At's what I'm talkin' about Ed...I just knew there had to be a dual filament socket that would be a close fit. Cheap too!! And my lens is clear with the amber diffuser, so this should cover all bases... Occam's Razor wins again...

True that...hoping there might be a single bulb solution...

Yep...you are correct. It's all been a bit confusing but after much research and lots of feedback I now have a better understanding. I still may end up going the Dakota Digital route but I'll at least take this path to conclusion. Seems the only way to know is to remove the speedo sensor and...

This is a question I had been meaning to pose for my last couple of visits here...there's a thread currently active which I thought had beat me to it, but I see it's just the opposite of my intention, so in the interest of not taking it off on a tangent... What I would like to have is for my...

Getting closer...maybe... To all of you who have responded, my great thanks... I believe I am closer to the simplest, least expensive, least hassle solution...not sure though. A recap here, with new info... First, my vehicle: '99 Base model, 4cyl. Auto - NON-ABS - electronic speedo. Original...

rknToy...correct, it is a base model...no ABS...but my odometer IS digital, does this not mean that the entire speedo is digital (electric)? Are we talkin' apples-to-apples here? This is the simple, straightforward fix I'm hoping for if you are right...BTW, the truck does have cruise control if...

Checked my build sheet on the Toyota Owners Spec. site...my truck is non-ABS. As per your earlier reply, do you think it possible that there might simply be a correct speed sensor for the 2WD auto trans. / 16" tire combination?

Hey thanks bdNY...laughing here, just found that this morning and reading my build sheet. I've been calling my truck a "base" model, they refer to it as the "standard" model. I knew what the original tire size is...I'm trying to figure out the best way to correct the speedo after I install the...

Thanks Outrider, enjoy your truck's history and obvious bond...they are just machines but...well don't get me started on that... After I get the new tires on and deal with correcting the speedo (still researching that one) I intend to take it to a Toyo dealership I've had good experiences with...

Does anyone know if there is an identifier within the VIN which designates what size tires the vehicle was originally equipped with?

Thanks Brian...what's the skinny on the radiator failure? I have seen that come up before a couple of times, and also on a For Sale ad...internal failure, something that can't be detected by outside examination? Really appreciate the help...

All great stuff...plan on a thorough check out underneath as soon as practical. I do believe the struts / shocks are original, already shopping on those. Looking forward to many many miles of smiles...Thanks!!

phattyduck, you are correct...I may have plugged in an incorrect number. I use a cool site I was turned on to...tiresize.com...it's great for these changes. Gives you an excellent numeric and side-by-side visual comparison of two different sizes, as well as how much it will throw off the speedo...

Thank you, much appreciated

Finally over the "15" hump!... '99 Gen3 Base model 2WD 4cyl. Auto... After purchasing this truck my first priority was new tires. Just a city / highway truck, no offroading. What I immediately encountered was similar to my experience with a recently restored '92 Celica Convertible...very...
