You are a lifesaver! I just tried this and it worked! My antenna now auto-retracts/extends and the manual controls work as well! Thank you so much!!! I was FINALLY able to take it through the car wash without fear of breaking the antenna!!! WOOHOO!!!
Dad backed into a flatbed and creased his upper/lower rear hatches beyond repair. His is a 2007 and needs a replacement set which supports the newer style spoiler. Let me know what you have! Thanks!
So the reason for the low oil pressure reading was the Royal Purple that was in there before. After I put in T5, the pressure gauge showed "normal" readings. It's been fine ever since.
The stumble is also gone :) I dunno what happened there but just driving it around fixed it. Using a scangauge...
The seep is almost certainly the valve cover. If the head gasket was leaking you'd know it. I don't know any shops near you but in SF I have a VERY reputable shop. It's called Toy Shop. He's the best mechanic in San Francisco IMO. Long wait list, though. Was there today and his earliest...
Hey! Welcome to the club! The decision to run T5 was a good one. Engine runs like a top and any previous oddities are no longer apparent. I have about 1k miles on it since changing the oil and there is no loss and it's still golden colored. The truck drives like it's new. You won't regret it...
Power came back on so I immediately jumped in the car and drove up. Cruiser fired up right away. Moisture.
Thanks for the help everyone!. Never leaving it here again. Need to deal with the musty smell and deep clean the s*** out of it.
After watching a ton of videos I'm nearly conviced it has to do with the distro/coil not working due to moisture. I watched this video and the symptoms are identical to what I had, including the puttering at the end. Granted my distro cap doesn't look THAT bad but I bought a new one and a rotor...
Hmm. The FPR on my cruiser is only a few years old. Not ruling it out, but on Saturday it would fire up immediately after the engine was hot. Wouldn't a faulty FPR have the opposite results of what I'm experiencing?
Hey folks, a bit on an odd situation. Long one here. My cruiser has been sitting in Sonoma county under a car cover for about 6 months unused (I know, horrible, but I have had nowhere closeby to keep it.) Anyways, yesterday after cranking it for a while it started rough, but started. I pulled...
I know you posted a while ago, but there is a site selling reproduction badges that are customizable to your unique number. 40th Anniversary Center Console Decal (Badge) -...
I did end up changing it with Rotella T5 and a Toyota oil filter. It made a world of difference. The engine overall feels smoother and quieter. Almost as if previously parts were not being lubricated properly. Also, the stumble magically disappeared. I wonder if it might have been bad gas or...
