No doubt. Thanks for the search, @wngrog. Very helpful and I'm sure I'll start hearing all those noises...

Can you point me to some resources on the transmission issue in the 2000s? I need to be on the lookout for mine at 176k miles.

I have a damaged sending unit plug. Did anyone locate a part number or is it part of an entire wiring harness?

The fluid, puddle, and smell/sound checks will be reinforced. He's grown up with me maintaining high mileage Toyotas so he's on top of that as well as a college kid can be.

He's at UVA. I'm already scanning the VA clubs for local resources. We have roadside via Geico that we've used frequently for a Volvo. Should I look into AAA as well or to replace?

Agreed. It was late so I didn't list our summer PM project items. We are going through it on weekends and will take it to Moseley for anything over my head. It's been well maintained mechanically with maintenance items but the timing belt is due so I listed that. Cooling system was replaced 10k...

Sorry I had to go out of town this week. Are you around this weekend? Do you happen to have lug nuts too?

But send me a PM as I'd like to see them. I have a set of 18 Tundras that I might sell if these work better.

I have tires. Don't keep them on for me.

Wow is right. Just saw a Pacific Blue in my hood up here in Memphis this morning. Need to check it out.
