I would start simple and really tighten down the connections to the battery posts. You can have the negative terminal connected, but not just quite tight enough, and have this problem.

I’m having some work done in Tulsa week after next. If you’re not in a rush I can let you know (OCD level) how it went when it’s done (probably 10/20-23ish)

Well, years later found the pictures so getting them uploaded again. t4r.org limits 8 pics per post so some posts that originally had more will only have 8 now. Here are some other steering knuckle pics that I couldn't add to the original write-up

Since you’re referring to the recall, the answer to your question is no. The 01-02 ball joints may have been scratched when they were manufactured which could lead to issues. That said, all 3rd gens seem to have the possibility of shearing which is what previous replies are discussing - and...

List of things you do not need to replace just because you're replacing your shocks: springs, shock mounts, sway bar, sway bar links, headlight washer fluid, along with everything else you can think of. If you use this shop, at the very least request they save the shock mounts and show you what...

Yes, and Valvoline MaxLife ATF works perfectly fine in transmissions that call for WS. Speaking from personal experience.

This is not true in my experience at least. Toyota removed my remote start fob capabilities after one year on a brand new 2020 purchase because I wouldn’t sign up for their remote services. Contacted Toyota corporate multiple times and they wouldn’t do anything unless I paid them monthly.

Make sure the installation business is willing to use your provided dam. I tried that once and they wouldn't use anything but their parts. They will likely tell you they won't warranty the installation. Just make sure they don't use one of those "T" shaped dams that goes up and rests on top of...

You guys could give this a shot: DYNOflex - Superb Windshield Protection Film - Windshield Protection Film - STEK I started with something called ExoShield but do not recommend it now that I replaced that with DYNOflex. The DYNOflex is super clear and you can barely tell it's there (I don't...

Not necessarily just disconnecting the airbag. It was either driving around with an airbag absent or maybe I forgot to disconnect the battery when I hooked the airbag back up after the trip. I have disconnected the airbags and taken both seats out many times without issue, same for steering...

Here's my story. I did this in my old Sequoia so that I could fit a kayak inside on a long road trip. Now, I may have forgotten to disconnect the battery when I put the seat back in but I'm not sure. Anyways 4,000 miles later I put the seat back in and the airbag light never went off. Brought it...

Good choice IMO I did this a long time ago. Bought a used '01 Limited seat and mixed and matched with my '99 Limited seat at the time. Bought a OEM switch on ebay. Worked great. I don't have the car anymore so the following is the best I can do. This write-up used to have pictures so not sure...

That Panasonic probably has 2-4 more years of life left in it. I wouldn't replace it yet. Otherwise, every Interstate battery I've had has made it 5+ years.
