I have an '89 4 runner w/ 22-RE 4cyc, auto, and about 160k miles. The
truck has always been very reliable. For some reason as the
temperature started dipping (near freezing) last fall, I started
having some difficulty starting. First try it just

I'm about to do my first oil change on a 2005 V8 Tundra.  All other
vehicles I've had/have with a drain plug gasket have a torque spec (Saab
was 42 ft/lbs!).
Does Toyota publish a spec or is it just good-n-tite?

I'm thinking of buying a 2006 Tacoma and like to change my own oil.  As I
understand it, when the oil needs to be changed a servivce reminder light is
displayed on the dash.  If I change the oil, how do I reset the light?

Anyone recommend a place to buy the factory service manual for my 06
4Runner? I'm looking for recommendations with places you've dealt
with...not just a list of places that they can be purchased. Any
recommendations?

While looking under the hood (and in the owners manual for that matter)
I don't see a dipstick for the tranny fluid.  I have the V6 and don't
see one nor do I see any mention of it in the owners manual.  What gives?

I posted some time back about my 05 DC with the vibration in the
driveline after driving on a long trip (over 50 miles). I called
customer service and they opened a file on my truck. I took it in this
week and they kept it 3 days with no phone call. I called this afternoon

Greetings from one of the many long-time lurkers.  I finally have a question
that I hope is worthy of your time.
I have an '89 truck, 4WD, 3.0L V6 with a dead water pump.  The local Toyota
dealer has two different types of replacement water pumps for this model

My 86 Toyota wouldn't start the other day, took it to the shop and they
said I need to replace the fuel pump and filter, as there is no
pressure in the tank.  I just replaced the tank and the gas lines last
year due to a leak and strong smell.  I feel that the shop may be

Guys, have a 97 Tacoma 2WD with stock shocks after 100k miles and was
wanting to see if getting different shocks would give a little
softer/smoother ride.  Don't get me wrong though, the ride as it is, is
not that rough. I have heard good info about the Bilstien's for the

I test drove an 06 Tacoma the other day and liked it a lot.
Consumer Reports says that the driving position is too low.
Is it really too low, or CR just blowing hot air?
(I didn't notice it during the test drive; maybe it could be a little

I have a corolla at the moment and will eventually get myself a tacoma.
I am not a big truck fan but  I will need one to haul things that cannot
fit in a corolla. Tacomas are the only trucks that I have seen  that are
small  and yet sporty enough that grabs my attention.  I am ...

Hi folks.  I'm hoping someone can tell me their solution to my problem.
I had my '94 4Runner (V6) in for the relay rod recall and the service
writer said they could fix a leak in my steering pump for $382.12 + tax
(for rebuilding the pump).  Instead I invested $40.00 and bought a

I would like to fix my 87 runner, its really a nice ride, top off and
in good shape, but it has a big problem, the pillar that holds the
windshield in is rusted totally.
I took a grinder to it a few years ago to fix it, but found it went all
