KO3 with C Load Rating? I have only found KO3 tires in size LT265/70R17 with a load rating of E and weighting 56 pounds. The same size KO2 tire with a load rating of C only weights 47 pounds. I don't need an E rated tire. The lighter C rating is sufficient, has a smoother ride, weights much...

When should the heater hoses be replaced in the 5th gen 4Runner?

In the video it looked like when you were recovering Tyler's Tacoma, that the strap was placed around a trailer hitch ball. If so, that is a very unsafe practice.

You are looking for the zero point calibration instructions. They are found here: http://www.toyota-4runner.org/5th-gen-t4rs/71093-yaw-rate-acceleration-sensor-zero-point-calibration.html

The problem is not that the passenger airbag would not deploy in an accident, it is that it will deploy in an explosive manner that results in metal parts shooting out killing the passenger.

My XM radio was losing signal frequently. On my first trip to the dealer they said their testing did not find any problem. The service adviser told me to use my cell phone to take a video of the problem. I went to an open area turned on the radio and recorded a short video of the radio...

Is that a 10 year old behind the wheel?

More recall announcements to come. The Takata airbag recall is going to be the largest recall campaign in the history of the auto industry. From Forbes: "On May 4, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration dramatically expanded its recall of Takata-made inflators, adding as many as...

After a weekend in the mountains, I returned home. The next day the garage stank. Thinking it must be from some smelly mud I missed when I washed the truck, I hosed it down again. The smell remained even after multiple washings. I then took the 4Runner in for an oil change. When the technician...
