    Power window issue

    I've always treated the drivers window the same as the others when programming...all the way up and hold 3-5, all the way down, hold 3-5. Never did the drivers side 1/2 down not using auto.

    Driveline Vibrations - 23 GX

    Yup, those are the good ones. That's all I've got that Red hasn't already detailed. Good luck

    Driveline Vibrations - 23 GX

    I had never had problems with acorn lug nuts on my GX, but bought my wife one and replaced stock with new wheels and tires and picked up a vibration. Chased it for weeks. Finally decided to get road force balancing (which can solve vibration issues on chunky off-road tires that even perfectly...

    04 GX470: Crank-No Start

    Have you tried a different key? Could be a simple immobilizer chip issue.

    GX470 Not Starting. Blown engine?

    I'm with SteveH on this as well. When I read your description, my mind goes to a starter malfunction (bendix failing to disengage causing the grinding/scraping noise). This condition can also draw on your battery. This will lead to a total starter failure. I suppose there could be damage to...

    Air conditioner driver side not working right

    It was hard for me to believe that a slight under- charge could cause the driver's side to not blow cool even though the passenger side was fine. Didn't make sense to me at all. I did a lot of reading and a lot of troubleshooting and finally added refrigerant from Walmart. Problem went away...

    Clogged engine block coolant drains?

    Mine were just like you're talking about. Like the gentleman above said, I pulled mine completely off and cleaned the elbow tube with dental picks and reinstalled. Problem solved for me.

    What liquid is this?

    Be careful friend, it looks like brake fluid to me. What platform is that? Is that a KDSS rig ? I don't recognize that as a 120 front end but I'm unfamiliar with KDSS.

    Engine Bay Pictures (non-VVTI)

    I see you, friend. Like mine (both of them), there are a LOT more VVTi specimens than not. Also, your pristine engine bay may be making some folks ashamed to lift their hoods, lol. I'm willing to send pics of my VVTi if you think it may help, but assume your request is specific for a...

    ABS / Brake Light Issue

    That happened to me on my 2nd gen Tundra. It was the brakelight switch adjustment. Not broke, but out of mechanical adjustment. I guess after a bunch of hair trigger on/off cycles while bouncing down the road would throw the code/dummy lights. It was stupid easy to adjust. I bet when you...

    New to me GX470

    Just sounds like flat spots to me...38 degrees will hold a flat spot for a decent amount of time till warmup, especially if it had been sitting for a few days. Also, I've become very fond of "road force" balancing on offroad tires. It costs a little more, and most tire shops aren't equipped...

    Sunroof - dedicated fuse?

    I've not had that situation (yet, lol) but my instinct would be figuring out how to get behind the roof liner and unplug the motor. There's no chance that would interfere with any other systems like so many of our multi-role fuses.

    New to me GX470

    That button is used to assign a second full set of tires (winter/studded for example) so airing down the spare should still work. McDuff is right about the "second start" feature, but I believe you are talking about the small round TPMS button under the steering wheel, correct?

    New proud owner but no key - can I avoid the dealer?

    I've used the 1010keys Ebay store several times. They will cut a key from photographs. The fobs can be programmed with an OBD devise that they sell as well. It's cheaper and easier than it may sound.
