Continued from my previous post....
So I have made enough mistakes of my own.  Now I would like to learn from
others.
I may drop a new/rebuilt engine in myself or have a shop that I trust do the

I just started looking into these K&N products and the immediate differences
I can see are that the 77 comes in the chrome-type finish and otherwise only
$2 difference from the 57.  This would be the first mod I have done to my
'99 PreRunner with the 3.4L V6 engine (88,000 mi) so I ...

Can anybody out there suggest some options for selectable differential
lockers that can be installed on a '99 4WD Tacoma? The ARB lockers sound
pretty good, but are there any aftermarket electric lockers available for
the Tacoma?

Does anyone know what makes a starter stick when it's very cold outdoors?
Everytime I start the engine the starter doesn't dis-engage. Even after I
shut it off it keeps on cranking for about 5-10 seconds before it stops,
then I can start the engine normally without any problem. I ...

I have a 96 4Runner with a manual transmission.  93K. 5sp 3.4L. Clutch is
original.   I bought it from the original owner and have a question about
the transmission.  Is it normal to only be able to engage first gear when
the truck is stopped?  I find that it will not go into 1st if ...

I've got an '87 PU, 2WD that just started to overheat. Coolant seems to be
good. Stays at a good temp. if I drive with the heat on all the time. Does
this seem like the thermostat has gone bad? Any other ideas if this isn't
it?

...but it's not burning brakes.
Driving down the highway yesterday, I noticed that smell that tell you that
you're behind someone who's got their parking brake on at 55mph. Really bad.
Got off the highway, right into 15mph traffic - too slow to really clear the

Looking for a source for traction bars and/or ladder bars to stop the axel
wrap on my '03 Tacoma 4X4. Any ideas?

fine. even when I engage it into 4 low it will chage the gearing but will
not kick the 4 wheels in... any sugestions would be great thanks ...

Over the past few months I've noticed a drop in gas mileage on my 1996
4Runner.  I keep maintenance up to date....check tire pressure every 2
weeks, recently replaced the plugs (with denso from the dealer), and rotate
the tires every 10k.  The truck runs fine but my gas mileage ...

I need to replace the 4" dash speakers in my 94 4X4 since the existing 15
watt's are thrashed.
I am looking for some higher end 2-way speakers that can handle the power my
Alpine head unit puts out.

I purchased some rims for my 03 tundra.  The tire pressure warning light is
on because the sensors would not fit into the new rims.  Does anyone know
how to disable this feature? Or will I have to take it to the dealer?
Thanks

I have an odd problem..
My truck has about 266,000 miles on it, and runs almost perfectly, except
recently it started "stuttering" when my foot is on the brake. More often
than not, when I have the brake applied, the engine idle drops suddenly to

My 93 4x4 with the 22R engine has a sticky gas pedal usually when it
sits overnight. i tap it once and then it free's up. do i need to clean
out my throttle body and if so can i and how would i do it myself.

Okay, here it is, start the 92 pick_up, squealing sound, squealing goes away
when I hit 30km, when turning corners at low speed squealing comes back,
starting from stop squeals again until 30km is hit. Definately getting
worse. Tension on all belts is good. When squealing I can ...
