    2007 brake booster cycling a lot - some sort of vacuum leak?

    I had this same problem on my 2003 4runner, I think the accumulator was not holding pressure so the motor kept running off and on. I got on ebay and bouth the accumulator, pump and motor assembly for 350 bucks. Installed it myself and now works like it should. Motor only comes on if you apply...

    Approximate cost to replace timing belt and water pump

    Count me in that fleet truck theory. 12yrs on same belt and water pump, going on 200k miles in that time span. No leaks that I know of and running fine in this Colorado thin air. I don't even plan to change it out until the tranny goes out and that may be never. I go up Eisenhower Tunnel...

    How often do you REALLY have to change the rear dif fluid?

    I drove mine around for 130k miles until I decided to change the gear oil and it was still ok. Hell my transmission oil went longer and my timing belt and water pump going on 200k so no worries. My 2002 sport is my evil step child I just abuse. I hate the smell of gear oil man that stuff stinks.

    Changing Differential & Transfer Case Fluids - Pics Included

    Didn't drain the transmission as the TC has two 24mm bolts the transmission is way different. The previous owner or shop must have put transmission oil cause it was red color. I put walmart syn blend 75w-90 in the TC.

    Falken Wildpeak AT3W or BFG AT/KO2

    From reading online info the yellow and red dots refer to the heavy spots on the tire and should be mounted where the wheel stem is for least amount of weights to be used. Supposedly the yellow dot is the one you line up from what I read. My tires balance out pretty good and only one of my...

    Changing Differential & Transfer Case Fluids - Pics Included

    Is the toyota 75w oil red and runny like transmission oil. I just changed mine out and it was red and looked like transmission oil. Really light weight oil and didn't smell like gear oil which stinks and you know it's of a different oil. I just hope it wasn't Trans oil in the TC and if it was...

    Falken Wildpeak AT3W or BFG AT/KO2

    They have the same sidewall on both sides of the tire, if you are referring to if one side is aggressive and the other side is not. Both sides black walls no white lettering on one side. Hope this answers your question. My p rated 17's ride smooth and no shakes even when they didnt mount the...

    Falken Wildpeak AT3W or BFG AT/KO2

    Actually did not get to ride in the snow today as I just stayed home and the snow melted before it even hit the roads. I hope for a blizzard so I could test these as last year's snowfall was ridiculous and the cooper atp and at3 were not great, sold them quick and for some reason people buy them...

    Falken Wildpeak AT3W or BFG AT/KO2

    Just got my falken and they are quiet and smooth. I got them in p265/70/17 on my 2002 sport. It's a bigger tire then my cooper at3 and hankook atm in the same size. The height on car is about 31.5" and 9" measured width on thread pattern. The tire states 10.5" wide but that could be the...

    12 yrs and 200k miles later on timing belt

    Ill take a look at it soon here and take pics of it to see if it's weathered. Tim the tool man I must have the best transmission ever but for some reason this thing just doesn't seem to want maintenance. I have really bad worn shocks but I've been driven so long like this I'm used to it. It...

    12 yrs and 200k miles later on timing belt

    Yes one change and that was it. Used the valvoline full synthetic stuff but I really didn't need to change it as it was red and still clean. I've had not issues with my transmission at all. I probably will not change it ever again cause its not on my list ever again. To tell the truth I have...
