I have a hest and a exped megamat. I like them both. The mega mat got a small leak around fill port once, but easily fixed with mattress glue. The megamat probably wins out, I like sleeping pretty firm. Megamat I’ll use on my cold truck bed it holds in more heat.
Re: common mileage to replace AHC accumulators.
As always, MUD with lot of good information. At what mileage are most people noticing deterioration in the ride quality?
I have a 2011 LX with 145k miles and noticed the ride is a bit more harsh than I’d expect (wife’s car I don’t drive it much)...
That doesn’t seem like an efficient fix unless it’s leaking from head gaskets also. I paid my friend $800 to do it at his shop and no issues. I’d take it to another dealer and see what they say. Maybe that dealer got burned on a repair and want to cover themselves more. Also, the repair time...
I’m pretty sure I have a port installed remote start on my 2011 LX (sticker on side window, and build sheet state it has it). It doesn’t work with the 2 clicks, and long 3rd click on key fob. Does this mean, in need the Enform service for it to work?
I’ve got a 1996 that’s full built, 5.29s, brand new 37’s, scs wheels, RCV’s axles, 4x4 labs bumpers, factory locked front and rear, some nice parts on it. It’s has miles, but has top end rebuilt and runs great. I’m not listing it for sale publicly right now. Asking $22k, save yourself a bunch of...
You are probably right, once the car is in the bay and hood open. When I worked at dealer, the fast techs seem to beat book time by about half on mechanical tasks. So if it’s an hour to remove, hour to replace… thats 4 hours book time for an intake by that logic.
I got some information today.
Independent shop $1600 labor (12 hours I’m guessing), $2000 with parts
Toyota dealer $800-ish all included (6 hours I’m guessing)
A technician friend - about 8 hours.
It sounds like there is not a straight book time for this repair. The intake is 4-5 hours I...
I’m working on it right now. Will update. It seems like a tedious day job. But I wouldn’t be surprised if a fast tech does it in 4-5 hours. So 8-10 hours is probably fair.
