Is the wiper motor still available?

Well, I'm still in the middle of a HG replacement and have yet to discover the true origin of my leak despite my greatest, albeit sporadic efforts. When I got down to the old gasket a mechanic buddy and myself determined there to be no evidence whatsoever of any leaking from the gasket or the...

Is this still available?

Looking for a clean head to replace mine. Shop found a crack @ #2. This one has 236xxx on it fwiw.

Windshield still available?

BILT4ME, I asked the shop if it was possibly a freeze plug and they explained to me that they narrowed the squirting coolant down to the seem between the head and the block, and it's definitely the head gasket. Said it was visually unmistakable. I have not been able to look myself.

Thanks for the lead. I am going to call the shop and suggest this while it's still there. I scanned the "freeze plug" threads that came up on a quick Google search and notice there are a number of folks who have experienced this on one of the driver's side freeze plugs on the block (also...

Confirmed: head gasket blown out externally on rear of #6 cylinder. The shop used a probe and figured it out rather quickly. It squirts coolant until it has warmed up a bit. Here we go... Thank you all for the advice. It has helped me form an action plan. Hopefully in the coming months we'll be...

Rear heater had been bypassed by one or another PO. Awaiting return of truck from shop in order to obtain and post pics of said bypass per Gummycarbs' request. So upon reading another thread I noticed some folks talking about residual coolant finally rusting it's way out of the lines and...

Thanks for the quick reply! Feeling better already. Will do as soon as I have truck back from shop. Probably Thursday. Knew I should have been taking pics all the while... I learned of this in the general sense at the end of my PHH saga at which point it was time to fly and no more time to...

A few clarifications: Most importantly I forgot to mention; had the AC charged (first time since owning) in VA last week and blasted ice cold 5hrs back to WNC. Went up to the Parkway the next day with gf and dog and the she noticed that the pass. Floor was soaking (and of course I just put the...

Hi all, first Toyota, first time posting, have been reading MUD, mostly 80 series tech threads instead of books since I bought Chrundle in Oct. '18. I'll do my very best to stick to the pertinent facts (EDIT: In review I failed that last sentence so skip to end to avoid verbose back story)...
