I sell the Arturo tires. They are a great tire for the budgets folks. The only complaints I have are for guys who use them on heavy diesels or modified diesels.

When you say it sounds louder, do you mean it sounds like your cooling fan is locked up and not allowed to slow down at cruising speed? With your car off open your hood and see if your cooling fan will free spin or if it is really hard to turn. If the fan clutch wont let the fan slow down then...

Have you lifted the vehicle in the air to make sure all wheel turn freely. You could have a locked up caliper that is causing the sluggishness due to more more to turn the wheel. Just a thought.

Or try car-parts.com. Then maybe you can get one already painted your color. Plus they have all the other parts and you might get them cheaper and not have to have them shipped.

I've seen a few post lately about people looking for parts and figured i would share a few websites with y'all. The first is basically a junk yard parts locator and the second is more of salvage cars for auction. The second website isn't for most but I figured it could come in handy for those...

Hope this helps

Sorry I wasn't trying to come across in a bad way. I just always see these post about change or not to change. Trust me I'm in the auto service industry I see it all the time. If your in doubt about changing a fluid ask to see the fluid and why they want to change it out. If it comes down to...

I don't get it. So your saying you change your oil at the recommended 5k per some synthetics or 7500 or even some at 25k but when the company recommends changing say power steering fluid or trans fluid or even brake fluid you don't cause nothing seems wrong the system? I change my oil ever 5k...

Got me all worked up on the power steering flushes I forgot about the fuel services. I would pass on them and go with what everybody else says and pass on them and use seafoam. Unless you run poor gas through your engine most gasolines use their own cleaner that keeps the lines clean as well...

Why is everyone bashing the power steering flush. While your car might not need it now, isn't it just like any other fluid that thins out or get s dirty over time. So you are telling me that if you look at your engine oil at 5k or 10k and its not dirty your not going to change it? Power...

Also check around the cabin air filter vent or fresh air vent outside to make sure the drains arent clogged. Pull your cabin air filter and check to see if it is wet. Have you had the front winshield replaced? keep us posted.

Make sure if you have an independent shop do it that they torque everything down correctly. T4R are picky about the wheels being torqued down too tight causing the feeling of warped rotors. Depending on you driving style and area you live in I would recommend toyota OEM pad or better like EBC...

Here is an article about spark plugs. hope this makes things make sense. I got this from Cars Direct "Many people come to the point where they are forced to change the spark plugs on their vehicle and face a difficult decision; copper spark plugs or those of another type? You can find spark...

Any updates on what the dealer said.

I think you will be safe with just the switch. The switch sends a signal to the motor as well as a voltage to run the motor. If the motor is running then the motor works. The switch it what times the motor to stop. At least this is how the 03 and newer ones work. I had the same issue on my...
