    Changing oil right now..a tale of two filters

    Hello guys, I am changing my oil and bought a Toyota oil filter 90915-YZZD3 and it is tiny compared to the Napa 21515 filter. The Napa filter looks like it goes on a Caterpillar bulldozer and the Toyota is literally "cute" next to it. The seal looks to match but the capacity is way different...

    Radiator went out...

    at the seam at the front of the tank. Should I repair a stone age radiator at a shop and will it be as good as new or just buy a new one from Toyota? I am looking at $300 for the radiator plus hoses or whatever it will cost to repair it. I am not Daddy Warbucks at this time due to the master...

    Is the heater cable adjustable?

    It is like the wire itself is too short. It limits the movement so it cant close or open all the way. Thanks

    Lost my brakes.

    I was driving home and the truck would hiss when braking. I knew some thing was up with the pedal also and the back brakes would lock up if I pumped the pedal. Long story short. I pulled in to a apt. complex and did a no flashlight inspection, the small resivoir that is closer to the driver is...

    Jack options?

    I never ever want to use the bottle jack again. Screw that, russian roulette with a semi auto would seem safer. I am going to pop the top soon and cant carry the OEM tools and jack because they will walk off and find a new home. I was thinking of one of those cheap Alum. hydraulics. What do...

    Transfer case leak questions.

    If you have the seal leak where it pumps the gear oil in to the tranny does the gear oil go back to the transfer case when the truck is sitting in the driveway? It seems my T case is always full or should I say over filled when I check it. I have a bypass hose to connect the two and I am...
