Two questions: I need to a new e-brake cable (snapped close to the pull
thingy), new front calipers, new front brake pads / shims / rotors /
repack wheel bearings, free up the pivots (?), and I think I need to

the proper idle speed for all operating conditions. This is a good

Recently, while checking the oil and fluids on my '94 4Runner (V6), I
noticed a few drops of coolant had seeped out the top of the radiator.
I wiped off the coolant, and noticed that the black metal was now
brass looking, like the coolant had removed the paint.   I had seen

Some a.shole crankhead broke the passenger window of my brand new Tundra
last night and pried open the locked glove box.  In the process, the paint
on the door got scratched and the dash right at the top of the glove box has
a couple small pry marks.  Son of a BITCH!  The truck has ...

Hey guys,
I am looking to purchase a 1995 4runner, and was wondering about the timing
belt. )Drat, I thought only Honda's had that issue).  
I have had a couple of the Toyota Vans, and loved the reliablity. However,

I was going to change my Timing belt next week while I was on holidays since
it has 103,000 km (64,000 miles) on the belt.  The engine has 400,000 km
(250,000 miles) on it.  I guess I waited to long.  I pulled out to pass
someone on the highway and the timing belt blew.  I got it ...

My vacation starts Monday and this morning the damn check
motor light comes on.
The owners manual says take to Toyota dealer but doesn't say
urgent.

I have a 99 Tacoma Limited which means it came with a power antenna from the
factory. Well it finally gave out so I ordered one off of Ebay trying to
avoid the 140.00 the dealer wanted. My question is it has 3 wires a ground
and then 2 that connect to the radio. The manual shows ...

Hey Everyone,
I've driven nothing but Toyotas for the last 25 years and finally
decided to trade in the old corolla, which had 200K miles on it. I
decided to splurge and picked up a mint 2001 sr5 4Runner, gas prices be

Hi, I need to get the starter replaced in my '98 Tacoma. Anyone know of
a decent, reasonable mechanic in the Bay Area? Perferably in the Santa
Clara, Sunnyvale, Mountain View area. Thanks.... (alternatively, how
difficult is it to do it one's self?)

I am planning a stroker motor on a 22r. Somebody handed it to me. Not
the motors I normally rebuild,but help me out . What is the lenght of a
stock 22r rod. How do you adjust your deck height on these motors, is

Here's just a reminder out there to all you people who have ever strapped
something onto your Toyota.

This is a common fix I suppose, but I was just given some great advice
here in another matter, and wanted to give something back.
My A/C was only working on the highest speed so I figured I'd need a new
motor.  Turns out all I needed was a new blower resistor. My truck is a
