UPDATE I got the tranny drained and refilled. Tech said the fluid was pretty nasty. Shifts about as usual, so I can only assume that all is well and I'm on new fluid now. I decided to flush the power steering myself. Quite a mess as it REALLY comes out when you start the truck. Ran about a...

My 2007 Limited is running quite well, but with 130K on the clock, I am thinking about preventative measures to keep me on the road. What is the thoughts on a tramission flush? Also, what about the power steering flush? Thanks ahead.

What is the procedure?

What is the procedure to changing the power steering fluid on my '07 4Runner Limited (V8) ? I am growing concerned with the color and texture of it. Thanks ahead.

Getting the P0031 code. Says 02 Sensor, Bank 1 upstream. I see the down stream on the driver's side, but not the upstream. 2 cats on each side, so where the heck is the sensor located? Thanks ahead

Well, the weather here in the Memphis area has been really weird this year. The latest bout was freezing rain (1") then sleet (3") and then snow (2"). To say the least things here came to a standstill. I had to get my wife to work at the hospital by 6am, so off we went at 4am to ensure her...

I am needing to put the Runner in the shop for the required replacement of the timing belt, water pump etc. Got a couple of quotes, but am wondering what you all are giving for this repair? Thanks ahead

2007 Limited with 109K on the clock, ALL trouble free. I am about the have the timing belts and water pump replaced (preventative maintenance) and thinking of at least flushing the tranny. What is the suggestion here on the forum? Flush, pan-drop or just drive ?

I picked it up at the local autoparts store. Was not very expensive and appears to be a very similar tip sold by the dealership where I purchased the T4R. It says 3 R Racing on the tip, and as I do an image search, there must be quite a few of them out there. Good luck.

Well I SF'd my Limited this evening. I did the twin lines on the top of the TB and actually saw NO smoke at all during the application. I let is soak for an hour or so and decided to blow it out and put it back in the garage....oh yeah.....detailed it today as well. WELL.....it sputtered and...

You have two marks on the resevior. The highest mark is the maximum mark to avoid "boil-over" when hot, and the lower mark is the minimum or LOW mark. I would suggest filling to the upper mark when your engine is cold. Good luck

Sorry for the hyjack, but what are you solving?

I made a little extension cord with a multi-ended adapter. That way I can power my computer and still have an outlet available for whatever. Now, my question for the OP is why not just use the car-adapter for your phone? It is easier to just use this method than to dig into the console, turn...

That about covers it.

The PA portion of a CB radio is primarily there so that you can hear your CB traffice when outside your vehicle. As mentioned, they are very weak and do not provide enough power to heard as an "address" system. They are what they are, nothing more.
