Having dealer service history is a plus. But if I were to buy another Hundy, I would much prefer buying from one of the DIY expert owners on this forum, or a truck with major work/upgrades done by one of the highly recommended indie shops/gurus on this forum. Their work quality, knowledge and...
Hi, nice rig! 😍 Sorry I don't have specific recs for the NC/SC/VA region. But there are possibly some experienced shops in Charleston as that's where I saw the highest number of Hundys in a city per day ever 😍 Both like-new stock ones and highly modified ones.
Do you happen to know of any...
Since someone mentioned earlier that they change oil whenever it becomes "dirty", I'm curious, on average, at what mileage (within one oil change interval) is the oil supposed to turn dark (say for a 250k-mile healthy engine)? Does your oil get pretty dark after 3000-ish miles after changing, or...
Is Blackstone Lab's recommended interval trustworthy enough as a highly scientific source? (i.e. By adhering to their recommended interval since bought new, and getting oil samples analyzed by them every a few oil changes, and assuming all other maintenance items/schedules are strictly kept up...
In Car Care Nut's video below, he listed the UZ series (including the 2UZ-FE 4.7L) as the Best Toyota engines ever made. But the 3UR-FE (5.7L) was only in the honorable mentions due to its issues he frequently works on. It sounds like he only thinks the 4.7L as the million-mile engine, not the...
Is the Mobil1 Extended Performance 5w30 (which claims to be good for 20k miles interval) really good for 20k miles (provided Mobil1 oil filter is used)? Or do people still keep 10k-mile interval even if this oil is used?
(Link to Walmart ad)...
If I just leave the OD on (just use the default setting), and manually shift to the 4th gear (on a 5-speed auto) when climbing up hills or merging to highway, would that work equally well?
If my TPMS light has been blinking due to sensor(s) out of battery, can I just leave it blinking without doing anything until next tire replacement in a year? (I check my tire pressure regularly with a tire gauge.)
Can this hurt dash light circuitry or any other control board?
In a recent video from the Car Care Nut, he mentioned that if the battery light stays on, it's almost certain that the alternator is the problem, rather than the battery itself.
I told the Lexus/Toyota reps at Overland Expo East that most Cruiser fans prefer the split hatch esp. for camping, and along with the Hundy's armrest are some of our favorite features, and asked if they can help provide this customer feedback to the management. He laughed and said I was one of...
Would M1 209/301 filter be an overkill over the smaller M1-102A if my oil change interval is 10k miles (with M1 EP oil)?
Larger filter is heavier and makes it more likely for me to make a mess during removal 😂 (Have an aftermarket skid plate which makes access hard).
Sorry, I meant to emphasize 5sp Auto vs. 5sp Manual trans 😅. Both 4sp and 5sp auto works fine.
The point is I can't stand driving a manual for offroading.
Though for desert crossing in extreme heat, manual can avoid trans overheating better than auto.
