Update: still good to go!

For what its worth, I use Les Schwab quick chains on my Sport 2wd. They do build up with snow and hit the factory mud flaps. If the mud flaps were not there it would not be an issue at all.

Pull the dome light fuse and see if it turns them all off. If it does you can put a switch in to interrupt the circuit... could wire a switch into something like this even... https://www.amazon.com/Holder-Connector-Extension-Adapter-gauge/dp/B07CTRNYR1. Not sure exactly what’s on that circuit...

Got it done! I will not do it again without the crankshaft pulley holding tool. I will also have a small drill cleaning disc/pad available to clean the water pump mating surface - took forever by hand. Next up is my dads 4.7 tundra with 222,000 on the original belt. Thanks again blackworks...

Hi blackworks thanks for the info. I have read your thread in the past as I have been planning to do this job for 7 years (but not planning the job for 7 years).. I have watched all the videos as well. I reread the entirety of the threads you linked. I will say that the threads do not...

Hey, I’m doing my first timing belt change ever (for me, and I believe my runner). I have watched several videos and read through forums. There seems to be a lack of clarifying information easily available about timing marks... What I do know for sure is that the marks where you set the crank...

Looks like the camera lifespan is about 5-6 years. Time to replace as it is only working about 25% of the time.

There is a way to rebuild that valve... I lost the link to the procedure, but you might be able to dig it up on a Landcruiser forum (I think that's where I had found it). There are a few seals (orings) in there. Good Luck.

Windshield seal/clip? Take to dealer, maybe they have a TSB or something.

You likely shorted out the circuit and blew the fuse. Some led kits say they will draw more current than the incandescent, so that may have blown it too. I have had no problems with the ones I bought on Amazon called iBrightstar... except their kit isn't quite right...but they will fix it...

I'll stick with the 4th gen.

My 2019 F350 V10 work truck (employer owned) can't even pull its own pants up, the wheel wells are made of cardboard, and it smells like oil leak at 4500 miles. So based on that, the bronco is ugly. Sorry.

Instructions for budget cabin air filter. 1. Go to hardware store and buy cut to fit 20x30x1 (or so) air filter. 2. Get the scissors from the kitchen drawer (or maybe not from that location). 3. Trace expensive filter. 4. Cut out new one. 5. Install. 6. Repeat steps 3-5 for other vehicles...

What have you checked so far? Brake squealer maybe or rock stuck between disc and shield?.

Jables I am happy with the Monroe set I used to replace xreas on mine. Have had them over a year and they have loosened up a little. They leveled the front and the ride quality seems to match vehicle well...I would say just slightly stiffer than the xreas but those had 130k on them. Tires will...
