I am replacing the original Goodyear tires and am looking for
recommendations.  Having had two Camrys before this, I was very
disappointed in handling during even light to moderate snow.  Our
driveway is a bit steep and with just a half-inch of snow, the

I recently cot my totally stock '03 tacoma serviced with a little less
than 42k miles on it and they said the power steering pump was leaking
and needed to be replaced.  This will be the third one!! I read some
topics about an '01 having the same issue a few years back.  Clearly

Can anyone give me some data on the above. I've just bought it. It has a 3
litre Turbo diesel with an automatic gear box. Can't get my hands on a
manual. The drivers handbook just covers the interior and cab instruments.
How many mpg can I expect -

Is there an easy way to fix this.  It looks hard to get at.  I'm pretty sure
anyways that my rad fan is loose as it's been making a lot of noise,
wobbling, and continuing to spin after the truck is stopped.

This is most often caused by loose or corroded battery treminal
connections. If these are ok, it is usually the ignition wire going
from the ignition harness(behind the ignition switch) to the start

Has anyone had any luck keeping their CD player working? The player in my
'95 4Runner is flat refusing to play CD's. Is there any adjustment or
cleaning that can be done to get it working? I'm not above tearing it apart.

Does anybody know the correct orientation for a thermostat on a 20R engine?
In other words does the spring end of the thermostat go towards the
cylinderhead/engine block (down) or towards the radiator (up)?
Thanks for any help.

Any one get the letter which was supposed to be out in mid-sep on the steering rod (connector piece?)   I'm original owner and haven't moved -- yet to receive the recall notice.

Or I should say, Toyota CD player will not play cd's. I have a '95 4Runner
with the double tall cd/cassette/stereo. It has all but stopped playing
cd's. They will load and spin but, only play when it feels like. Anyone know
of a cure? The Sony PS2 used to have the same problem ...

the exhaust broke, the fuel system leaked, the spring dropped on the tire,
and the frame rotted! Of course, all this couldn't happen BEFORE the swap.
So, 22R-E, fits 1985 to 1997. 160,000 miles chain replaced at ...

I have a 1986 Yota 4x4 on a 1980 yota chassis, strait axles of course.  It's
lifted pretty good and has 35's on it.  Needless to say, I did a Buick 231
swap.  Luckily I had two motors, cause I ended up throwing a rod on the
first one...  I am having a wicked problem keeping it cool. ...

Have an '87 4x4 pickup that every once in awhile will not start in park(auto
tranny, of course). When it does this I can crawl under the truck and simply
touch the neutral start switch and get back in and it'll fire up and give no
problems for awhile, however it never starts in ...
