I’m going to look it over again. It seems prone to coming on more frequently at highway speeds

So it seemed to do the trick the past 2 days. But now the light comes on sporadically.

I decided to run the bypass on my ‘08. I just didn’t see any reason to spend a chunk of change on 2 defective sensors. My tire gauge works just fine, and drivers have been using them for decades.

What kind of effort would it take, to do this myself? By the way, I had a great (albeit very hot) day fishing on the Chesapeake this past weekend. The charter took us up from Chesapeake Beach, to a few nm north of the Bay Bridge. We caught some nice stripers (ranging from 24"-35")

I have the exact same issue right now. I found out the hard way, when running out of gas going up an inclined street not too long ago. Did you replace the fuel sender/gauge? Or did you resolve it some other way? In the meantime, I fill-up now when the needle hits 1/4. I used to get about...

I have seen it dip below the Empty mark, too, while still running. This time, it seemed like the needle was still above E from my recollection. Do they still make and sell that gasoline product that is designed to be carried around in your vehicle for long periods of time but safely? I can't...

Mine used to come on with around 3-4gals remaining. I usually get about 400mi/fill-up. However, a couple of weekends ago while driving up a hill, my '08 seemingly ran out of gas. The "range left" had roughly 20mi and the low fuel light didn't come on. Fortunately, this happened in my...

At most, $900 on parts. But from what I've seen, can probably get everything I want for under $700. I've got two able mechanics in my family, so labor and technical assistance is no issue. I really only see the need to upgrade the head unit; the speakers sound pretty good and deep as they are...

Right now I have the stock 6-speaker on the 2008 V6 4WD SR5 with the CD-player, but am looking to replace it with something that has SiriusXM, Bluetooth and GPS navigation. I've started my search with Crutchfield. What are some other sources, and what have others installed in their dashes...

Hello all, after driving a 2001 Acura MDX I recently traded it in for an '08 4Runner with 65,000-miles. So far, I've been quite pleased with its performance. It's a bit more "truck like" than the MDX (though rides quite comfortably), but is quicker, has a better turning radius, and much...
