I read somewhere that the timing belt needs to be changed every 60,000
miles. I just bought a used 99 4Runner but I don't know how long ago the
belt was replaced (it has 100,000 miles now) ? Does it cause engine damage
if it breaks ? Should I just replace it now to be on the safe ...

Hey all,
A friend has a 82 Toyota Truck 4x with a 22R Gas & Carb that has
developed a set of issues that I believe are related, but I can't tie
em together.

Just bought a 04 Tundra 4x2 Double Cab. Wow what a great truck, very happy
with it so far.
I'm curious about the alarm options out there. Are there any good
alternatives to the dealer installed ($ 900.00 ) system? Aftermarket or OEM,

Will the '05 Tacoma be available with a V8?

I got an 04 Tundra SR5 4WD regular cab in July and love it (best vehicle
I've ever owned) but I do have a couple of questions:
1. in reading posts to the group, I've seen mentions of changing the timing
belt at 60,000 - 70,000 miles. Is this a problem with Toyotas and, if so,

Does anyone know if it's possible to lower the fast idle speed on a 3.4 in a
2002 Tacoma?  Every time I start the engine, regardless of engine temp, the
engine idles at about 1700 rpm, then slowly comes back to normal idle speed.
Thanks for any info.

I would really appreciate it if anyone familiar with this particular
vehicle could contact me off-list, so that I might pick their brain on
aspects regarding various questions I have. Would appreciate it greatly.

History;
Ok, the deal with my oil leak is that its been pretty persistent for about
four years now. I havent payed much attention to it other than putting about
a quart in every 300 miles or so. Now i want to fix it. I have gone through

Back in 2001, I bought a Toyota Highlander V6 Limited.  A big reason being
that it had AWD (all wheel drive) and I had just moved to the lake effect
snow ridden area of northern Indiana/southwest Michigan.  The Highlander has
VSC (vehicle stability control) and ABS (anti-lock ...

Can I put a1982 22r outta my 82 shortbox  in my 1986 shortbox.
My 86 is blowing oil into my air cleaner and getting all over the motor,must
be toast?

I thought I saw something in 2003 about a killer 2 door FJ coming out in
2005.  You guys hear anything as to when that will be (if ever) available?

How does one find out by the VIN if TSBs apply to your truck?
Is there a website? I haven't found these to be freely available on the
Toyota website.
Thanks,

Is there any truth to the rumor that oil relocation kits may be/are harmful
to your engine?
A few months ago I installed a Perma-Cool relocation kit on my 2000 Toyota
4-Runner 3.4L and everything went fine. I would add an additional halfpint

Can I get and and replace the gasket or o-ring on the oil pressure
sender unit?  Does it even have one?  Or do I have to buy a whole new
oil pressure sender unit?  Mine's leaking oil, don't want to drain the
oil right now just to see if the thing has an o ring.

Has anyone replaced a manual transmission with an automatic one on a 1999
4Runner with 4 cylinders? If so, can you tell me if it was worth the effort.
I would like to do it for the convenience, but, I know the manual
transmission might be a little stronger.
