I've been using Mobilith SHC 221 for years - NLGI1 synthetic grease from Mobil, exactly what the book calls for the spindle needle bearings.
For other applications you may look into XHP Series: XHP 222 and XHP 222 Special (with Molybdenum salt).
Also, Chevron Delo ES is a fantastic general...
Just curious: Toyota has 2 different part numbers for 2002 and 2004 in my case. CSF has the same 3006 for both. Any insights? Do they fit as well as the original. From my past experience there is always something with the aftermarket, e.g. hose diameter, etc.
Btw, I have ordered all clamps for...
Hello,
I have a choice of those two in my case, the same price. Have no experience with the latest crop. I recall there was a part number for Toyota mad in Mexico or somewhere else where they are not burdened with the environmental regulations, but I can't find it anymore. It also used to be...
For Mexico the 90W straight gear oil would be ideal, but any oil would be fine, that is 75W-90, 80W-90, etc. I am talking about the diffs. The transfer case is 75W-90 by the book. I have used once 75W-140 from Red Line for all three just because that was the only oil available to me at the place...
Hello,
Does anyone use the EFB type of battery for some time please?
I currently have a Duralast Gold regular flood battery, it never let me down in 7 years. OTOH, I put my cars on charger every week.
I have Optimate and CTEK chargers.
I have read enough to avoid discussions on the merits of...
Yes, please. Cannot find those 'plates' for some reason
I found 2004 calipers:
47730-60101 Rear Right, goes by CYLINDER ASSEMBLY, REAR DISK BRAKE, RIGHT
47750-60101 Rear Left
47715-60010 upper pin
47715-60020 lower pin
04479-60250 rear caliper repair kit (2004)
Anyone could help me with the rear pad support plates please? Can not find them.
Also, what would be the correct part number for the rear caliper assembly?
My local parts guy is as clueless as I am, every time get sets me up, there is always a part or two to be added later.
I do ATF full swap at Kuni every 60-80 thousand miles, the only thing I do there. Thank you for the Atomic reference. there is also a garage for rent in Tigard, Hourly rates..
We just had an Airstream stolen right off the driveway with the crew-cab pickup attached to it. Another Denali stolen just a block away from this one on the same day. Sounds like Cartel jobs.
That's actually bad. Anyone driving professionally can confirm this. The only LEDs I installed are the red map lights. You may want to read about cones and rods in our eyes. At first, the cheap LEDs seem "better" though. Properly engineered and executed ones, with continuous spectrum are good...
