i need something a bit stiffer, one of my boats weighs close to 5000lbs with the trailer and the rear sags ALOT. today my brother in law bought an sti that caught on fire and i towed it home for him.... thing was bottomed out the whole time. ive got the daystar budget boost spacer up front...

ive got the same 4runner and ive done a drain and refill twice on mine in the last 2k miles. got it at 70k miles, had never been done before, so i did it twice to cycle some clean fluid through it. you dont have a dipstick, it uses WS fluid and has a fill port on the side of the trans. its...

gonna need a bottom end, i would put money on the heads being fine. we recently had a terrible tech hired(already fired) who left a drain plug loose on a ls460, after 1400 miles the drain plug fell out, and the owners drove it till it turned off. was towed in obviously, we took it apart and...

this is the 1st thing i did with mine, tapped the holes and ran up some ss bolts i also replace all of the ones i do on customers gx470's so next time it comes in i have nothing to worry about. BUT being flat rate, if bolts break off and its more then 1. i dont fix it unless the customer...

always do this as well. no matter what you do the level always seems to drop a little over the next few days

ouch, pulling the dash is never fun

they should have added dye when they recharged it. should be really easy to find the leak you can try and go back and get them to deal with it, but unfortunately its as is

damn you guys must have some terrible dealers around you. im a tech at lexus and we are constantly getting vehicles towed in from independent shops, and also alot of new clients from other dealers that couldnt get the problem/repair sorted out. our management can be a joke at times, but as far...

kinda sounds like the timing might just be slightly off, has it been pulled back apart to verify timing??

i wouldnt say its a common problem. but its not unheard of

i never did a search. sucks its happening to so many people, i only paid $47 for the switch and it took like 15 minutes to install. i only noticed mine was melted because i had a customer with an rx350 come in the day before because theirs was also melted

my hatch has been extremely difficult to open since i got it. finally last week i noticed that the switch rubber was essentially melted. so i ordered a new one and put it in tonight. now it opens with the slightest touch, so much better

maybe just meant the monthly payments were to much?

they are a pain in the ass. i had to do them a few weeks ago when i did rear bearings on a gx 470 the best way to do it is install the pin and keep it in place with your finger from the back, put the back plate and spring on the pin and use needle nose pliers to compress the spring as much as...

ive had mixed luck with solenoids on toyota vehicles. like 90% of them have ended up needing a trans even after putting a solenoid/harness in. though the one person i really tried to talk out of putting a solenoid in as i didnt want them to waste money. that one ended up completely fixing it
