Hey kids! New acquisition.

Hello all! So here's a little update. The car runs great. Smooth and quiet. I'm going in tomorrow for an alignment badly needed after replacing the struts. Mileage tests are still pending. But battery status is interesting.

So it turns out that I did NOT have a bad traction battery. In had simply run it flat trying to start an engine th at wouldn't run. So while I was trying to figure out what to do I charge cycled a bunch of modules I had around and built up the battery again. Yes I did the unthinkable and mixed gen 2 and gen 3 modules. So very many posts are dedicated to NOT doing that.... except for TJM_wrap who after going through piles of modules says the car won't know the difference. And I think he's right. Here are a couple screen shots of Dr prius testing. You can clearly tell on the monitor which blocks are gen3. And the life expectancy test is certainly an uplifting result!
Happy motoring.

 

Isn’t it purty ?!??

 

Hey, thanks for the kudos! yeah it was a fun trip, and I don't mind the extra effort, I learned a lot. Getting the actual Toyota guys to look it over was totally worth it. verifying that everything I did was right, and the problem was faulty supposedly "rebuilt" injectors was not my fault. Plus I could refund them. I'm not driving far so I Still don't know what the mileage is. Most everyone kept telling me to buy a used engine. Even the mechanics. I wanted to keep this engine for two reasons. One, if it specs out then I get to reset it's clock if you will while the used engine is more expensive and of unknown quality. Two, I kinda think cars have a soul, and I don't wanna mess with it's heart if I don't have to. motor on dudes!

 

Do tell, you have my attention!
