    Removable JBL Speaker - Smash and Grab

    Hopefully Toyota or someone will come up with an after market blank to install in the real speakers place. I never plan on ever using it anyway.

    Timing belt service - price disparity

    You are not getting genuine Toyota parts & sealant , and I bet they wont use the Factory Service Manual when installing. Its your money though

    Replacing Catalytic Converter - Any tips?

    It does not look to difficult. Just take your time, and be patient. A few days before you tackle the job, start spraying all the bolts /nuts on the exhaust pipe and manifold with Liquid wrench or equivalent daily.

    Toyota's Check Engine Scam.

    And all they would have done is tighten the gas cap. For the price, I would have considered just replacing the gas cap. I will only use OEM Toyota parts in my 4runner, and thats why is runs so well and will last a long time.

    2006 4runner @ 226K Is there a procedure for installing a new Accumulator? Do you fill it with fluid or leave it dry, as it came from the dealer?

    Headlight Condensation, should I buy new or fix?

    If you do not go OEM , you are asking for more problems. I have an SR5 and purchased the OEM lamp assemblies for the same year in the sport version which have darker lenses, and it was worth it !

    Brake pedal went to floor?

    I have a 2006 4runner V6 with 223 K miles on it and if your pedal went to the floor it has nothing to do with pads, rotors etc..... Either your hydraulic booster assembly was serviced and not bled properly, or there is an issue with the booster assembly itself. Pump, motor, accumulator. These...

    Thermostat not opening?

    You can remove the T-stat, and test it in a pot of water with a thermometer per the FSM. Always purchase a OEM thermostat from the dealer.

    Well, It Finally Happened......

    Thank you for that Earthrealm... I tested the O2 sensor on bank 2 below the cat. It was 13 I also tested the A/F sensor above the cat. It was 2 Both were tested at about 69-70 degrees according to my IR thermometer. So according to the FSM , they were both within their guidelines.

    Avert possible CAT failure.p0430

    I believe there is a Passenger side, and a drivers side specific ( different part numbers) for the O2 Sensors. I found this FSM test for the sensor.

    Well, It Finally Happened......

    OK, thanks for the input. I will continue to try to find conclusive answers to weather the Bank 2 is passenger or drivers side.
