Glad to hear the timing belt was done...you have to remove it do the water pump so it was probably replaced along with the timing belt. If not, run it and address it if you have any issues or leaks down the road.
I did my serpentine belt and idlers/tensioner when I had the timing belt done a...
Welcome! I'm in the Charleston area myself!
Sounds like you have a good plan! I would also plan on replacing the timing belt/water pump (an Aisin kit is the way to go...about $170 but labor is expensive), as well as the lower ball joints (OEM only...about $200 for the kit). If it's 4WD you'll...
The other day my ex-Toyota master tech FIL and I did the timing belt and water pump with the Aisin Kit, and we also did the drive belt and pulleys/tensioners with the Gates kit. Idles a lot quiter now that all the bearings are new except for the alternator and A/C compressor.
Oh, and i also...
Those SuspensionMaxx extended links are excellent and worth every penny. After my lift went on, I was getting terrible clunking from the end links. These fixed it, and it rides and handles great. No longer feels like the front end is coming apart.
I wasn't able to find one, but you may have luck with auction sites. I ended up picking up their universal kit for about $100. I haven't installed it yet, but it should work as a good alternative. (Note: It's designed for use with a drop-in bedliner)
I bought the Amazon set for about that, but mine were the non-black ones and came with bulbs. It may be the same supplier, but I'm not sure. I think mine came in boxes marked as Angel Eyes or something similar. The fit for the headlights is fine, but the corner lights sit just a tad proud of the...
I just sold one earlier this year. A 4x4 with low miles and no rust at $5K is undervalue I would say from my experience. You got a good deal if it's been maintained and the interior and body are in good shape too.
The new to me 05 DC Tundra 4WD. Just refreshed the suspension with Rancho quicklifts and rear shocks (both the RS9000XLs), and a rear 1.5" Rancho block kit. Rides great on setting 5. I don't *think* I have any rubbing on the 275/70R17 KO2s it came with, but maybe at extreme steering and travel...
Yep, they are all like this. It's not an actual issue with the engine. Oil pressure at idle is something like 4.3 psi, you should be at 1/4 at cruise, and it should increase with revs. You'll also notice it's higher on cold starts until the oil heats up. Keep the oil changes with the recommended...
