    Busted ignition - ignition cylinder rod replacement

    Just an update. I ended up taking mine to the local guy who takes care of my vehicles. After a lot of foul language, they finally fixed this problem, and sounds like busted a few other parts along the way. Something to do with the airbag system. No extra cost to me, but a few days in the shop +...

    Busted ignition - ignition cylinder rod replacement

    PHD, did you get this re-installed and working?? I have this problem this evening, and can see myself ending up like you. Mostly done, but still with a broken truck...

    Droopy Rear Window Wiper

    Quick update for everyone. I pulled the wiper off, and the shaft clearly had splines -- at one point. The wipes arm does not appear to have ever had splines, so it may have been from another type of vehicle. Anyway the whole thing has worked fine for years, so I assume I'm just going to...

    Droopy Rear Window Wiper

    OK I must be stupid. On my '99 LX I don't see a plastic cover or hatch. I see a metal cover surrounding the shaft, 90 degree, and spring tension - then another metal piece which is the arm. Could someone post a pic of the "cover" TIA!!

    Timing Belt Service Done - I think the price was fair

    Here in NC, I have had quotes from $1200-$1600 -- including independents. May be cheaper for me to drive to a different location, spend the night and drive home!

    Replacing Front Drivers Side Turn Lamp, LX470

    Last post from me on the subject: Marker light remains on always -- whether turn signal on or off. Rear same side, blinks rapidly...

    Replacing Front Drivers Side Turn Lamp, LX470

    UPDATE!! OK, the reason I was after the turn signal (marker) bulb, was that I have the common fast blink. My belief was that is an indication of a blown bulb. I have now replaced the bulb without a fix. Driving home from the auto parts store, I think that the front signal light was never on...

    Replacing Front Drivers Side Turn Lamp, LX470

    Hi guys, I tried to search this topic, and I must have missed something. My guess is that this is so easy, no thread was needed. How do you get at the bulb? I can see the harness from inside the wheel well, but can't get access to the bulb. Any help is appreciated...

    Timing Belt Replacement Questions

    I was just quoted $1400 from the 3rd party Toyota shop I take it to. I'm now at 104K. Need to do it before 120 to keep my mind off of it.

    AHC Problems

    I haven't had a chance to play with it yet. My wife admitted she could have possibly hit the button while trying to put on the hazards. I agree its way to easy to engage that lock. Anyone know what would happen if you pushed ot on the highway? I hope it has a a set of electronic parameters that...

    AHC Problems

    Well I have an update. It turned out to be the CDL. Apparently it was engaged without any indicator lights. So, the good news is that it just cost me $84 for diagnosis and remedy. Too bad I didn't mess with it myself to try to dis-engage it as I thought about that as a cause. Glad my wife wasn't...

    AHC Problems

    I'm wondering if it would even be throwing codes, since there is no idiot light or any indication that the truck thinks there is something wrong?

    AHC Problems

    Pilot, Unfortunately not. The cul-de-sac is level, and I've driven out of my driveway thousands of times. This is an extreme situation and repeatable anywhere driving slowly and turning the wheels. Low is right on the bump stop, high is as high as it will extend up. It looks and feels like a...

    AHC Problems

    Hey guys, its been a while. Ok, I'm having AHC problems on my wife's truck today. Just happened. I've done a search, and I don't find anything similar. Hopefully I'm not a guinnea pig on this one. When I turn the wheels to the right -- moving very slowly in the cul-de-sac -- the passenger side...

    Exhaust modifications--your results

    Many on this board, as spresso indicated, have tried to improve the exhaust system only to find that what they had assumed was a so-so system was actually an extremely well designed system. Any changes seemed to be neutral to negative relative to improvement on the stock system.

    Starter Contacts: Failure Warning?

    I had plenty of warning. Probably 3 weeks (though could be more since my wife "didn't tell you, because it only happened like 5 or 6 times"). When it finally died, I sat there for a few minutes and just cranked the key on and off rapidly. It eventually fired up. That was the suggestion from my...
