cold out.
Just so people don't think I'm anti-LCE. Here's my problem with them. I ordered a block from them when mine blew up as I had no way of getting one machined in a timely manner (7 weeks just to have a head decked) It took them over two weeks to ship the block which was kind of annoying but I understand it's a big order and they probably had to do some machining. I then got the block and the crankshaft that had came was a .010/.010 crankshaft, which the part number isn't listed on their site so I had ordered std. bearings. Not a big deal, they sent me new bearings free of charge, once I got those in (Another week) I put them in and guess what, they will not come into specs. Well someone had put a .020/.020 crank in a .010/.010 box. Now I didn't have the time to wait another week so I got them locally and contacted LCE about it. Side note, I had three months to build and break in an engine while working 14 hour days before I left for school so you can understand that at this point it's July and it's still not done.I assembled the block and everything was going great and I ended up breaking a piston ring. Now I had to actually call them because they didn't bother to tell me the block was bored .030 over for the pistons which made me mad. Now they do have great customer service and helped me and when my injectors got lost they knocked the price down on the ones I ordered from them since I had to buy the bearings. But I've had one OPS go out from them and now a Water temp sensor. That's why I'm skeptical of their stuff now.
Every business in existence has the same business mold. Cheep, fast, good. Pick two and you can describe any business. when they try to do all three is when things start to go down hill.
Are you thinking of trail gear?
communication, I think is the biggest problem with most companies, quick to take your cash, but then they somehow forget about you, or there to busy selling to the next guy. I would like it if they told me a date, and it arrived early. I mean he's the guy telling me "X" amount of time. tell me 2 weeks later then you think its going to get here. this way if there's problems on there side. they can address and fix before said due date. even better, getting my product earlier then anticipated date
.... My CSTTS will be here tomorrow and I hope that completely solves it.
If the CSTTS does not fix the problem, I may have to go on a Valium drip!! Gnarls.
I'm really hoping it does. Currently there's another problem piping it's head up, now in the mornings when shifting from first gear to second and getting back on the gas there's a slight hesitation but only when cold. Since I had noticed this yesterday I jumped the fuel pump today to make sure it wasn't that and there was no difference.
I do believe the new CSTTS fixed the problem. If not then I'm ordering a megasquirt DIYPNP ECU and just going stand alone so by-pass Toyota's cold start system.
OOOOMMGGG!!!! Please.... tell me for sure it's fixed!! I was starting to lose sleep over this! ...LOL Seriously... did it start right up from a cold start? Gnarls.
What year is the truck. There is a countermeasure cold start timer switch and also a countermeasure coolant temp sensor that toyota offered. some of the trucks needed it.Toyota still offers both the original and the countermeasure. If you search you can find the very old tsb.
It sure enough was the CSTTS, new one in and haven't had a problem anymore thankfully.
Coool Beeeeeans!! Geez... I can sleep good tonight!Got A/C now too.Gnarls.
I'm glad to hear you got A/C back!
