This is super helpful info. Your bolded statement is what gave me some confidence that charging wasn't involved but I'll still perform the more comprehensive load test - thank you. I always assumed the battery gauge was as "fuzzy" as the temperature gauge but since I've been staring at it for...

Wow! Is this real? Great photo

Thanks! I was able to test EA and EB (both 0 Ohms) but couldn't locate EC. Will try again today. 14.6V I think you're right. My quick check wasn't thorough and when I came back is when I realized I could move it by hand. I also tightened down the battery hold down and a tear in the tray has me...

The battery terminals weren't corroded at all...leads actually looked fine too. I could rotate the Positive if I put a little force which is what prompted me to try and reconnect. I also forgot to post the multimeter read 14.x Volts while running so perhaps alternator is ok. I have verified...

Nice wet and stormy day for some driveway fixin. Anywho after reading 12.6V, I decided to remove the battery cables and reinstall my trickle charger leads just in case I'd need them. I brushed the terminals, reconnected everything, and gave it a crank - it works. I'm working solo so hooked up...

Thanks for the responses and oops, I should have made the title "No Crank" since I'm getting nothing - not even start up lights anymore. I tested the battery with a multimeter and am reading 12.6V...I'm thinking next step will be checking connections and fuses. Thank you @Brindleboxer for...

Hey all - had a no crank Thursday morning and starting this thread to gather my thoughts, so I can look into it tonight or Saturday morning. Truck has been running fine and is generally in good shape. Replaced the battery and fusible links 3-4 months ago and done about 1500 miles since then...

I'd also be more interested in this 250 if there was an EV mode for day-to-day, even 25 miles range. It's one of the things holding me back.

Interesting I hadn't heard that about the washable filter either. And come to think of it, I didn't clean it out on my last oil change. Will try cleaning it before my next sample, maybe that's why my lead level was slightly elevated... Thanks, that makes a lot of sense.

I'm in the market for new tires. I tried finding OEM wheels but gave up and it sounds like my 4Runner Trail Edition wheels (17") will give me more tire options... In either case, I currently have BFG K02's (LT265/70R17). Tread is fine but they are older (except the spare I added which is...

Thanks noticed the new page after I posted (oops), looks like a good system.

It looks like only the brackets are for sale now? In either case, does stuff not slide forward when you brake if not a tight fit? And how much space is there between shelf and headliner, about 5-6 inches?

I saw a picture of a filter taken apart and with an easily visible speck of metal. I'm not sure how they took it apart but trust them as they were trying to chase down the sound (that since disappeared). I purposely only did 1,500 miles before changing the oil myself and used a Toyota filter...

Hi all - Could I get some feedback on this report please? I had an intermittent sound during winter, my shop couldn't pinpoint it but noticed some metal in the filter on an oil change. Recommended doing another one and sending for a report. So I changed the oil and here's the analysis. Let me...

Man I think may have this problem...I opened my glove box while driving to get a parking pass and found a bunch of insulation and chewed up blue shop towel. Super confused how whatever it was got in there. I think I see some tiny droppings in my driver door panel where I keep trash until I fill...
