Sure there is little to no breakdown but there could also be condensation in th crankcase. In the industry I work in the engines get their oil and filter changed based off of run hours or time, whichever comes first. I'm talking about critical engines that cost up to a million dollars a piece.

But for this guy that changes every 3000 miles the cost of getting a sample analyzed is about the same as an oil change at home using dino and a cheap filter.

Weapon R is nowhere near the king of the hill. In that world they are somewhere in the middle.

Poor bumber.

I wouldn't put those on my 4Runner even if they were free.

I will check this but it doesn't seem to fit the problem. If I'm going 60mph and press the brakes at say 300 feet from a stop light I don't get the sensation in the pedal until the last 75 feet. Wouldn't there be enough pressure built up by then?

If so, can you explain what is going on with the booster pump to make that happen in this scenario?

Oh and I've had plenty of warped rotors so I know what it feels like. Also this is the 35th car I've owned and I've never felt anything like this before.

I haven't measured them and they are not currently warped. It feels as though the ABS kicks on for one second or less while in the 15 to 20 mph range while braking. A friend with a 2005 Tacoma had a similar experience though the sensation lasted a lot longer. He ended up having some type of...

It's not warped rotors at least for me. While braking at around 15 to 20 mph you feel a one time anti-lock buzz feeling in the pedal that lasts less than a second. It doesn't do it every time.

I get the same feeling in my brake pedal too. Did you figure it out?

Bummer, I'd be down for a group buy.

I bought a clean 2005 SR5 last week with 58k on the clock from a small dealer. One owner and great maintenance history. The only drawback is that it was smoked in, which I'm dealing with and will eventually eliminate the smell. Anyway, I thought one of the first things on my list would be to...

Get to work! Don't take no for an answer from her! Oh and post how you convinced her I can use the same technique on my wife.

Looking forward to being able to buy one of these once they're available. The 2005-2009 version looks great!
