It's a very simple switch. Cleaning mine fixed the light. I took a picture of the part number for the rubber seal which was just a couple of dollars.

Antifreeze is what, 12-13 bucks a gallon ? This is the time to shoot the parts cannon at it and replace the PHH and all the little nagging hoses on the engine. You'll be in well under 200 bucks total and you won't have to worry about it for another 20 years. Have you priced what replacing a...

I was not able to find a set of steelies in my area using Cragislist and Facebook and all the sale sites. I wound up just buying new. The reason I went with steel is simply for appearance. I like the more rugged look and also a steel wheel without center caps exposes the hubs giving a more...

I'd spend the money on a new formed one from Toyota. It's a well made hose, and these are not throw away trucks. After that you shouldn't have to replace it for another two or three decades. The cost really isn't that much when parlayed over that time span. As expensive as antifreeze is, a leak...

That's a good price. I use Norwalk Toyota (vendor here).

The OEM is perfect fit and lasts for 25 years if treated with respect. You're looking at 110 dollars for a new one.

I believe you're thinking about C.W. McCall.

I have a Kenwood from Crutchfield. It does all the bluetooth phone stuff, streams music, etc. It's also friendly for my aging eyes with the big volume knob and buttons. It was a straight bolt in with their included wiring harness. Zero mods.

Preventative maintenance by replacing some tired old hoses under the hood with some new OEM.

Did you replace the cap when you put the radiator in ? That's the number one thing that causes a radiator to rupture. If the cap doesn't meter off the excess pressure, it overly strains the radiator.

I did mine yesterday. It wasn't too bad. I chose not to go through the fenderwell. The trick for me was removing the one bolt that holds the ignition coil and lay it aside which allowed me good access under the intake to get to the banjo bolts. Then I used a 3 foot extension to get to the...

It's still not completely clear what you're trying to convey. You said "the engine isn't spinning".... That implies that when you turn the key to start, all you hear is a clunk or similar noise. If so, you've got quite a bit deeper problems. Most likely you've spun a bearing and locked up the...

Sending PM now.

You'll love it. The Bowfin rack is nice.

My original 246k mile front oxygen sensor was responding pretty sluggish so I swapped in a new one. It wasn't bad enough to trigger a CEL yet, but it was quite slow to respond. Hopefully the increased cross counts will help mileage a bit too.
