That's what shop rags are for :D
I did finally look in the tech FAQ, and found out alot about the PHH.
Me thinks it's time I spend some time looking through the old threads and FAQ's, lots of good stuff there!
Thanks, that's a pretty tame description, I'm sure there are some more colorful terms for that hose ;)
Did they put the oil filter in a less than desireable location like the 3.0 V-6 truck motor, or is it hopefully easier to get at?

I did use the search function, but while I see the TLA of PHH used many times, everyone seems to know what it is, so the device is never spelled out. I did figure out it is something in the cooling system/line, but what it is, I know not.

Thanks!
I've been a fairly long time Toyota user, '93 3.0 4-runner, '94 3.0 xtra-cab 4X4 truck and a 2000 rav-4 (wifes car, don't laugh ;) )
Anyhow, I've been looking at my options for my truck to make it more suitable to towing my boat, but I keep coming up with it just doesn't have enough engine...
